Haglofs unveils lightest hiking kit to date
Swedish outdoor brand Haglofs has launched its lightest hiking kit to date under its Less Is More (LIM) concept.

The LIM pants, a mid layer, a shell jacket, a pair of shoes and a backpack with a sleeping bag inside together do not add up to more than 1,492 grams.

The trousers have built-in UV protection (UPF 30) and lightweight, plastic buttons. The material has a double-weave construction which creates room for air and increases comfort in warm  environments.

Haglofs’ LIM shoes were the first joint development between ASICS and Hagofs. LIM LOW, at 195 grams, is its lightest model and has several ASICS technologies, such as Solyte, GELand AHAR+. The shoe’s soft heel counter makes it easy to pack.

The company will be showing the developments at Germany-based OutDoor Friedrichshafen, July 10 to 13.
