How to Use This List

Note: If you're seeing this section instead of seeing any results, it means there weren't any companies that matched your filter parameters. Give it another go.

This directory is so large that we do not recommend anyone simply scroll through the entire thing. Your finger would get tired before you even reached the Bs.

Instead, we recommend you use the list filters at the top of the page to narrow down the results to the companies that sell the type of ultralight backpacking gear you're looking for. You can filter the results by gear, country, and company type.

Once you've trimmed down the results, you can then browse through the more manageable amount of listings. Find a company that fits your needs and visit their site to see their specific gear offerings.

Shout-outs

A special thanks to programmer extraordinaire and great friend Youssef Biaz for whipping up the JavaScript to make this directory filterable

This directory took many, many hours to put together, but it would not have been nearly as comprehensive had I not had plenty of shoulders to stand on. Here are the resources I used as starting points in my research that were particularly helpful:

• Eric the Black's Directory of Cottage Industry Backpacking Gear Companies
• Section Hiker's Backpacking Manufacturers Directory
• dummey's Ultralight Directory on GitHub
• unicode25a0's List of Cottage Industry/Bespoke Manufacturers on reddit
• Alpine Science's Backpacking Gear Company Directory
• Cottage Gear Makers by Anonymous
• Awesome Companies Mega List by Anonymous
