The updated ULA Circuit stays true to its roots as a thru-hiking favourite, with a few smart refinements for 2024. I’ve been impressed by how ULA has refined this pack without losing what made the original Circuit such a favourite.
The Circuit SV (Small Volume), is identical to their award-winning Circuit backpack, but with a sleeker smaller volume.
ULA has taken the popular Circuit and stepped it up with Ultra fabric, bringing serious abrasion resistance and waterproofing without tipping the scales. Ultra fabric is 15x stronger than steel by weight, twice as abrasion resistant as standard 420D nylon, and waterproof to 200 psi. Ultra is the ultimate in ultralight fabric, with the strength to go the distance in the harshest environments.
While the outdoor apparel industry produces a notorious amount of waste, Sambob tries to break that mold in a couple of ways:
Utilising discontinued fabrics: Sometimes brands move on from a product, which can mean they have leftover fabric they can't use.
Giving flawed fabrics a new life: Sambob gives these unwanted, or damaged rolls of fleece a new life!
The SamBob Alpha 90 Hoodie and Joggers use Polartec Alpha Direct (90gsm), a fabric known for its excellent breathability and warmth during high-output efforts.
They are both incredibly lightweight insulation pieces for cool-weather hiking, or as a midlayer under a wind shell.
'Wide Fit' is effectively the men’s version, with a straighter cut and slightly more room.
Loaded with 1000-fill power down and sewn into a durable 7d micro ripstop nylon exterior shell, the 20 & 40 Degree Quilts are warm, comfortable, incredibly light, and highly packable.
● 3-Dimensional Baffles allow for maximum lofting while also locking down into place, minimizing down-migration. ● 3 Low-Profile center push clips, coupled with the neck drawcord help reduce drafts and lock-in warmth. ● 4 sewn-in loops provide additional lashing points for securing to a sleeping pad.
