A lightweight pack should be the result, not the focus.

"Ultralight" is not about minimizing weight.

It's about finding the balance that lets you explore comfortably and efficiently.

We design shelters and packs in Montana, and sew most of them here too.

1P Bug Shelter pitched under a tarp in a pine forest

The best bug shelter I've used

This is far and away the best bug shelter or bivy I have used. The space inside is very roomy for such an incredibly light shelter... Overall this is one of my favourite pieces of kit.

Beautifully constructed

This pack is beautifully constructed. I'm really impressed with the craftsmanship... the load stabilizers really work to keep the pack balanced.

1P Cirriform Tarp pitched at a camp in a pine forest

20 nights under the Cirriform

I've used this tarp, paired with the bug shelter, for around 20 nights now... I stayed very dry when it rained an inch in 5 hours, and it held up to gusts of up to 40mph.

YMG really nailed the design

I think YMG really nailed the design with this one... The offset pole design provides easy access and lots of peak height. This adds comfort when spending long hours in the tent.
