Who we are and what we do...

Backpacking Light is a specialised web site put together by people with a passion for the outdoors, who get out and use the gear that is recommended and sold on this site. Our team is made up of dedicated climbers, hikers, skiers, paddlers, mountain bikers and more. 

Featured products have been selected based on their merits, via extensive field tests in the Australian backcountry by our staff, as well as valuable feedback from our customers.

We have a Retail shop in Melbourne Australia and a specialized sleeping Bag website sleeping-bags.com.au
We stock a huge range of Lightweight Camping, Travel, and Adventure gear. As an established retailer we back up EVERY item we sell and recommend, so you can buy with confidence and peace of mind.

Ask our resident gear freaks about any sort of outdoor gear by sending an email to sales@backpackinglight.com.au and we will give you the best advice and the right price.
