Specialised ultralight gear for a lighter and faster hiking and backpacking experience
29/08/2026
Ultralight Gear is about to get a whole lot bigger. We’re temporarily closing our Alexandria store from Monday while we expand into the space next door.
The good news? It’s business as usual online. You can still shop online, place orders and choose Click & Collect while the store is closed.
We’ll keep you posted on the expansion and let you know as soon as we’re ready to welcome you into the new space.
When you get name dropped in a 5⭐️ review… suddenly you’re the main character 😂
Fastpacking is all about finding the sweet spot between moving fast and packing smart, and Dan has spent plenty of time refining his setup.
In this episode of The Kit Check, he shares the gear he takes on fastpacking trips, what he prioritises when every gram counts, and the items that have earned a permanent place in his pack.
If you've ever wondered how a fastpacking kit differs from a traditional hiking setup, this is a great place to start.

We asked the team for their most controversial hiking hot takes… and they didn’t hold back!
Some might agree, some might disagree… but we want to hear yours 👀
What’s your biggest hiking hot take? 👇
What a night! 🙌
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our ON Running Wear Test. It was awesome seeing so many of you put the Cloudultra and Cloudultra Pro through their paces before hanging around for post-run drinks and plenty of trail chat.
Thanks to everyone who came along and to the ON Running team for making it happen. See you at the next one!
There's a reason you see this combo everywhere on trail. ⛰️
The Cnoc Vecto makes collecting water ridiculously easy, and when you pair it with the Sawyer Squeeze, you've got a lightweight filtration system that's simple, reliable and built for big days out.
We're kicking off our new series, The Kit Check, with Jeremy as he gets ready to take on the Pacific Crest Trail.
In this episode, Jeremy walks us through the gear he'll be carrying for one of the world's most iconic thru-hikes, sharing the items he trusts, why they've earned a place in his pack, and the setup he'll be relying on for the months ahead.
Whether you're planning your own long-distance adventure or just love talking gear, there's plenty to take away from this one.
