Located in Asheville, North Carolina, just off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Lightweight and Ultra-lightweight backpacking has become very popular over the last several years. This has become possible through the use of modern synthetic fabrics and other materials along with innovative design. Dual or multiple use items have also allowed backpackers to reduce their pack weight. A lower pack weight often increases the likelihood of success and enjoyment on a backpacking trip.

Hey everyone! Lukes Ultralite has added quite a lineup of new gear the past few months.

With the recent addition of Luke’s Ultralite to OutdoorTrailGear I found it fitting to add this unboxing video & first impression of Luke’s silnylon rain shell written by Chad at Stick’s Blog. Thank’s to Chad for a great detailed overview of this product!
