$50 - Salomon Raid Revo 20 Pack
Salomon made some of the first adventure racing gear ever for the Raid Gauloises adventure races. Ever since the ultralight “Raid” series of gear has been some of the toughest, most feature-filled gear available for any outdoor-person who likes to keep things light.
The Salomon Raid Revo pack fit that mold perfectly. It’s just 10 ounces, but sized at over 1,000 cubic inches with an internal hydration pouch sleeve and an outside flap for a helmet or snow shovel. Grab it now for $49.83 at REI - no direct links so click over and search for item # 734327.
$40 - Primus Micron Stove on Sale at REI
Weighing only a few ounces and using pressurized gas canisters, the Primus Micron stove is an ultralight and simple-to-use camp stove. It’s the latest generation of stoves from Primus and weighs only 3.3 ounces, but still boils a liter of water in just 4 minutes. Even better, the burner can be adjusted from very low to very high heat levels easily.
I have two of the older versions of these stoves (the oldest has a melted, plastic piezo igniter - a problem solved on all newer, metal models) and they’re low maintenance and easy-lighting compared to most liquid fuel stoves. The only drawbacks are at high-temperature and altitude (over 10,000 ft) where the pressurized gas doesn’t burn for very long and that the stove on top of the gas canister isn’t as stable as shorter stoves that sit right onthe ground. Grab one of these if you’re an ultralight backpacker or a hiker who doesn’t like having to tweak and toy with the stove.
No direct-linking to REI items, so click and then search for item # 752821. Sale price at the winter clearance sale is 30% off, just $39.83.
