The main difference between ultralight and conventional backpacking lies in the weight of the load carried and the philosophy behind it. Ultralight backpacking emphasizes carrying gears and supplies with as little weight as possible, usually with a base weight of under 9 lbs (around 4.5 kg). Meanwhile, conventional backpacking tends to focus less on load weight and may have a base weight above 30 lbs (around 13.6 kg) for the same gears. # Cost: Ultralight gears are often more expensive because it uses lighter materials and advanced technology such as dyneema or cuben fiber. # Durability: Ultralight gears may be less durable due to thinner and lighter materials. # Camping comfortability: Lighter gears are often less comfortable than heavier and bulkier conventional gears. # Backpack capacity: The ultralight approach also often uses multifunctional equipment to reduce the number of items carried, allowing for smaller backpacks, such as 20 - 40 liters, compared to conventional backpack sizes of 50 - 60 liters. This makes traveling more comfortable and reduces fatigue, especially when climbing mountains or traveling long distances. |
