Excellent! I have the worst circulation and have tried literally every glove and mitten on the market. My hands and fingertips freeze within a few minutes of being in the cold wether it's mild or below zero. These gloves keep my fingertips warm! I do not have to wear anything else.

Winter weather can be harsh, but when the digits drop yours don’t have to feel the chill. Made from a combination of New Zealand's brushtail possum fur, and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool, these Brushtail Possum gloves provide plenty of warmth when you need it most.

Featuring conductive ends on both the index finger and thumb, these gloves will allow you to use your smartphone and other touch screen devices without having to remove them.

These gloves are a great companion to the Brushtail Possum Socks, and can be used as a liner under our Vertice Rain Mitts

*Gloves are non-returnable if they have been removed from the packaging.

Keeps your cell phone secure and handy when you need it for navigation or to take a picture. Pouch weighs next to nothing; a must for every serious hiker. I highly recommend this product.

– Paul G., ★★★★★

Shoulder Pouches are the ideal place to keep your small camera or phone in reach for taking quick photos. The main compartment of the shoulder pouches are a good size for your wallet, car keys, map, headlamp, mittens, sunglasses, candy bars, pack towel, GPS, or any other items you would like to have within easy reach. The pouches carry comfortably on your shoulder, and you will hardly notice them there.

The small exterior mesh pocket can be used to store your small items like lip balm, emergency whistle, or a compass.

I wanted a food bag that was more flexible than a rigid bear canister that I could hang confidently and that would hold up to the elements. Hangs well, stores in backpack well, holds up well in weather and is just plain wonderful.

Keep your food safe from bears, rodents, and other woodland creatures with our ultralight Bear Bagging Kit. Featuring one of our Food Bags, a Rock Sack and 50ft of 2.0mm Z-Line Slick Cord, our Bear Bagging kit is everything you need to make sure your food is safe while you sleep.

These things are sweet. Light as a feather, and stiff as a board. I love the additional grip down low under the handles. Adds way more versatility on steeper grades.

– Jesse B., ★★★★★

Don’t tackle peaks and valleys alone, always take a friend, and in this case take two!   Our trekking poles are made from ultralight, ultra-strong carbon fiber, with sturdy clasp locking mechanisms. They have a foam or cork handle for a comfortable sweat free grip.

In addition to being fantastic trekking poles, they can also be used to set up all of our Plex tents excluding the Altaplex.

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

– Dave B., ★★★★★

NyloPro Odor Barrier Bags are an odor proof and water proof ultralight storage solution for the scented items you bring into the outdoors. 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.

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!!”

– Brandie L., ★★★★★

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.

Blue 4-section pads have the most compact folded size and are best if you plan to store the pad inside your backpack or tucked in an external pocket.

Gray 3-section pads are the same dimensions, but they fold vertically into a longer, skinnier packed size. This style is more rigid when used as back padding in our Nero backpacks. The longer, skinnier packed shape is also more secure when stored in base straps.

 

It was great at blocking the sun and flexible in the wind. I used it for hours in a rain storm yesterday and it was so light I barely noticed I was holding it that long. I plan to bring this umbrella everywhere.

– Julie C., ★★★★★

Take cover from brutal sun and intense downpours with our Lotus Ultralight Umbrella. We worked hard to develop the world's lightest backpacking umbrella. Our unique Lotus frame allows the umbrella to flex in the wind without breaking, which is common with other ultralight umbrellas that feature single-strut designs.

Weighing in at just 6.8 ounces it is perfect for beating the heat or helping you stay dry in a storm while still being durable enough to stand up to the abuse of a thru-hike. This umbrella will have your back rain or shine!

Add our Umbrella Holster for hands free use and our Umbrella Stuff Sack for storage.

Easy to place into all terrain. Great holding capability.

– Zee S., ★★★★★

 

Increased surface area make these Carbon Fiber Stakes a great choice for a variety of terrain. Made with a Carbon Fiber shaft with a metal tip and metal end cap, these stakes have the best holding power to weight ratio of any of the stakes we carry. These stakes have a blue cord through the end to make them easy to see and easy to pull out of the ground.

The thick diameter allows them to grip the ground better than thin titanium. These are excellent in loose soil, and they have also proven to be very functional in typical dirt. On packed ground or on bedrock lay them sideways and anchor with rocks.

These are the only stakes that can reliably be carried through airport security. We have carried these stakes through US airport security a dozen times with no issues. Our experience with metal stakes is they are confiscated about half the time. Please report if you have any trouble with these.

The Zpacks Ultralight Camp Shoes are crafted with serious hikers and backpackers in mind. Made from durable Robic fabric and breathable lycra mesh, these shoes offer a lightweight yet protective layer that lets your feet breathe after a long day on the trail.

