Ultralight Map Case

From Pennsylvania (USA), Equinox manufactures these very lightweight map holders.

When to Use It

On medium and long-distance routes, it is very important to check the map over and over. The aim is to follow the marked path and not deviate, ensuring a safe mountain experience.
Although the trend is moving towards digital, you reduce risks by carrying a printed map version. The map holders protect your maps regardless of the weather.

Design

Zippered opening and available in various sizes. We’ve looked at sizes M and L as they have the standard dimensions ideal for most market maps.
There are grips on each end in case you want to hang it around your neck. You can also attach it to the backpack at the belt area. It all depends on the type of hip belt or fanny pack you have.

Made of Silnylon and Clear Vinyl

It uses a very thin fabric, a nylon Ripstop impregnated with silicone (Silnylon). Silicone is a hydrophobic material (water-repellent), thus achieving a highly waterproof fabric. It also has a certain elasticity, just like the nylon itself, making it more resistant to pulls and tears.
For map visibility, they use a type of clear vinyl.
