Pac-Lit.com exists to provide the backcountry explorer and ultralight backpacking enthusiast with a straight-forward resource for all things ultralight. From Granite Gear's Appalachian-proven Vapor Trail backpack to Marmot's Hydrogen sleeping bag that won Backpacker's Editor's Choice Gold Award in 2008. We teamed up with Amazon.com and some of today's top ultralight backpacking retailers to create a site that can address all your backcountry needs and introduce you to innovative, new ultralight backpacking gear.



The Big Three
Base Pack Weight
- combined weight of shelter, sleeping bag, and backpack (minus consumables); < 10lbs

Ultralight Shelter Shelter
Ultralight shelters take many forms: tarp, tarp-tent, bivy, or single-wall tent with EPIC or silicone-impregnated nylon (SilNyl) constructon. With today's fabrics and manufacturing practices, finding a quality backpacking ultralight shelter under 3lbs is a breeze.
Ultralight Sleeping Bag Sleeping Bag
Do your research. Look for ultralight sleeping bags with 1/2 to 3/4 zippers, rely on a pad for underside insulation, and are ultra-compressible. Down or synthetic? Opinion ... down sleeping bags more adequately meets the weight, compressibility, and durability standards required of a piece of integrated ultralight backpacking gear. The downside ... the price. Ultimately, your anticipated climate and wallet will have to make the decision.
Ultralight Backpack Backpack
Fit is everything. Do your homework and make an informed decision before you buy. A little research upfront will pay big dividends on the trail. Evaluate your capacity needs based on hike length and climate. Consider a backpack that doesn't have a lid/fanny pack and you can usually get by without daisy chains and exterior pockets.
