Is this the world's lightest day-sac, plus lots more lightness from Sea To Summit.
Just a quick heads-up on a couple of
neat lightweight bags
from a brand we've not come across before called
Sea to Summit - the
co-founder of the company was Tim Macartney-Snape, the first person to
make a continuous journey on foot from sea level to the summit of
Everest.
Anyway, the brand makes some really nice lightweight outdoor equipment
including incredibly light dry bags made from Ultra-Sil, a Siliconised
Cordura fabric with a PU coating for complete waterproofing and a
roll-top closure.
The bags are available in seven sizes from 1 litre to 35 litres and
weigh between 20 and 65 grammes and yes, you did read that correctly.
The
8-litre bag
pictured weighs a mere
30
grammes and retails for £8.99. Ideal for keeping
things light and dry at the same time.
Also made from the same Ultra-Sil fabric is an Ultra-Sil pack liner and
our favourite thing, this bonkers light fold-away
20-litre day sac
which weighs a ridiculous
68
grammes and packs down into a package so small you could
just about carry it on your key ring. Retail price is £17.99,
ideal as a travel day pack or for emergency shopping or, at a push, a
mega-lightweight summit pack.
Lots more besides including our favourite name of the week, the
iPood! a lightweight
trowel for outdoor use. Isn't there an app for that? No, we're not
making it up.
And that's just scratching the surface, there's also a whole range of
sleeping bag liners and a neat all-in-one
Wilderness Wash
that's an ultra-concentrated cleaner you can use as a body wash,
shampoo, dish detergent and to wash clothes.
