Best New Ultralight Gear 2025

Tracking New Ultralight Gear Releases
We love testing out new ultralight gear, and here we’ll catalog our favorite new releases to help keep you in the know on prominent industry developments. This list will never be complete, but we’ll strive to update it frequently. Styles that were released more than a year ago will be removed as they age out. If you have a suggestion, please drop us a line in the comments.

We’ve handpicked this assortment of high-performance new ultralight gear to highlight major releases in the year thus far, based largely on our own preferences, and perception of marketplace significance. We will note styles here before testing them, and any analysis is based largely on spec. Please note that the emphasis is on prominent releases. This is not a catalog of every new piece of ultralight gear from every brand or custom designer. Lastly, it is not claiming to highlight strictly best-in-class equipment. For coverage of existing styles, please refer to our buyer’s guides and gear lists.
