Score Big: Why Our Bargain Bin Is Your Ultralight Gear Jackpot

Hey trail friends — Ben here from Hilltop Packs. If you love hunting down gear that’s lightweight, built to last, and won’t break the bank, you’re going to love our yearly Bargain Bin that we run every November.

Over at our Bargain Bin page, you’ll find ultralight backpacking gear clearance deals, discounted items made from the same high-end materials we use on our main line: Dyneema, Challenge D50T, ECOPAK, and more.


🚨 Bargain Bin Drops: Happening All November Long!

We’re doing something new this year — 6 to 8 separate Bargain Bin drops throughout November!
Each drop will feature new deals, new items, and one-of-a-kind pieces from the Hilltop Packs shop floor.

So if you don’t see something you love today, check back often!
New gear could show up any day — and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.


What’s in the bin (and why it matters)

  • Limited runs & end-of-season closeouts: We use up leftover fabrics, custom prints, or accessory parts that didn’t fit into our regular product lineup. Still top-quality, just discounted.

  • Top-tier materials at bargain prices: Even though the price is lower, the gear isn’t “cheap.” We’re still using the same premium ultralight fabrics you know and trust.

  • Great steals if you’re flexible: Expect odd sizes, discontinued prints, or small quirks that don’t affect performance, just make the price nicer.


Why you should care

  • If you're gearing up for a thru-hike, weekend trip, or just want to save a few bucks while upgrading your kit, this is your spot.

  • It’s also the perfect chance to try out Hilltop Packs gear for less.

  • You still get our craftsmanship (right here in Waynesburg, PA) but with a little extra change left in your pocket for trail snacks.


Insider tips (because I like you)

  • Check often, especially in November with all these drops coming!

  • Be size-flexible, “odd size,” “leftover print,” or “small run” items might be your new favorite setup.

  • Act quickly, every item is limited stock.

  • Read the descriptions, we list quirks like “crooked label” or “slightly different print.”

  • Warranty still applies, our standard 60-day return policy covers and FIVE year warranty applies to Bargain Bin items too.


Who this is perfect for

  • New hikers testing out ultralight gear

  • Seasoned backpackers upgrading for less

  • Budget-conscious adventurers

  • Gear nerds hunting for test fabric runs or retired prints


What you might find right now

  • Bargain Dyneema zipper wallets

  • Odd-size stuff sacks and food bags

  • Limited-run ECOPAK pouches

  • Random-print dry bags and ultralight accessories


Final word

If you love a good deal and like the thrill of the find, the Bargain Bin is calling your name.
With 6–8 gear drops rolling out all through November, this is your best shot at scoring ultralight steals before they vanish.

Thanks for supporting our small team here in Waynesburg, PA, every purchase helps us keep crafting gear for hikers, dreamers, and dirtbags like you.
