Enter your body weight and pack contents to get a recommended maximum pack weight, plus a gear budget broken down by category. Metric by default, with an optional lbs display.
How this works
The Trekax Pack Calculator compares your total pack weight against a target percentage of your body weight, using the same Light (8%), Moderate (12%) and Expedition (16%) packing profiles used throughout the trek and packing-list pages on this site. Category weight budgets are a typical/approximate split of your target weight, not exact figures — Trekax does not hold per-product weight data for every item.

Estimate consumables instead →
Most Trekax routes are teahouse- or hut-based with resupply along the way, so this estimates consumables until your next resupply, not food for your entire trip.

Base Weight Category
Traditional (>9 kg), Lightweight (5–9 kg), Ultralight (2.5–5 kg) and Hyperlight (<2.5 kg) are commonly used community categories, not an objective or scientific standard.
Gear Weight Budget by Category
A typical/approximate split of your target weight across the same six categories used in every Trekax packing list. Use it as a starting guide, not an exact spec.
