Backpacking Light

About Backpacking Light

We have helped kit out hundreds of excited Camino walkers. Gathering their feedback together with the hiking and travelling experience of our staff, we have become something of a specialist in this particular adventure.

Most walkers aim to carry up to 7kg on their backs, and we have a store of tips and ideas to help you do the same. Whether you plan to walk it or bike it, enjoy the luxuries or aim for the modest experience of its traditional pilgrims, we can help you prepare for the adventure!

Download Backpacking Light’s Camino Gear List for ideas with hyperlinks to each product, or just check out our No. 1 Camino pack, our No. 1 Camino insulation, and our No. 1 Camino shoes. And an item that is frequently over-looked: we can’t recommend highly enough the Smartwool merino wool socks to keep your feet comfortable throughout the journey.
