Ultra-Leicht Solo durch Alaska

Let’s speak a little bit about ultralight gear. In which direction will ultralight gear develop? Even lighter and more stable?

I think UL designs will continue to get smarter, but not necessarily lighter. In fact, I would say most of the weight gains have already been realized – we’re already using the best materials that exist (e.g. carbon fiber, Titanium, 800-fill down, etc) and big weight improvements in them aren’t likely. The improvements we’ll see will be in a product’s durability, functionality, and environmental impact.
