BotSpot will hold a wide range of bottle sizes, including quart and liter bottles, yet it won't bounce or wobble around, even with a full load of water. Removal and replacement of your bottle is quick and easy, too, so now you can drink freely without having to stop and remove your backpack to get at those oh-so-pesky side pockets!

LevaGaiterultralight lanyardless scree gaiter 

LEVITATION
(FOR GAITER WEARING MORTALS)

Scree gaiters, ankle gaiters, shorties... Call them what we may, these low-rise foot defenders are just plain handy to have around, especially for the ultralight crowd whose low-cut running and trail shoes need all the defending they can get. But while most scree gaiters are capable of keeping out debris, mud, and grit, most are also overbuilt, poorly ventilated, or otherwise anathema to the fast & light set. And even the lighter choices almost always rely on instep lanyards to keep the gaiter down over the shoe's opening - nylon or even Spectra cords that invariably fray and fail over the course of miles.

Simblissity is now offering an all new type of ultralight scree gaiter that will stay in place, down over the opening of a low-cut shoe, without the need for an instep cord. No fray-prone lanyards required! And no heel velcro or glue. Our gaiters won't rise up in rebellion because they're designed to fit rather than fight. They won't fall down either - not off the heel, not down the ankle. And whether your dogs are sized like Bigfoot or a newborn shitzu, Simblissity's LevaGaiter is designed to accommodate them both.

LevaGaiter features:

  • Rugged, breathable 4-way stretch Tweave Durastretch® construction
  • Unique "floating" hook & loop closure design with stay-put lace hook
  • Articulated shape stays in place without a lanyard or heel velcro
  • Can be put on and taken off without removing your shoes
  • Accommodates most sizes & styles of low-top trail footwear
  • Weight per pair: 1.8 ounces (52 grams)

"I haven't been a gaiter fan for a number of years, as they just didn't seem worth the trouble. But your gaiters have changed my mind, and they'll be going on most of my trips from now on." - Glen Van Peski, founder Gossamer Gear

UnSlack Pack

Put your Backpack's Shoulder Straps
to Work for You!

Got a lightweight trail camera? Ever find yourself missing those Kodak moments because your trusty point & shoot isn't at your fingertips? Or maybe you, too, bought one of those "custom fit" camera cases, only to have the thing slop around on your backpack's hipbelt while you walk. Well now you can say so-long to compromised mobility, as you increase utility and convenience all the while. Say hello to UnSlack Pack: a streamlined, zero-motion, jiggle-free, front-mounted carry system that weighs a mere 0.8 of an ounce. Also securely holds items such as a GPS unit, map, energy bar, bicycle water bottle, sunglasses, or slackpacker's irritating cellphone!

The Original Ultralight Sport-Utility Wallet

8 grams LIGHT!

This ain't no duct tape wallet quackery! Introducing the revolutionary LiteFOLD line of ultralight, sport-utility wallets. Made of the latest ultralight yet durable fabrics, LiteFOLD wallets are absolutely the lightest, smallest, least bulky, and most functional way to carry cash, credit cards, and personal identification, whether on the trail, for sports or travel, or around town. With external utility pockets, a variety of cool color choices, the ability to store and organize small essentials, and convertible bi-fold / tri-fold construction, LiteFOLDs also do a lot more than traditional billfolds. And they're simblissfully simple to use! Try one and you may never go back to using your old bulky wallet again.

"This neat little wallet is made from silicone-coated nylon, and I ordered it online from Brett at simbissity.net. It has a lanyard, so when I'm in town, I can wear it around my neck under my shirt (my shorts don't have pockets). Yes, I suppose I could've just used a Ziploc® bag or something, but this is much cooler, and the green color matches my backpack!" - 2005 PCT thru-hiker Pete Behmer
