Daniel (Dan), a Sydney local, is one of our managers and our resident Ultralight gear nerd. He is in charge of all ordering, replenishing stock, making everything look nice and deciding which products to bring in to the store.
Able to answer almost any question about almost any stocked product, and most that aren't, Dan has a gear collection most people would call fanatical, having some sort of experience with almost every stocked product.
He's completed multiple multi-day expeditions in Tasmania and New South Wales, with one of his favourite activities being extreme long distance hiking (45kms+ a day!) His favourite regions to hike include the Walls of Jerusalem, the Great North Walk and the Kosciuszko Main Range. In 2025, he's planning to hike the AAWT.
Dan is also an avid canyoner during the summer months and has completed many Blue Mountains canyons.
His favourite ULG products are currently the Mont Lightspeed Jacket, Ombraz Teton Sunglasses and Nashville Pack Cutaway Pack.
When in the store, you can usually find him organising new stock or out on the floor wearing his NW Alpine Black Spider Hoody.
When he's away, he's either out on some trail trying to break his last fastpacking record or looking for new ultralight gear to spend money on.
Ask him for his Lighterpack, or his baseweight! Last time we checked it was at 3.5kg/7.7lbs!
