ultra light

Almost weightless gear

Ultra light describes something extremely lightweight, often at the boundary of what's practical for its purpose.

The term appears most often in outdoor gear and aviation: an ultra light backpack minimizes pack weight for hikers, while an ultra light aircraft is a small, simple plane subject to minimal regulation.

Also spelled ultralight, especially for the aircraft.
