Plan your pack, optimise your gear, and calculate your trail — everything you need before you step into the wild.
Planning a multi-day hike means juggling a lot: what gear to bring, how much food to carry, how hard each day will be, whether your pack is too heavy. Packlite brings all of that together in one focused tool.
The core is your pack list — build it, weigh it, and optimise it until every gram earns its place. Then layer in your trail data and food planning.
Create your free account →Build your gear list item by item, assign weights, and see your total load in real time. Spot the heavy items and trim until your pack feels right.
Upload a GPX file and split it into stages and stops. Get distance, elevation, time and effort index for each leg of the journey.
Going fully autonomous? Calculate how much food to carry based on trail effort and days out. Get total food weight broken down by day and stage.
Keep a master list of all the gear you own with weight and purchase price. Pull items straight into your pack list — no double entry, no guessing.
Add prices to your gear and Packlite calculates the total value of your pack — useful information, and handy if your gear is insured.
Get a 14-day weather forecast at each waypoint along your route. Forecasts shift date by date as you move stage to stage — so you always see the right day's weather for each stop.
Build and optimise your pack list before you hit the trail.
Effort index and time estimates, stage by stage.
Distance, elevation and time — per stage, not just in total.
Track everything you own — weights, prices, and where it's packed.
