Makes sense until it’s taken to an extreme, ie leaving your toothbrush at home and just rubbing your teeth with a spare sock. Carrying less weight is more comfortable while hiking.

It gets worse
Hammock are comfy and solve a lot of issues (while introducing a few unique one). They’re perfect for a lot of environments.
Those shirts are purposefully ugly and overpriced. They are quite literally “expressive of exaggerated stature” as a hiker; the textbook definition of pretentious.
Don't get me wrong.
I love hammocks.
They're very cozy and practical and light weight.
But there is definitely a pretentious community/cult around them.
300 dollars for an underquilt?
I just made a diy one, slap a mylar tarp/blanket on it for winter, and call it a day.
I'm going to invest in lighter fluid hand warmers for hammock camping soon.
Being expensive doesn’t make something pretentious, and all quality down sleeping bags and quilts (whether they’re purposefully built as under quilts or not) are around the same price point. Comparing that to a $97 button down shirt is a pretty big stretch.
>a Mylar blanket hanging under a hammock is good enough for winter
Sure it is, Anon.
Sure it is.
>a mylar blanket isn’t enough >”it is when you build a fire under your hammock. Haha check mate!”
This fricking board, I swear.
Also what the frick do you do if you need to take a leak?

It's not enough on its own. I tie it to an underquilt I diy'ed.
When I finally wake up to piss, the sun is starting to rise so I make tea and breakfast.
Why are you upset OP? Can you tell us how the shirt hurt you?
Why the frick do they call it the fruit of a loom when talking about cotton but there is no fricking Loom in the logo.

Ultralight is a marketing term to sell morons a pack for 2x the price that is only 10% lighter or stupid shirts that fall apart after two seasons.
Love my Lowe Alpine peak attack, I'm after one bigger but I have to wait till I find one second hand because the new RAB owned ones don't look as good. The Sting looks great but too big for me, Lowe are the Toyotas of backpacks.

Sting is good though. It has a 60l base, and 2 10l bags that can attach to molle and detach to form a smaller day pack.
It's modularity is somthing I value.
I attached a molle first aid kit to the outside.
Probably will have munition satchels striped if I go hunting with it.
Low alpine sting is a 7lb rucksack you fish faced rat brain. Did you bother even looking it up? Dude is trolling or there is another version I don't give a shit about digging around for enough to say it isn't the rucksack.
I also don't know how much your gay Osprey Exos cost 10 years ago so, yeah, you morons playing "gotcha" are just that: morons.
Try again--but with less obvious moronation this time.

What's wrong with a Dutch sting?
It cost a hundred bucks and has everything I want out of pack.
80L, molle, compartments for axes, saws and firearms, a pouch for a water bladder, a detachable day pack for hiking.
Why do you hate fun?

I never said anything about a Low Alpine Sting.
And the Exos has always been around the same price as other major brands. I think it was just under $200.

>2.5lbs isn’t light
I never claimed it was light… but it is compared to the other Anons 7lb pack.
You’ve lost the plot Anon. You made an outrageous claim and can’t back it up. Just post an example.

I posted my pack and it doesn’t fit your description but might be marketed as ultralight. Compared to the same manufacturers Packa is about 30% lighter and 2/3 the price.
Should I ask again for examples of these packs you were talking about that are only 10% lighter and 2x the price, or will you just keep saying I’m wrong without bringing anything to the conversation or using your words like an adult?
These shirts are up there with Melanzana. All of the plebs know about Patagonia and North Face, but they don’t know about the 7 month wait time for a fricking hoodie.

Please post examples of packs marketed as “ultralight” that are only 10% lighter but 2x the price of a more typical, comparable pack.
Show me what pack you currently use and I'll explain why you're moronic.
I'm not going to waste my time satisfying a general question from an idiot who's going to bombard me with pilpul.
I want to make it specific to you.
