“There are some great quilt makers out there, and I own a few. But when you’re ready to go from awesome to holy sh*t!, you choose Katabatic Gear.” – T Willard, theTrek.co

Ultralight gear will make your outdoor adventures memorable for the right reasons.

The movement toward ultralight backpacking is growing, and we’re glad you’re joining us. Maybe you’re planning a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and need to cover maximum miles. Perhaps you want to continue backpacking into your golden years without your joints and muscles lecturing you along the way. Whatever your reason for reducing pack weight, we know you’ll be happy with the change.

So, why choose Katabatic Gear over all the other lightweight backpacking gear companies out there? Because we were founded on the premise that you should not have to sacrifice function, comfort or design to use ultralight backpacking gear.   In fact, we believe your lightweight gear should function better than its traditional counterpart.

Years ago, as a backpacker switching to ultralight gear, our founder was dissatisfied with the lightweight gear that was available to him on the market. It seemed like most lightweight backpacking and hiking gear addressed weight reduction by stripping away features. This often resulted in gear that was light, but didn’t function well. He had ideas which he thought could solve many of the issues that seemed inherent in ultralight backpacking gear. Through innovative, thoughtful design and the use of cutting edge materials, Katabatic has aimed to create backpacking and hiking gear that functions better than traditional gear, at significantly lighter weights. We believe that features such as our patented quilt attachment system, down filled collars, and differential cut (to name a few) make our backpacking quilts the best you can find. The 30°F hovers just over a pound, and even our 5°F weighs less than two. Most of our backpacks weigh in around 2 pounds, yet offer features like a supportive frame, comfortable hipbelt with roomy pockets, and side pockets you can reach without taking your pack off. Combine features like these with our incredibly detailed and precise manufacturing standards, and the result is gear that is going to exceed your expectations and last for years to come.

Whether you’re considering one of our award winning flagship models like the Palisade mummy-style backpacking quilt, or our highly versatile Flex series of blanket style sleeping bags, we are confident that you’ll be well rested for your next day’s adventure. And we’re honored you’re considering Katabatic Gear.
