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.

The lightest toothbrush on trail. The lighter-than-a-gummy-bear Trailbrush attaches to the hole found on most titanium spoons and sporks, multi-purposing the handle and reducing the weight of your toothbrush. It fits our titanium long-handle spoon, medium-handle spoon, or short-handle spoon. 

The Trailbrush weighs less than a US Penny! 

*Spoon not included.*

BONUS: Includes a free Tiny 5g Tube of Colgate Toothpaste

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.

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.
