Alpenglow Gear
Canada's Source for UL Inventions
Alpenglow, Alpenflow, Alpenblow, Alpenwoah. Alpenglow Gear was created by PCT Thru Hiker Tom, also known by his trail name 'Gadget'. Gadget is a former electric car designer who now designs awesome and useful ultralight tools instead.
The original creation is the Alpenblow, a sleeping pad inflator that weighs 8.5g, roughly the weight of a toonie and a dime. This tiny inflator plugs into USB‑C devices like your phone and fills most pads in a few minutes. My BA Divide Insulated takes about four minutes.
The newest invention is the Alpenflow, a brilliant and featherweight way to transfer canister fuel. Cool or gently warm one canister, make a canister and Alpenflow sandwich, press, and hold. It also weighs only 2.4g, about the weight of a penny (rest in peace).
