Just another product that Litesmith found that you don’t have to. (I had to disassemble my Victorinox Classic Swiss Army Knife to fix and actually weighed each part and was surprised). Easier to use than foldout “knife" scissors and actually lighter. Posted by Shelley Chacon on 29th Nov 2020Īnd I really like the phrase “actually-useful scissors”. The point is very sharp, be careful to keep them covered when not in use.Įxcellent. Keep these in my medkit, got plenty of use cutting tape for my feet. Very light weight scissors great for the trail first aid kit.

Handle Color: Lemon Yellow, Lime Green, or Can't Lose Pink Scissors without Safety Cover: 0.12 oz (3.3 g) Scissors with Safety Cover: 0.17 oz (4.7 g) Scissors without Safety Cover: 2.35 x 1.7 x 0.18 in. Scissors with Safety Cover: 2.5 x 1.7 x 0.32 in. These are the smallest, lightest, actually-useful scissors we’ve found.Īdd a pair to your ditty bag and be confident you’ll be ready when the need arises. The finger holes add control and comfort to also easily cut cordage, repair gear, open food packages, and perform first aid. Micro Scissors go beyond just cutting your nails, unlike SAK scissors. The cover is tethered to the handle so you’ll never lose it, but it can be removed if you want to save even more weight. A silicone safety cover keeps the sharp tips from stabbing you and your gear. The finger holes are oversized and elongated for use with or without thin gloves. The precision-ground stainless steel blades start sharp and stay sharp. And at just 0.17 oz (4.7 g), they’re definitely worth their weight.
You’ll find lots of backcountry uses where scissors perform better than a knife and make the job easier. Litesmith also have some other really neat gear, such as orifice reducers (you will have to click on that one):, Tottles:, Alien Cord Winders (Yes!):, Whoopies Slings, etc.Micro Scissors are super small, super light, and super safe. When you reach the bottom, tuck the roll into the integrated pouch. Starting at the top with the dirty side in, roll the poles inside the seat. The poles are shockcorded and connected in an assembly so they’re easy to pack without loosing any pieces. Simply remove the poles from the seat and fold them in half. When its time to pack up, the chair folds into a compact, self-contained package. To make adjustments, just reach back and grab the poles, lean forward a little, and move them to a better position. Large diameter rubber feet keep the poles from sinking into the ground. Next you sit on the wide end of the seat on the ground with the poles under the fabric. Then prop up the poles behind you and lean back on the chair.
First you insert the poles in the reinforced pockets on the chair back, crossing them in an X pattern. The design is super simple but it takes a little getting used to because unlike most chairs, this one doesn’t stand on its own. Heck, you could even take it with you to the park or outdoor concert. The QwikBack UL Chair is made of durable materials – ripstop nylon seat and twill carbon fiber poles – for years of backcountry enjoyment.
Well, nothing, but after a long day of hiking or even at a lunch stop, something comfortable to lean back on just makes life more enjoyable. At just 2.65 oz (75 g), it’s hard to leave at home. The QwikBack™ UL Chair changed our thinking and made backpacking more relaxing. But most are too heavy and bulky to even consider carrying as a luxury item. Folds into a compact, self-contained packageĪfter several days of hiking, one thing we miss in the backcountry is a chair.US$59.95 (September 2017) It can be coupled with a closed cell foam pad for extra comfort. I imagine you could substitute bush sticks for the carbon fibre rods to further reduce the weight. I don’t think it would be as comfy as the Big Agnes Cyclone, (which I strongly recommend) but it is less than half the weight, so might be an option: Whichever, this is an interesting idea for an ultralight chair for the trail if you are not handy enough to make your own. I don’t know which came first, the ‘Jerry Chair’ I posted about here or this 75 gram one. South Coast Track (Fiordland) Menu Toggle.
