Who said that ultralight has to be ultra-uncomfortable? With the brand-new Sweetwater line of UL packs from Big Agnes, you can now slash the weight of your adventure set-up while simultaneously entering a new world of comfort. Designed to become a part of your anatomy rather than just another pack you sling over your shoulders, the Sweetwater range comes with a running-style strap system for cinching loads down tight around your chest, an anatomically curved frame sheet for a more natural fit, and a perfectly designed hip belt for optimum weight distribution. And the result? You almost forget you’re wearing a pack at all, whether you’re hiking, running or scrambling. This version, the handy Sweetwater UL 43L, weighs just over a kilo and delivers enough room for practically any 3-season adventure — whether you’re enjoying an extended thru-hike of the West Highland Way or simply stomping up Snowdon for sunrise.

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
