Ultralight outdoor gear
Carefully selected outdoor gear brands – all made in Europe.
Please let us know if any is missing. As a guidance – these brands should be dedicated towards making ultralight gear and not have a single light item. Furthermore – at least 90% of the range should be made on the European continent. So, we will be a bit forgiving if they have one two accessories that come from further asay.
