Meet our team...

Welcome to SoUL your ultimate destination for ultralight travel gear. Our mission is simple: to make travel and hiking easier, more enjoyable, and as light as possible.

Fourteen years ago, I found myself at a crossroads. After being made redundant in the UK, I decided to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. What started as a way to fill the days quickly turned into a passion for exploration. I’ve now visited over 100 countries, hiked some of the most breathtaking trails in the world, and learned countless lessons along the way.

One of those lessons? The importance of traveling light.

The Problem with Too Much Weight

Early in my travels, I made the classic mistake of overpacking. I’ll never forget trekking through the sweltering heat of Southeast Asia, struggling with a backpack that felt like it was loaded with bricks. Or the time in the Alps when my overly heavy gear slowed me down, and I had to abandon part of my planned route because I couldn’t keep up. These moments taught me that every ounce matters.

As I searched for solutions, I realized there wasn’t a single, reliable place to find the best ultralight travel and hiking gear. Everything was scattered, requiring endless research and trial-and-error purchases. That’s when the idea for Soultralight.com was born.
