Lightload towels are the lightest, and most useful pack towels available. They come packed in a small cylinder, and unfold to about 12.5" x 22.5" (32 x 57 cm). They are super absorbent, and very quick drying. Imagine a name brand paper towel, except that these are cloth, reusable, hand washable, and biodegradable.

Don’t forget your towel!

When every ounce counts and pack space is at a premium a Titanium Short Handle Spoon is the only utensil you’ll ever need. This ultralight short handle spoon packs into your pot and is strong enough to cook anything you can come up with.

When every ounce counts the Titanium Long Handle Spoon is the only utensil you’ll ever need. This ultralight long handle spoon reaches deep to the bottom of trail food pouches and is strong enough to cook anything you can come up with.

I really like this flask. It has a nice shape, easy to fill, lightweight. It has become my go-to flask.

– Jeanine F., ★★★★★

Our titanium flask is a sleek and ultralight way to ensure you enjoy your favorite spirits after a long day on trail.  A lighter and stronger option than steel, titanium is the perfect choice for an ultralight flask that doesn't leave your whiskey with that unpleasant metallic tinge.

Also includes a titanium funnel for refills.

Less smell, more waterproof = good idea. Sorry bears.

Made from an ultra durable plastic film for long life and sized just right for most commercial bear bags and canisters, these sacks will shave ounces off your gear list and save you money. Sized to line our food bags and our backpacks as indicated on the Specifications tab below.

This thing was easy to attach and very lightweight. It will help me not lose track of IDs and cash in the bottom of my pack!

– Karen J., ★★★★★

Make sure you don’t lose your most important items. Attach this stick-on key zip pouch to the inside of your backpack, and your keys, wallet, passport, smartphone or other valuables will still be where you left them at the end of your hike. When you get to town the pouch detaches and fits in your pocket.

Just peel off the brown paper backing from the included flat clips and attach the pouch inside your backpack where you want it. We usually stick it towards the top of the backpack right behind the shoulder straps so that it is easy to get to. The adhesive bonds well and will also work on any urethane coated backpack material. Spare Stick on Flat Clips are available if you want to clip this pouch to a second location.

Perfect for heading into the backcountry for an ultralight overnighter or for a night of car camping with the family, Helinox's lightest and most packable chair, the Chair Zero, delivers outstanding comfort, strength, and support at just 17 ounces.

Replace the stock stuff sack with our Slim Stuff Sack for additional weight savings.

What an incredibly handy little thing! I’m one of those folks that hate hydration reservoirs inside my pack. I needed a handy way to attach a bottle to my pack’s shoulder strap and this is it. It holds bottles securely and allows easy access. Genius!

– John S., ★★★★★

Tired of bending over backwards to reach your water bottles? Our Aquaclip Kit allows you to to clip a water bottle to your backpack’s shoulder straps or belt so you have it easily accessible up front. It will fit any small water bottle with a standard size neck. The bottle can be popped in and out easily on the go. We find that it carries the weight of a 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) bottle well. 

This clip is not designed to carry heavier water bottles. If you're looking to carry a larger bottle, like the 1L SmartWater bottle, we recommend our Water Bottle Sleeve instead.

The Zpacks kit includes one AquaClip, two One-Wrap® Velcro bands for securing it to the daisy chain on your shoulder straps, and a rubber end cap so that the clip cannot slide out of the velcro.

Excellent, Immediately noticed that the pack was more comfortable with these pads helping to hike longer.

– Louis S., ★★★★★

Our Shoulder Strap Pads add extra padding to your shoulder straps right where you need it. These shoulder strap pads should be compatible with almost any backpack straps. They are made with 3/8" closed cell foam, and a layer of soft cushioning 3D mesh on the underside. 

The loops fit my pack perfect and my ice axe perfect. What can I say...they’re perfect!

– Jerry C., ★★★★★

When your adventure calls for traveling along snowy ridgelines or climbing icy peaks, the ice axe loops are the perfect addition to your backpack. A pair of loops are attached at each side of the pack for securing two ice axes. The head of each axe secures through a loop at the bottom, and the handle is kept tight at the top with a shock cord band. The loops can all come off when you aren't carrying axes.

I love them. They work great for my trekking poles and fishing pole !!!

– Scott B., ★★★★★

When the terrain levels out or you’re strolling into a trail town, trekking pole holsters are a great way to stow your trekking poles out of the way. These are convenient if you want to quickly store your poles for climbing, road walking, or other situations where you prefer to have your hands free.

