Yo, all you hikers on trail out there!
It's about that time where people start emailing us about wanting to switch out their gear.
Maybe they've got their kit dialed in and need a smaller pack, maybe their non-ULA pack failed, maybe they want to carry a second pack on the front of them like this dude Two Packs we met on the AT.
Anyways, here's the low-down on our current lead times!
For Robic stuff, it's in stock and ships out in 3 days.
For Ultra stuff - like the Circuit SV here - it's typically a 2 week lead time.
This applies to our backpacking packs only, if you're looking at a Dragonfly if it's on the site it's in stock.
If you know your size and pack model that you want in Ultra, you can always send an email as we might have some already built and ready to ship. Sometimes you get lucky!
When ordering gear from any company while you're out on trail, be sure to have it sent to a town that's at least 7 days ahead of you, and when you're ordering please leave a note that says something to the extent of "currently on trail, plz send pack fast" and we'll do our best to accommodate.
We've been there before and know what it's like to be a day ahead of your package and have to lounge in town or miss it entirely, it sucks!
Rest assured your USA made ULA pack backed by a lifetime guarantee will be there for you when you need it most.
Pack shown is a Circuit SV in Ultra 200X and 400X modeled by our resident brainiac

Ever wonder how we cut stack after stack of slippery silnylon without losing our minds (or fingers)? Meet the unsung hero of the ULA shop: our electric carving knife.
This thing is a straight-up beast when it comes to precision-cutting delicate, slinky materials. Weโre talkinโ clean edges, fast stacks, and way less cursing.
The only thing we don't use the Big Ass Knife for is Ultra materials, instead we use the Big Ass Laser, but more on that at another time.
As always, we like to make things with a little extra care and attention in our shop right here in Logan, Utah.

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to share this cool custom one-off.
This is a RX40 custom duffle I cut out for my son in his soccer(futbol) team colors.
I guess this is what happens when your dad owns a backpack shop๐

NOW AVAILABLE: NEW PACKRAT COLORWAYS
We've just launched 2 new X-Pac colorways in VX-21 Coral and Mulberry. As well as a return to Black Robic.
If you're unfamiliar with the Packrat, this is the daypack you've been looking for.
Versatile enough for daily demands and commuting, but tough enough for overnighter and pokey stuff in nature.
With a total capacity of 25.5L, the main compartment of the Packrat features a padded sleeve that's great for laptops or reservoirs up to 3L. It also features a zippered pocket to keep all those odd and ends handy.
For a full rundown of the Packrat, you can read the blog post in the comment below, where we cover its features, functions, and fabrics.

Custom 40L Nexus (it's got a bottom pocket) for one of our most loyal minions .
Ben has triple crowned with our packs, and this is his 3rd in the quiver. He's also really tall (6'4") and utilizes the rare XL torso, so we were happy to supply the big man with a small pack.
After having hiked with a Circuit on the AT, moving to a custom CDT pack for the PCT and CDT, he's now worked his gear down to fit in the Nexus!
This is the Black Beauty colorway with 210 UltraGrid from
If you've got a dream pack in mind with some off menu features, send us an email!

Wednesday saw the release of our new packing cubes specifically designed for the Dragonfly, and we've already sold out!
If you've been frantically refreshing the site in hopes of snagging some check back on Wednesday!
I'm the meantime, we put together a blog post talking about the different bundles and what types of use case they're for.
We've got a 30L bundle that fits inside of a 30L Dragonfly with room for a toiletry kit that features 2 large cubes.
We've also got a 36L that features the 2 large cubes and sees an additional shoe cube for those that like options.
We've included some reference pictures here to give you an idea of the scale of these.
The loadout shown is 6 days of clothing between the two cubes. One with 6 pairs of shirts, underwear, and socks. The other with 2 button-down shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and 2 pairs of shorts.
The link to the full article will be in the comments, have a great weekend!

The Entropy Spare Tire (v2) is a compact, versatile waist pack thatโs great for days on the trail where you need extra room and to keep things close at hand.
In an effort to help reduce our impact on the environment and the amount of landfill waste produced in the outdoor industry, we've made the Entropy Spare Tire out of scrap and remnant fabrics - so you can feel good about your purchase!
Entropy means a lack of order, for those that didn't already Google it. Accordingly, these utilize random scraps of fabric that are chosen at our wonderful sewing team's discretion.
No two fannys are the same!
Entropy Spare Tires may be made from any combination of colors and fabrics, including ECOPAK, X-Pac, ULTRA, Robic, and Cordura. This waist pack uses standard YKK zippers.
