About Us
Designed in Colorado. Built for the Long Trail.
LITE WERKS started with a simple idea: hiking should feel lighter-on your back and on the planet. We design our gear in Colorado and then trail test it from the Colorado backcountry to the long trails where steep climbs, rocky paths and unpredictable weather demand the best from every piece of gear we make.
Ultralight, Not Underbuilt.
Every LITE WERKS product is crafted with premium ultralight materials, streamlined design choices and world class construction techniques that shave weight without sacrificing function. Whether you're thru-hiking the CDT or heading out for a weekend loop, our products are made to keep up-and then some.
Less Gear. More Freedom.
LITE WERKS products are designed around our three core values - versatility, reliability and sustainability. We believe in carrying less, going farther, and experiencing more of why we do this in the first place. Our modular design lets you customize your pack for each trip with optional accessories, giving you optimum control over how you move through the wild.
We Walk the Walk.
We're not just designers-we're a group of hikers, climbers and backcountry roamers who live on and for the trail. Our product designs are based on years of experience and feedback from a variety of seasoned outdoor enthusiast who traverse the paths of the world. Every product we build reflects our passion for quality, efficiency, and connection with the outdoors.
