One of the most important aspects of comfort when it comes to backpacking is weight. Carry less and chances are you’ll be happier.
No matter how you choose to cut down on weight — buy lighter gear, bring less stuff, etc. — one of the biggest ways to slice the ounces is to invest in a lightweight pack. ULA packs are a great option: They’re affordable, and they’re still sturdy. Though the company doesn’t have the slickest marketing, its products are worth every penny.
ULA offers several pack options for lightweight backpacking. Each is designed to serve a slightly different purpose; if you’re looking at carrying more weight on a longer trip, for example, you’ll want a bigger pack than a simple weekender.
The packs are straightforward, with important details like external waterbottle pockets and hip belt pockets just a few of the important details ULA included in the designs. And most of the packs ship free to U.S. addresses.
The packs are well designed, maximizing comfort and sturdiness while lowering weight as much as possible. The online sizing system is helpful for determining the perfect fit, and the product descriptions will help you match your activity level to the pack.
