Poncho UL Tarp

For those willing to accept compromises in the pursuit of a low pack weight, the Poncho UL Tarp provides a reasonably durable, value option for rain gear, pack cover, and shelter—with a few important caveats. The Poncho UL Tarp is at its best as rain wear, pack cover, and shelter in more moderate conditions, but high winds or sustained heavy rain can make the user vulnerable to the elements. However, due to its versatility, it is an ideal multi-use item for day packs, emergency bags, etc. What… Full review

Tent UL 3

Very light tent rated to three people. Easy to pitch and take down. Great for backpacking with two people. Recommended. When my daughter and I were looking for a tent to start section hiking the AT, we ran into some common problems—space (footprint), weight, and price. We had been to several known backpacking supply stores and couldn't find anything that met our needs in all three areas. I saw a story online about how My Trail Co. had bought out one of the old ultra light brands and had redesigned… Full review

Down Light Hooded Jacket

My Trail has got a winner with this affordable, warm, down jacket. Perfect balance is achieved, using quality materials at a "WOW" price point.

My Trail Co may be a new name to the industry, however the company has had a previous life, known as GoLite. My Trail has been around since 2016, basing their… Full review

Backpack Light 50L

My Trail Co. has redesigned the Jam series backpack from the GoLite days, with improvements to its lightweight and frameless design. This water-resistant backpack is designed for backpackers where low pack weight is a priority. When it comes to finding the right backpack, it appears there is never an easy choice with all of the available options in today's market. In 2016, GoLite had successfully ‘reloaded’ as My Trail Co, basing their operations out of Denver, Colorado. My Trail Co has resurrected… Full review

Storm UL Jacket

My Trail's Storm UL Jacket is a waterproof and breathable shell that gives you a lot for a budget price. With two low zippered pockets, an adjustable hood and cuffs, and armpit zips, it has some features you don't see on a rain shell that retails for under $100. The jacket has an athletic cut that only allows for a lightweight layer underneath it; it is probably a jacket best suited for people with a medium to slender build. Lighter jackets like this can present issues if you expect to be off-trail… Full review
