Hey adventurers,
I got my Enlightened Equipment ‘Hooligan‘ synthetic beanie last night. Here is a super quick video showing how it looks.
And a few pictures:
A new rain wrap/kilt has hit the market today, called the “Rain Wrap“, from Enlightened Equipment.
There is not a lot of specs when it comes to a rain kilt/wrap, but the jist of it is that the Rain Wrap is 1.4 oz for a small, 1.75 oz for a medium, and 2.1 ounces for the large, and the fabric is a waterproof 15D Silnylon.
This collage image was in their newsletter email announcement:

I recently had the opportunity to interview Tim Marshall, owner of Enlightened Equipment, based out of Winona, Minnesota (population 27,000), which has been a rising company within the ultralight outdoor industry for the last few years. The amount of times I have gone “wow” while conversing with Tim is likely more than any other interview I have ever done.
What I thought was a rather small time operation is actually a fairly large scale company.
Why not just move right into the interview and let Tim share some insights into the industry, his company, product development, and all that good stuff.
