ZPacks LLC was founded by Joe Valesko 2005. He personally designs and tests all the gear. Joe has thru-hiked over 9,400 miles including the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Te Araroa Trail.

At Lukes Ultralite we specialize in making the lightest possible backpacking gear, by using the latest in materials.

Most of my products are sewn but when necessary or more practical a bonding method is used, like in our cuben fiber products. If you see any product you would like to see in a different size or any custom addition this can more than likely be accommodated via email or calling me personally. Thanks and enjoy your visit to my website.
