“Lighter. Stronger. Better. It’s hard to argue the Overland 60 hasn’t achieved that and then some.”
largely influenced by its substantial thru-hiking community, the trend to ultralight gear has been going strong for some years now. Australia has been slow to follow suit, in part due to gear conservatism here, and in part due to our spiky, hard vegetation that can rip insubstantial gear to shreds. Tassie, especially, can hard time.
