Lighterpack: Free Online Packing List Organizer

Create a custom packing list for backpackers and travelers, add and organize gear, track weight, and share with others - all in one simple and intuitive tool.

What is Lighterpack?

Lighterpack is a popular free website and app used for organizing and sharing ultralight backpacking gear lists online. It allows backpackers to itemize their backpacking clothing, toiletries, and gear with details like item names, weights, quantities, and prices.

One of the key features of Lighterpack is that it provides users with a continuously updated base weight calculation, which is the total weight of all carried gear excluding food and water. This allows backpackers to analyze their big three items - backpack, shelter, and sleep system - and make adjustments to reduce pack weight.

The site has helpful features for sharing gear lists and getting feedback from the ultralight backpacking community. Users can publish their lighterpacks publicly for others to reference or comment on gear selections and weights. There is also a database of recommended lightweight gear that users can browse.

Lighterpack comes with flexible printing options for packing lists. Users can print just the names and weights of items, details like quantities and prices, or a graphical view. This allows the lists to be used as quick references on the trail.

With its emphasis on weight savings and trip customization, Lighterpack is hugely popular in ultralight backpacking circles. It makes it simple for users to analyze their total carried weights and make incremental adjustments towards lighter pack weights.
