About Hyperlite Mountain Gear

Hyperlite Mountain Gear designs and manufactures lightweight backpacking equipment, including backpacks, tents and shelters, sleeping quilts and bags, and related accessories, made primarily from Dyneema Composite Fabrics. The brand serves backpackers, thru-hikers, fastpackers, backcountry skiers, bikepackers and other outdoor pursuits that call for durable but low-weight gear. Products are organised by activity and by pack volume, and the company also offers a quiz tool to help customers choose a suitable pack.

The brand sells directly to consumers through its own website, offering free US shipping over a set order value, alongside editorial content on gear philosophy, material science and field use. Hyperlite Mountain Gear began by working with Dyneema Composite Fabrics, then known as Cuben Fiber, to build packs and shelters, and has since expanded its range to include tents, sleep systems and organisational accessories. Production has grown from its original small-scale operation to include a manufacturing partnership in Mexico, established in 2020.
