Kits

A kit is a complete 3-season backpacking setup, one item per category, that we keep priced against live deals. Pick the tier that matches how you like to hike, then swap any item for one of the alternates. Base weight is everything you carry except what you wear and consumables like food, water and fuel. Kits cover carried gear only, not clothing.
