What I love most about this sleeping pad is its light weight, and that it packs up very small. I had to send the first one back because of a leaky valve, but received a replacement very quickly. I love the new valve design - it’s very easy to use, and very efficient.

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!!”

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

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.

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.
