GoLite is far more than a collection of products. It is a mindset, a mission, an ideal that infuses every design, concept and idea. It is as much a philosophy as it is a commandment to do much more with much less. GoLite is about freedom, about being unburdened by the superfluous, the over-engineered, or the obsolete. And it is about being connected to nature in the purest way. It is about going lite on the trail, in one’s life, and on the planet.

Scientists around the world agree that our planet’s eco-system is undergoing shifts of unprecedented proportions, changes that threaten the future of our biosphere and our civilization, changes that we humans are causing. Our life supporting resources are rapidly declining while our consumption of those resources is rapidly rising. Polar ice caps are melting faster than ever, rising waters are drowning low-lying communities, hyper-population, the depletion of fossil fuels, record species extinctions...even the snows of Kilimanjaro are predicted to be gone by 2015. By any measure, Earth is at the tipping point.

We view it as incumbent upon each of us to do our part to change course.
