About the Ultralight Backpacking Niche

Ultralight backpacking is a style of lightweight backpacking that emphasizes carrying the lightest and least amount of gear. While no technical standards exist, some hikers consider ultralight to mean an initial base weight of less than 4.5 kg. Base weight is the weight of a fully loaded backpack at the start of a trip, excluding worn weight and consumables such as food, water, and fuel. Base weight can be lowered by reducing the weight of individual items of gear, or by choosing not to carry that gear. Ultralight backpacking is most popular among thru-hikers. In the United States, the terms light and ultralight often refer to backpackers who carry gear with a base weight below 6.8 and 4.5 kg respectively. These weights are more easily achievable for smaller hikers. Larger hikers may need to carry clothes, shelters, sleep systems and backpacks that weigh up to 50% more. Source: WikiPedia
