[Hyperlite Mountain Gear]

COMPANY INFORMATION

Hyperlite Mountain Gear is a community of like-minded backcountry athletes who share a passion for the quiet sports and the transcendence of remote wilderness. Most importantly it is a collective who subscribes to the belief that having the right gear–nothing more than one needs to achieve success, and nothing less than is necessary to do so comfortably, safely, and precisely–results in a transformational outdoor experience. Founded by Mike St. Pierre, Hyperlite was created to reinvent the way we explore the outdoors. Hyperlite is known for its use of Dyneema® Composite Fabrics, which are high-performance, non-woven, rip-stop, composite laminates. Dyneema® fiber is laid out in opposing grid orientations, sandwiched between thin outer layers of polyester film, and melded together in a high-pressure autoclave. This process results in a highly durable material that is light enough to float on water.
