goFASTandLIGHT.com is a family owned business, was founded after the owner suffered two broken vertebrae in a 1999 mountain biking accident. After rehabilitation, he tried to go backpacking and discovered that while he felt 99% recovered, his back could not support as much weight. So began the quest for lightweight backpacking gear.
While it was relatively easy to find light tents, packs and sleeping bags, it was more difficult to find lightweight versions of items that go into a backpack - flashlights, cooking gear, fishing poles, and other accessories.
GoFASTandLIGHT.com is dedicated to finding and offering items that are lightweight, do double duty (ex: LED equipped Baseball caps that can be used as headlamps), or are technological leaders in their category, Our focus is on items that go in, on, or around your backpack, tent, and sleeping bag.
We also strive to lighten your load, while not lightening your wallet. We try to find items that are low cost. Anyone can offer an expensive $50 lightweight titanium cutlery set, but if a $4 plastic SPORK is just as light - why not go that way?
Shop and purchase with confidence, we will ship your order fast, so you too can Go FAST and LIGHT !

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
