Lightweight Backpacking Clothing
New! Only The Lightest High-Performance Shirts
Before we put our name on a shirt it had to be perfect. We searched a long time and finally found the perfect shirt that has it all. Its lightweight, moisture-wicking, quick-drying, odor-fighting, stain-releasing, loose-fitting, sun-protecting, and great looking. And it’s all delivered to you at a price that won’t break the bank. The strong, comfortable, lightweight fabric is 100% polyester and quickly moves moisture away from your body. If you get caught in a rainstorm, you’ll be dry before you know it. You stay cool on hot days and warm on cool days. The comfortable athletic cut gives you full range of motion. Both shirts layer great with your other clothing. The Only The Lightest Camping Equipment logo is printed full size both front and back to let others know how you hike. Be the envy of every hiker on your block Raglan sleeves. Double-needle sleeves and hem. A short-sleeve medium weighs only 4.9 ounces. A long-sleeve medium is just 5.6 ounces. Medium, large, and extra large. Short-sleeve color: Forest green. Long-sleeve color: Lake blue.
Care instructions: Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Wash and dry with similar colors. Do not dry clean. Do not iron. Never use scented detergents, bleach, dryer sheets, or fabric softeners. They harm the performance qualities of the fabric. Cool tumble dry, or better yet, hang to dry – that’s what they are made to do. They’ll look better, too.

$29.95 No. 6050  Gatewood Cape/ShelterThe
Gatewood Cape is designed to
provide full protection when worn as a cape or used as a shelter.
Unlike ponchos, capes don't have long slits along the sides. While the
poncho may allow for more ventilation, it won't keep out wind blown
rain. Dual zipper pulls on the front of the Gatewood Cape allow you to
regulate ventilation while still providing full protection. And the
open-skirted design allows fresh air to enter the bottom. The cape is
made with high strength 30 denier silicone-coated nylon.
 Equinox Ultralite Terrapin Poncho/TarpServes
double duty as both poncho
and shelter. It's cut large for coverage and versatility. Reinforced,
rust-resistant snaps form wrist openings and secure sides. Top cinches
closed and four corners have durable nylon loops for tie downs for
conversion to shelter. Made from tough 1.1 oz. silicone coated ripstop
nylon. 58" x 90". Just 7 oz. 7.2 oz. with stuff sack. Color: Varies  Red Ledge Jacket and PantsWaterproof
