New GoLite Range

We're pleased to announce that we'll be stocking GoLite soon! GoLite does what it says on the tin really - it's Light! We were particularly struck with the rucksacks as they are so incredibly lightweight. The tents are also pretty cool, so we've also got a small range of those coming for next year. Here's some of the choice products we have arriving soon:

The GoLite Odyssey rucksack is a large, 90-litre bag that weighs in at an incredible 1.59kg! That's almost half the weight of our best-selling 60-litre bag, the Berghaus C71 65+10. The Odyssey has many of the features you'd expect on a large bag, pockets, straps and the like - it's the back system which really saves the weight.

The GoLite Quest pack is a 72-litre all-season pack, following on from the Odyssey but weighing in at 1.45kg.

The GoLite Pursuit pack is a smaller, 50-litre bag ideal for skiing or Alpine use and weighs in at 1.358kg.

Moving on to tents, the GoLite Shangri-La 3 Tent is a lightweight 3-person tent in a teepee style in order to reduce the number of poles required. While not quite as lightweight as a Terra Nova competition tent, it's around £100 cheaper, so represents good value for money. Note that the inner is sold separately though, so it may be a little bit more money than you initially think!
