The world's lightest hiking mat.
Designed for serious ultralight backpackers, the ULfoam is an exceptionally lightweight closed-cell foam sleeping mat built for those who count grams properly.
Made in the UK from high-performance closed-cell foam, it delivers reliable ground insulation while remaining impressively durable and fully water-resistant. No moisture ingress, no fuss.
At just 50g, it punches well above its weight. It takes the sting out of rocky trailsides, forest floors, and alpine turf, while the textured surface improves grip against both clothing and ground to prevent midnight sliding.
Use it on its own in summer, pair it with an inflatable mat for extra insulation and puncture protection, or keep it handy as a sit pad around camp. It rolls down neatly and disappears into your pack without drama.
A small piece of kit that earns its place every single trip.
Why hikers switch to ULgear
Light where it counts. Honest where it matters.
The ULgear way
- Honest weights — the listed weight is the weighed weight
- Better materials, sized smaller and lighter
- Small-batch made in Scotland
- Field-tested on real UK trails
Typical outdoor gear
- "Marketing" weights, quietly rounded down
- Cheaper materials made big and chunky to survive
- Mass-produced, never actually weighed
- Tested in a spreadsheet

Made by two pals who got a bit too into it
ULgear started with two of us from West Lothian weighing our kit, then each other's, then making the gear we couldn't buy. Small batches, honest weights, tested wherever in Scotland we've got a free weekend.
You should buy the product, not the brand.
