Is ultralight really coming to Germany

Yeah it is!

Even though most Germans are really stubborn when it comes to changing
from ultra-heavy-stuff that is as tough as Krupp-steel, there are some
guys that are embracing the new lightweight possibilities.

Laufbursche, a guy in a German ultralight forum is such a guy.

He is building pretty amazing light backpacks.
