Built for Lightweight Backpacking
Rikkar is built for hikers who value carrying less without giving up the equipment they rely on. We focus on ultralight and lightweight gear for everything from weekend backpacking trips to longer adventures in the White Mountains and beyond.
If you’re new to ultralight backpacking, we can help you understand the tradeoffs between different gear options and put together a setup that fits the way you actually hike. If you’re already experienced with lightweight gear, stop by to check out new equipment, compare products, or fill a gap in your kit.