The thin yet resilient 4mm foam sole is designed to keep rocks, roots, and rugged terrain from disturbing your downtime, so you can enjoy those campfires and late night privy visits without the weight of traditional camp shoes or waterlogged trail runners.

Compact and collapsible, these camp shoes are lighter than sandals and as comfortable as slippers. They are as packable as they are practical, fitting snugly in even the smallest corners of your backpack. Whether you’re a dedicated thru-hiker or a weekend warrior, the days of big, clunky footwear dangling off your pack are over. Also great as a shower sandal!

Deluxe Camp Shoes with an enclosed heel are also available.

These shoes are meant to be worn for short distances around camp. Not intended for hiking.

Reliable, stays securely in ground. Peace of mind, especially in bad weather.

– Cheryl R., ★★★★★

These Y-Beam stakes are the largest and strongest that we have. The 7-inch length and large diameter give them excellent holding power.

These are difficult to bend. They are strong enough to withstand being hammered or pounded with a rock, however the top end may get chewed up so we would still recommend avoiding hammering. If the ground is too firm, turn them sideways and anchor them with a rock.

These are bright blue, which makes them hard to lose.  They have a cord on the end to make it easy to pull them out of the ground.

Designed for the adventurer on the go, our Shoulder Pouch w/ Zipper is the ideal place to store items that you need on the ready, like a small camera, your wallet, a map or your smart phone. The streamlined design carries comfortably on your shoulder, and you will hardly notice them there.

The small exterior mesh pocket can be used to store your small items like lip balm, emergency whistle, or a compass.

These stakes are perfect to me : strong enough, really lightweight and the tiny string is very convenient too.

– Patrick M., ★★★★★

These Sonic Stakes have a "Y-Beam" shape which gives them great holding power in a small package. The three-sided design also gives them good bend resistance for an ultralight stake. The price of aluminum beats titanium or carbon.

These are bright blue, which makes them hard to lose. They have a cord on the end to make it easy to pull them out of the ground.

Never hammer ultralight stakes. While the bend resistance feels very solid, these are able to bend if you put your full weight on them. They can also be bent back reasonably well.

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.

These groundsheets are sized to fit the indicated tents. They are intentionally several inches narrower and shorter so that they don't stick out past the bathtub floor and collect water.

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

Very lightweight and compact. Roll top allows for flexible stowing options. All specs exactly as stated.

– Patrick M., ★★★★★

Trek through damp forests with confidence and dry gear. This is a good size for multiple clothing items, a tent, or a down quilt. This size fits well horizontally in most smaller backpacks.

Need a different size?  Check out the rest of our Dry Bag collection.

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.

– David G., ★★★★★

Be prepared for any mishap and keep your gear in good shape until the end of your thru-hike with this handy sewing repair kit. This kit is perfect for repairing your backpack, clothing, or any other gear items that need a touch up while on trail.

Make sure to order some repair tape for the ultimate field repair kit set up.

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.

If you're looking for a lighter and thinner option, consider our 5'x8' Nylo Pro Groundsheet. For an ultralight option with added durability, our Flat Groundsheets made from Dyneema® Composite Fabric are an excellent choice.

These are absolutely the warmest socks. I take them backpacking to put on when I get into camp and they keep my feet toasty.

– Amy W., ★★★★★

When the campfire just isn’t enough to keep you warm and your feet need a little extra help heating up, Brushtail Possum Socks are an ultralight must have. Made from a combination of New Zealand's brushtail possum fur, and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool, these socks are sure to keep your toes nice and toasty.

These socks are very thick and warm! They are rugged enough to hike in on cold days, and they also make excellent sleep socks. They are great for winter sports as well.

For extra warmth pair these socks with our Brushtail Possum Gloves!

*Socks are non-returnable if they have been removed from the packaging.

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 at the top, and hooks at the bottom to secure it from storm winds.

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

 

Slept great this past weekend using it for the first time. I really like being able to control the firmness of the pillow by using the desired amount of extra clothing I’m carrying. And it’s a great waterproof stuff sack!

– Todd L., ★★★★★

We merged the comfort of a pillow with the utility of a dry sack to form this Medium Pillow. Identical in size to the Medium Dry Bag, our Medium Pillow features soft micro fleece sewn to one half of the interior. Simply flip the dry bag inside out (as shown) and fill it with your spare clothes and gear to use as a pillow!

Need a different size?  Check out the Medium-Plus Pillow or the rest of our Dry Bag collection.

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.

– William C., ★★★★★

When winter arrives, cold nights at camp are no match for our ultralight Brushtail Possum Beanie. Made from a combination of New Zealand's brushtail possum fur, and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool, these beanies will keep your head warm around the campfire and those frigid days on trail.

For extra warmth pair these socks with our Brushtail Possum Socks and Brushtail Possum Gloves!

