As title really, who else should i look to bikepacking gear, lightweight tents etc.

Nothing against alpkit, had some of their stuff with no issues, but want to be able to make comparisons more easily

A lot of Alpkit stuff is rebadged Chinese stuff, so don’t discount direct Chinese importers like Lanshan etc.

For bikepacking bags, brands like Ortleib and Apidura produce high quality stuff, though I do like the made in the UK Alpkit range.

Restrap are also made in the UK, but they only do the bikepacking bags stuff. As recommended by tuboflard, Ultralight Outdoor Gear is a pretty good place to start for everything else.
