    Hello all,

    Can someone provide a brief market synopsis related to current UL gear production? IE. How many companies are making gear, the big players, the up and comers, who demands the most respect based on gear reviews, etc.

    Outside of the big names (Mtn Hardware, Go-Lite, TNF, Montbell, etc) I am familiar with Ray Way, Mtn Laurel Designs, Gossamer Gear and Zpacks but would be interested to see who else is in this market play space.

    Thanks.

    Relax Ken. Your post wasn't up when I started compiling a list.