This item includes two pairs of adjustable shock cord loops.  Attach them to your shoulder straps and belt at each side of the backpack to temporarily hold a trekking pole at either side.

Simple and great to use and helps compact smaller loads.

– Christopher C., ★★★★★

Our detachable Roll Top Closure Straps let you cinch the roll top down to the sides of the backpack, rather than simply clipping it together. If you add these, you still have the ability to secure the top of the pack the normal way by clipping the top to itself.

Made in the USA.

*These are NOT compatible with our Nero Backpack.

The strap held my bear canister very well for my trip to the Adirondacks where a bear canister was required. Great product.

– Glen F., ★★★★★

Our V Top Strap adds additional stability when you’re carrying heavier items on the top of your backpack. It is a little bit more secure than the standard, single top strap.

It can be used to carry a bear canister so long as the canister can squish into your gear as shown. Alternatively, a canister can also be carried standing vertically inside the pack.

The V Top Strap is modular and can be added or removed from your pack as necessary. Our normal, single top strap is also included when you add this option.

These Top straps are not compatible with the Nero backpack.  If you need a V Top Strap for your Nero, you'll can purchase one specifically designed to work with one here.

This item is super. It is very light weight and keeps my pack dry. I am glad I purchased it with my Arc Haul 62L.

– Walter H., ★★★★★

Protect your backpack from pouring rain and muddy ground with our Pack Cover. Our pack cover is an ultralight option to keep your backpack dry, including the outside pockets. It includes an elastic clip to secure it from storm winds.

Consider a Pack Liner as an alternative, if you don't mind your outer pockets getting wet.

Designed specifically for the Nero, these 1L pouches feature a padded back for comfort and an integrated channel to slide over 3/4" or 1" wide webbing belts. Perfect for folded maps, snacks, hats, gloves, gadgets and more.

*THESE DO NOT FIT OUR FRAMED BACKPACKS*

These pockets are perfect for a few bulky items that I like to bring on my trips. I highly recommend them!

– Michael H., ★★★★★

Sometimes an adventure calls for a little extra space. Made from Ultra material, our modular Top Side Pockets allow you to carry extra gear (like your cooking pot or rain gear) on the outside of your pack while still being able to accommodate taller items (like trekking poles, an umbrella, or a fishing pole) behind the pockets.

This is one of those items that goes unnoticed when working properly. After a couple of long trail days I am happy to report it works as advertised. It’s worth the money. The thing I like most about it is it’s thick enough to shine under heavy load while remaining thin enough to go unnoticed on a light carry. It adds versatility to an already great pack. I don’t have any thoughts on how this could be improved currently.

– Kevin G., ★★★★★

Our Arc backpacks include a full-wrap padded belt. If you need a little extra padding in the lumbar area our detachable lumbar pad can double up the existing padding. The lumbar pad slides on and off the Arc belt as needed.

These are NOT compatible with our Nero Backpack.

The shock cord really helps to compress my pack down while also making it more functional. Great place to hold wet rain gear to dry or hang clothes to dry while hiking. I believe the shock cord is a must have. It adds more versatility and additional storage options.

– Daryl H., ★★★★★

The Shock Cord Lashing add-on can be used to hang items off your pack to dry, or to strap on additional items. The 3/32" shock cord is laced across the front of the backpack over the mesh pocket. The shock cord can be detached when not needed.

Made in the USA.

*This is NOT compatible with our Arc Zip or Arc Haul Zip backpacks.

Our Arc backpacks feature a removable and interchangeable belt. This is a useful feature if you lose or gain weight, or if the pack is transferred to a different size person. If the belt wears out before the rest of the pack you could replace it.

Very happy with purchase! No complaints - high quality and durable as all Zpacks products are!

– Henry W., ★★★★★

Your tent protects you every step of the way, from harsh rainy nights to dew dropped mornings. Shield your tent floor from unnecessary wear and tear, and add longevity with a flat groundsheet.

Our tent floors are reasonably durable as-is but an extra layer doesn’t hurt for peace of mind.

This is also available as Poncho which also doubles as a pack cover.

Check out more of our Shelter Add-Ons.

I'm always happy to lighten things up in my pack. This durable and strong sheet does just that!

– Rob S., ★★★★★

Tyvek "Home Wrap" is an ideal material for ground sheets. It is waterproof, and very abrasion and puncture resistant. Tyvek is stiff, and foldable like thick paper. It will not bunch up or slide around under you like other fabrics.

