About this Event
Join us in-store for an educational session on how to pack for an ultralight hiking trip, perfect for experienced backpackers who want to cut grams or trail-goers who want to learn more about ultralight packing basics. You’ll also be the first to explore the new MEC 2Kilo Project collection – a fully integrated ultralight camp system that weighs under 2kg. Try it out before the collection lands in-stores on April 18.
You’ll learn:
- How to build an ultralight kit for long days on the trail
- What to pack (and what to leave behind) for multi-day trips
- Smart layering and food strategies to reduce weight
- How to optimize your pack for balance and efficiency
- Terrain and route info from people who hike these trails
Plus, we’ll have an in-clinic giveaway where one lucky winner will take home the Charlie 32L UL Pack from the 2Kilo Project collection.
