Lightweight

The Flextail Zero 2.0 takes the benchmark-setting Zero pump to the next level with a lighter build that weighs an even ounce, increased output and an improved battery. It's everything backcountry adventurers loved about the original, just better.

One of the lightest teardrops pulled by cars, the Kleox trailer debuted with a slightly unconventional form three years ago. Now it transforms into a more traditional teardrop that still weighs under 500 lb and prices in well below similar trailers.

Opinel knives are an ageless classic of the folding knife market. This year, though, they've gotten a new twist ... or lack thereof. The Néo6 knife carries the same sleek, timeless look but trades out the locking blade for a non-locking slip joint.

One of the pioneers of the portable camping stove has released its lightest stove ever. The new Primus Micron III weighs a flat 2 oz and folds so small it can nest in your open palm. Screw it atop a gas canister and it fires out 2,600 watts of flame.

Ovrlnd Campers' latest launch isn't a product but an entire option category. The new "Chubby" flares out each of its truck camping toppers beyond the width of the pickup bed, making space for potential east-to-west sleeping and more interior volume.

Zpacks offers one of the world's lightest lineups of backpacking tents. Its new Duplex Pro combines that same ultralight construction with a comfortable build that adapts to each backcountry explorer to offer more personalized performance per pound.

Just larger than a typical human thumb, the new APO5C pocket pump dips below the 1-oz mark. Thanks to its carbon fiber construction, it's nearly half an ounce lighter than the last "lighter than light" miniature pump we looked at.

Folding bike veteran Dahon has rolled out a new ebike that lives up to its K-Feather moniker. Tipping the scales at around 26 lb, it should be a fairly easy heft into the train compartment or car trunk between commutes.

The new Hyperlite Bug Bivy is about as light as a full-body outdoor shelter gets, packing down to water bottle size on long journeys. At camp, it provides full protection from the biting bugs that would otherwise make the entire trip miserable.

Durston Gear follows up its value-packed X-Dome 1+ ultralight backpacking tent with the new X-Dome 2, adding full two-person sizing at a minimal weight penalty. The X-Dome 2 also packs storm-shedding stability for everything up to snow squalls.

Hyperlite Mountain Gear becomes the latest ultralight gear maker to add a freestanding tent to its ultralight backpacking shelter lineup. The all-new Crosspeak 2 stands tall amongst the brand's offerings as a dome tent that hovers near an even 2 lb.

Following up on its ultralight Stealth pickup camper, Peak Performance is pushing the envelope yet again with the Nest, an equally impressive ultralight camper that combines hard walls with a super-flexible modular floor plan.