Fold up the edges and tape the corners to make yourself a bathtub floor for your tarp. Cut it to size using regular scissors to make a tent footprint. It does not fray and you do not need to hem or tape the edges.

This material is white on one side, with a blue and red Tyvek logo printed on the other side.

Solid and lightweight. Works well with the Altaplex.

– Todd L., ★★★★★

Our universal trekking pole jack slides over the tip of your trekking pole to boost the length for pitching taller tarps and tents.

It has an insert to catch your trekking pole tip and keep it centered and vertical. The insert is on a spring to adjust to different tip lengths. It will fit virtually all pointy trekking pole tips.

This pole jack will boost your pole height by about 10-10.5" (26 cm).

Works great, extremely lightweight, and adds living space to the Duplex and Triplex. Highly recommended!

– Justin H., ★★★★★

Need a lift? These fabric cups make it easy to prop up the head or foot of your shelter for more space. You can use a trekking pole with the handle up (out of the mud), or a tent pole, or a stick. The cup catches your pole handle, or tent pole tip securely and without any hassle.

32" (81 cm) Tent Poles are just the right length to prop the head or foot of our tents. Or use a 48" (122 cm) pole at the head or foot of a flat tarp.

One end of the pole cup has a loop that you can attach to any tie out with a lark's head knot. The other end has a Lineloc V sewn on so that you can adjust your guy line.

Additional Cord Not Provided 

I’ve decided to add a few accessories to my Triplex for added convenience. Having used my Triplex on the AT for 4 months, these few additions will make evening and morning routines easier.

– David C., ★★★★★

No more fumbling around in the dark looking for your phone, flashlight, or glasses. Keep all of your valuables safe in one location. This pocket is sewn to a strip of our seam tape at the top edge. Just peel away the paper backing and stick it in a convenient place. The tape sticks really well to Dyneema® Composite Fabric, and will also stick to urethane coated floors. It will not stick to silicone fabrics.

*All new Zpacks tents already have pockets by default. These can be used to retrofit older tents. They can also be attached to our bathtub groundsheets, or tents made by other manufacturers.

Esbit tablets are the true minimalist solution to heat water for simple meals, or an energizing cup of morning coffee. These solid fuel tablets will burn for about 12 minutes and can be blown out after partial use. They work great with our Titanium Wing Stove.

Don’t limit your adventure to just the water you can carry. Treat up to 30 gallons (120 Liters) of water on trail with Aquamira Droplets. These droplets work by producing chlorine dioxide which kills germs and bacteria in water. The two bottles weigh a combined 3 ounces when full making this a lightweight and compact solution to your water needs.

Net weight: 2 fluid ounces

I’ve used this staff on a couple of occasions now and love the rigidity and lightweight nature of it. And being able to break it down for travel is big plus.

– Kerwin I., ★★★★★

Our Carbon Fiber Staff allows you to support your full weight using two hands on rough terrain, while keeping one hand free on more moderate sections. This staff is an ultralight, extremely strong alternative to Zpacks Trekking Poles. It can fold down for compact packing, or can be folded to the correct height to prop up any of our tents.

This Titanium Wing Stove combined with Esbit Tablets may be the lightest and simplest way for minimalist hikers to heat water. The arms are shaped to nestle a small mug, or rest a larger pot like any of our Evernew pots and mugs. The arms fold together for a small flat packed size.

Make sure you have fresh clean teeth to lift your spirits without weighing down your pack. This ultralight, compact toothbrush is integrated into a case designed to function as an extension handle and includes a mini toothpaste tube.

The included toothpaste tube holds enough for a week or more if used sparingly. When it runs out, pinch the air out, butt it up tight against a normal toothpaste tube, and squeeze more in to re-fill it.

These are not returnable once the packaging is opened, unless there is a defect.

Show your love for Zpacks with this vinyl sticker. Slap it on your bear can, water bottles, laptops, car bumpers, your dog, the possibilities are endless!

This simple and clean black and gray sticker is a subtle way to show off your Zpacks love.

NOTE: This item is a single strap. Make sure to order at least two straps! Three straps are nice for full length pads.

Used them with my significant other in the [Smokeys] last month and it is so nice to keep the pads from sliding apart and staying cozy. Simple and light design. Would recommend for couples who want to stay close at night.

– Corey S., ★★★★★

Snuggling up next to your partner makes a cold night on the trail better, until your sleeping pads begin to slide apart. Use two or more of these sleeping pad straps to keep a pair of sleeping pads lashed together side by side.
