The Umbrella Holster allows you to keep your hands free while protecting yourself from the rain and sun with an ultralight umbrella. It easily attaches to the daisy chain on most backpack's straps. In calm weather you can keep both hands on your trekking poles, while in strong wind or driving rain you can rest one hand on the umbrella to control the angle.

The Umbrella Holster consists of a clip and an adjustable shock cord loop that attaches to your shoulder strap.

Attach the buckle above the sternum strap on your strap's daisy chain and then attach the shock cord loop at the bottom of the daisy chain.

Insert your umbrella into the clip and then cinch the shock cord tight around the umbrella’s handle.

Perfect for use with our Lotus UL Umbrella.

Keep your umbrella compact and protected with this stuff sack.  Great for storing your umbrella vertically in your pack’s side pocket.

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.

The kilt packs down to nothing and very very light weight. Far better than carrying rain trousers at 5 times plus for weight. The kilt is very easy to use quickly and no need to take boots off. A great idea that keeps you dry with good quality materials and finish. Arrived quickly when ordered.

– Ian M., ★★★★★

The Vertice Kilt is a unique solution to staying cool in warm weather storms, and is a great option for ultralight waist to knee rain protection.

Also available in a lighter weight Dyneema Composite Fabric DCF Rain Kilt version.

If you're not into a kilt but still into staying dry, check out the rest of our Rain Gear.

Engineered for gram-weenies and mileage junkies—the Wide Mouth Dry Bag is a convenient way to pack and compress your tent or clothes. The adjustable size can fit anything from a one to a three person tent with accessories, or a varying assortment of clothing while always maintaining a 12" (30.5 cm) width that fits horizontally in small backpacks. Just squish the contents and roll down the top to compress your items to a minimum packed size.

The wide opening makes it easier to see and find small gear items, while larger items are faster to pack compared to a typical stuff sack or side-opening dry bag.

A color band of your choice is included to help you easily differentiate between bags. Need some other sizes? Check out the rest of our Dry Bag collection.

I’m a cold sleeper and was looking for options to help keep my feet warm through out the night. In the past I’ve used wool socks which helped but didn’t quite keep the chill out. The first night I used the goose socks it was like heaven! They are so lightweight and add noticeable warmth! These will extend my hiking season well into the late fall, worth every penny!

– Kimberly N., ★★★★★

Color requests are not available, the Small size comes in Orange/Black, the Medium in Azure Blue/Black, and the Large in Navy Blue/Black. All sizes are fully reversible with black on the inside or outside!

Couldn’t be happier with this down hood. Perfect for quilt users, doesn’t slide around or off your head at night like a beanie can on straight, slick hair. Much better than the hood on a sleeping bag, which can slide into your face when you turn, and of course can’t be detached for use as a separate warm hood. The ultra light weight is remarkable. It’s very warm and has a cozy fit and feel.

Get ready for sweet dreams on cold nights when bundled up with the Zpacks Down Hood. A perfect companion to your ultralight down quilt, stay cozy and snug tucked away from the cold.