For a lighter weight 3 season option, check out our Fleece Hat.

Had high expectations of this case given Zpacks pedigree but still exceeded easily - crazy light, simple yet super-intelligent design, incredibly easy to use.

– Mathew B., ★★★★★

Our Airplane Travel Case is a useful addition for the jetsetting adventurer looking to blaze international trails. Slide your backpack inside to protect it when checking your backpack on to a plane. When you arrive, move the airplane case to the inside of your backpack and it doubles as a pack liner.

This size will fit typical backpacks up to about 60-70L with all items removed from the exterior pockets. We also have an XL Airplane Case with extra space for items in the exterior pockets or beside your pack.

 

 

It’s super lightweight, durable and helps me keep my pack organized.

– Andrea B., ★★★★★

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. Refills are also available here.

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

Developed over 3,000 miles on the Continental Divide Trail & tested in the Alps, The Mirage Merino Sun Hoody is engineered to elevate your outdoor experience and be the pinnacle of natural ultralight sun protection and your go to base layer.

We’ve teamed up with Evolved Supply Co to create an expertly designed, ultra-comfortable, and lightweight sun hoody that provides superior sun protection, breathability, and advanced moisture management, ensuring you stay cool even during the most intense outdoor activities.

High quality in construction. Extremely light weight and super durable.

– Wayne S., ★★★★★

This full size roll top dry bag protects the entire internal contents of your backpack. This is a good option if you prefer to use non-waterproof stuff sacks instead of individual dry bags. It is also nice as an extra layer in very wet environments. Multiple sizes are available.

This is also available in a heavier material with a handle for dual-use as a protective Airplane Case for checking your backpack on an airplane.

Get rid of those pesky free loaders with our 1g Tick Remover!  Barely bigger than a quarter, our tick remover gets the job done without adding noticeable weight.

Zpacks Minimalist Trekking Poles are back, featuring stiffer, lighter Carbon Fiber, and lighter hardware resulting in an unmatched weight for a clasp-lock style trekking pole.

Sleek, sturdy clasp lock mechanisms are convenient and reliable, and the removable, interchangeable ultralight baskets are perfectly sized for most trail conditions.

Measurement lines in both English and metric units make finding the right height for your tent or your grip a breeze.

When weight is at a premium, our Minimalist Trekking Poles allow you to navigate the most rugged of terrain without sacrificing performance or function.

 

The Zpacks Deluxe Camp Shoes are built for hikers and backpackers who want a little extra comfort and security once the miles are done for the day. These closed-heel camp shoes give your feet a lightweight, protective layer while still allowing them to breathe after long days on trail.

A 5mm foam sole helps cushion your feet from rocks, roots, and uneven ground around camp, while the optional insole add-on doubles the protection if you want a more slipper-like feel. The closed heel offers a secure fit and keeps crud out, making them ideal for moving around camp, late-night privy trips, hostel stays, and post-hike recovery. 

Compact, collapsible, and easy to pack, the Deluxe Camp Shoes can be worn with or without socks and tucked into almost any backpack pocket when not in use. They offer a lightweight alternative to clunky sandals or waterlogged trail runners, so you can give your feet a break without adding unnecessary bulk to your pack.

An Ultralight Strap-Back Camp Shoe is also available, good for draining water and showering.

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.

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.

– Rachel M., ★★★★★

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.

A down hood can move with your head as you turn side to side in your quilt, unlike an integrated mummy bag hood. You can also wear it around camp, or tuck it inside your camp pillow when you don't need it.

Zpacks Down Hoods are reversible, face whichever color you prefer outward.

The Zpacks Radiant wool T-Shirt is made from the same durable, comfortable, and machine-washable Merino Wool fabric as our popular Mirage Sun Hoody. It has four-way-stretch for a range of motion and a comfortable fit on different body shapes. The Radiant is perfect for a long walk in the woods, a trip to the gym, or as a casual everyday tee. 

Natural wool fiber keeps you cool in the sun, warm when wet, and resists odor better than synthetics. Our material is soft against your skin with none of the typical itchiness that other wool fabrics suffer from. Our premium 96% Merino wool blend is also pre-shrunk and isn't fussy. Throw it in the washer and dryer with your regular laundry. 

The Zpacks Waterproof Trail Notebook is designed to keep your notes from the field secure and dry when backpacking. This 3" x 5" (7.6 cm x 12.7 cm ) notebook lets you jot down your ideas, drawings, or journal as you go, knowing that the waterproof covers and pages will keep your notes protected from the weather.

This spiral-bound notepad lets you easily tear out pages to leave a note for a friend, or discard no longer needed pages to drop weight as you go on a thru-hike.

Pairs great with a Titanium Trial Pen!

This is the lightest and most comfortable day to day t shirt.
