  • Wild camping

    Pitch light, sleep sound. Pegs that bite, guylines that hold, and a 50g mat for wherever you end up.

  • Thru-hikes & big miles

    By day three of a long hike, every gram matters. Full guyline kits and pegs at minimal weights.

  • Better carbon, smaller pegs

    Most carbon pegs use pultruded carbon because it’s easier to manufacture at scale. We use more expensive woven carbon instead, giving our pegs greater flex under load and making them far less prone to snapping in high winds.

  • Honest weights

    Our 50g foam mat is properly 50g, not "50g if you don't count the bit we forgot." Every weight we list is the real one, because if you're counting grams, so are we.

  • Ultralight from the bottom up

    "Ultralight" gets slapped on 1.4kg tents. We start where the weight actually hides: pegs, cord and mats, because if you want a light pack, every bit matters. We cant wait to move into the market of bigger items, but for now, lets get the small stuff done right.

Two pals who got a bit too into it

We met at school, got into hiking during covid, started weighing things, then started weighing each other's things. Then came MYOG, because the gear we wanted either wasn't sold in the UK or cost stupid money.

We made some bad gear. We made some alright gear. Eventually we made stuff we actually wanted to keep using. That's ULgear: no grand plan, tested on real UK trails, usually wherever in Scotland we've got a free weekend.
