Handmade, Lightweight Gear

In 2022 we were looking to upgrade our tramping gear, and discovered that there are very few affordable ultralight pieces of kit available in New Zealand. So, we thought – “what can we do to solve this?”, and set about making our own.

With the absence of affordable ultralight gear for particular products in NZ, we’ve put together a few items of our own that we use every time we go tramping, and that we think you might use too.

  • Pack Covers (Rain Covers)
  • Stuff Sacks (the drawstring type)
  • Ultralight Raincoat
  • Lightweight Hut Trousers

Note: there’s currently a waitlist for many of our products of approximately 3 weeks – depending on other work and fabric availability this might vary from 3 days to 4 weeks. When you place your order we’ll send an email with an ETA and keep you in the loop at all times.

Disclaimer: Ultralight gear is inherently more delicate than traditional heavier equipment due to the lighter and lower strength of the fabrics used. By purchasing BUFFA Outdoors products you acknowledge this.
