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!

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. 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.

Reasonably light. Tooth paste tube easily refills off a bigger tube with a little thought and allows me to brush my teeth twice a day for a week.”

Make sure you have fresh clean teeth to lift your spirits without weighing down your pack. This ultralight, compact toothbrush includes an extension handle, a mini toothpaste tube, and a handy carrying case all for less than an ounce! If that is still too heavy carry only the parts you need.

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.

On my first backpacking trip with this item we had some very wet weather and I repeatedly found uses for this very light but super practical sit pad. It’s comfy to sit on but was also handy for kneeling on when dealing with wet gear or having a clean/dry place to put things on. Everyone in my family wants one now!!”

When it is time to stop for a meal or to relax and take in the views, our Foam Sit Pad will give you a dry, comfortable seat anywhere. This ultralight foam sit pad folds down small so that it is easy to pack. It fits nicely in the base-straps on our backpacks, or in an exterior pocket. You can pull it out on breaks to keep your butt dry and padded, or tuck it into the foot of your sleeping bag for padding under your feet at night. It is blue on one side and black on the other.

This pad is included as back padding with our Nero backpack and Sub-Nero backpacks.

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!

Great item to add to your repair/ditty bag/possibles kit. In a pinch the needle can be converted to a fishing hook. It could also be used for an emergency suture if you don’t have butterfly bandages or superglue to seal a laceration.

Nice to have some lightweight, small carabiners when hiking. Strung a line and used them to hold gear.

– Leon H., ★★★★★

At exactly one tenth of an ounce each these are the smallest and lightest carabiners around. They are perfect for clipping items to your pack, hanging your food bag, and many other uses. They are strong enough for almost any backpacking application, but are not meant to support a human's weight.

If you need a spot on your gear to clip it to, add a Stick on Loop.

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.

A small curvy compass with thermometer and cardinal directions. With its small size and precise needle, this is the perfect compass to to bring along your hike.

Not for advanced navigation, but a great aid if you need to find the right direction or a backup for a more advanced compass. It fits right in your pocket or clip it to your backpack's shoulder strap with the included carabiner. The convenient thermometer will keep you aware of your changing environment. Keep this compass with you at all times and stay safe!

It's hard to escape the sun beating down on your neck and arms during a long stretch of trail with little tree coverage. Protect yourself from the sun without needing long layers.

Banana Boat Sport Performance sunscreen is a trusted brand. It doesn't run, and it is sweat and water resistant. It applies smooth and clear, and has a mild odor. Best of all, it comes in a 1 fluid ounce tube which is the perfect size for a week or more on trail depending on how much skin is exposed and how often it is reapplied.

This is without doubt the warmest beanie l have ever had on my head in still air. Kept me toasty in sub zero. I’ve recommended it and Zpacks to several friends.

Great hat. Brim blocks the sun perfectly. Quality material and stitching. Great fit and look.

– Vincent C., ★★★★★

Our five panel hat is the perfect hiker trash accessory. They look great combined with those short shorts and that thrift store button up. Great for blocking the sun, propping up rain hoods, or just rounding out that relaxed look.
