The
@raide.research LF 2L belt has been my most impactful gear revelation for getting out in the mountains this past year.
But I don’t always need the ability to carry a liter+ of water & a filter, or crampons and an ax and a phone and snacks for a full day out—a lot of the time I’m doing something way more lowkey in the front-country and only need to bring, say, my phone and a jacket or maybe a single 500L flask and a couple gels and a debit card.
Enter the new UL 1L from Raide. Same high quality materials and construction, thoughtful design, and no-bounce minimalist performance & function as the original LF 2L but with less bulk and a lower profile silhouette for those days when you’re just getting out for a quick hit.
Like this lap on the First Flatiron here in Boulder, my go-to when I’m looking for a <1hr micro-adventure.
The UL 1L fits the bill for everyday-carry duties; but with its sleek compression system (hidden cordlocks instead of Velcro straps) and the supportive back panel (tho thinner and less tall than the 2L) it’s still up to the task of fueling longer outings with no-bounce.
Jump on this one quick—if the popularity of the og LF 2L belt is any indication, these won’t stay in stock long!
