The Nero Ultra is a compact frameless backpack streamlined to only the most essential features making it great for hikes where less weight and volume is required.

Multiple thru-hikes of the Triple Crown trails have been completed with our Nero series backpacks, helping to prove that smaller volume frameless packs are a legitimate approach to long-distance hiking.

Featuring an optional removable belt, an included sit pad, and a variety of optional modular add-ons, the highly versatile Nero Ultra will allow you to get the most out of any day, section, or thru-hike.

I love this tent, I am 6'4" and really needed a tent with a longer bathtub. Fits me my dog, and my pack and still has space.

Designed for taller hikers, the DupleXL takes all of the great features from the Duplex and scales them up.  The DupleXL boasts an 8 foot long (2.44m) usable floor length, perfect for hikers up to 7'0".

From the Wonderland Trail to the Wind River Range, redefine your boundaries as you cover more trail with an ultralight tent designed to specifically handle the demands of taller long distance backpackers.

The DupleXL is lightweight, roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, pitches easily, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces, making this tent the sweet spot when it comes to size, weight, and features.

Check out the DupleXL Zip for a version with zippered storm doors, peak vents, and magnetic door toggles.

An optional flat groundsheet is available for added protection here.

This quilt is awesome! It’s my first quilt in the transition from a sleeping bag, and I couldn’t be happier. Super light, super simple, and incredibly comfortable. It also surprised me at how packable it is, it’s one of the easiest items to put back in its provided stuff sack. I would recommend this quilt to anyone.

*THESE DO NOT FIT OUR FRAMED BACKPACKS*

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.

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.

– Constance D., ★★★★☆

As the absolute lightest insulated air sleeping pad available, the NeoAir UberLite is the top choice for thru hikers and ounce counters, setting a new standard for ultralight comfort. The unrivaled Triangular Core Matrix offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any air sleeping pad construction, creating a 2.3 R-value. The construction gives the 2.5 inch (6.4 cm) thick pad superior stability for maximum camp comfort.

The ultralight sleeping pad features the high-performance WingLock valve, allowing the pad to inflate three times faster thanks to a larger opening and one-way inflation. Like all Therm-a-Rest pads, the NeoAir UberLite is made in the USA to ensure quality and minimize environmental impact. The pad includes a breath-saving pump sack, compact stuff sack and field repair kit.

It’s nice to my stakes, which are always pop up and get loose from the top.

I have used many different brands of titanium wire stakes and find these to be the best quality.

– Steve H., ★★★★★

Perfect for those hikers who need a little more strength and durability. These stakes are a little longer and thicker than our 6” ultralight titanium tent stakes. They have a little more grip and are less susceptible to bending. These stakes are easier to press into packed or frozen ground compared to larger stakes. Since these are ultralight stakes, It is better to press them into the ground rather than hammering. Use rocks to anchor them in high wind.

They have a red head, which makes them harder to lose.

When weight is at a premium, our Minimalist Trekking Poles allow you to navigate the most rugged of terrain without sacrificing performance or function. These stripped-down, foam handle, trekking poles are made from ultralight, ultra-strong carbon fiber, and feature a sturdy twist locking mechanism.

My new ditty bag. From first aid to toothbrush, this bag holds just enough. I just throw it in any bag I’m using. At first I thought “wow, it’s so thin and feels fragile,” but I’ve had no issues. Love it.
