The First Ultralight Backpack
It all started with the urge to get as light possible, to hike as fast as possible. Before attempting the Welsh 3000s, I designed and built my first ‘proper’ pack. It was 30L fastpack which had a unique fit and a set of features aimed specifically for summer overnight camping in the UK.
This pack became my playground for learning the ropes of pack building, designing outdoor equipment and sewing together functional products.
