RAB MYTHIC ULTRA 180

If you’ve ever considered cutting the handle off your toothbrush to save valuable grams in pack weight, this is the only sleeping bag for you. Weighing in at an impossibly light 400g (pack size 32x16cm), the Mythic Ultra 180 is the best bag you can get for toastiness on the go. £550 / rab.equipment

LIFESTRAW PEAK SERIES 650ML

When you’re deep in the wilderness, clean water is a must – but even the most idyllic mountain stream can contain nasties. This silicone bottle and filter is the perfect solution: seriously clever and potentially lifesaving tech that will clean up to 2000L of water before the filter needs replacing. $33 / lifestraw.com

THERM-A-REST NEOAIR UBERLITE

At 250g this is the lightest full-length insulated sleeping pad available, and it still manages 6.5cm of blissfully bump-free cushioning. It takes about 30 seconds to inflate using the one-way valve and rolls up to about the size of a beer can. £190 / thermarest.com

PRIMUS LITE+

This packable and lightweight 500ml aluminium stove system is ideal for on-the-trail brews and rehydrating camp food such as instant noodles. Impressively, the burner will bring half a litre of water to boil in under three minutes, which also makes it invaluable for festival coffee. £130 / primusequipment.com

VANGO F10 NEON UL 1

Carrying your own accommodation is hard work – ask any snail – but there are solutions. This is the world’s lightest pole tent, weighing just 460g. OK, it’s tiny, and we wouldn’t have guests over, but the carbon poles help maximise space and it packs away to the size of a water bottle. £455 / vango.co.uk

SNOW PEAK TITANIUM SPORK

Premium Japanese outdoor brand Snow Peak makes some of the most desirable camping equipment on the planet. Sadly, much of it is beyond the budget of most mortals, but their titanium cookware, mugs and particularly this spork are superb value, very light (16g) and built to last. £9 / snowpeak.co.uk
