Ossi Määttä
Co-founder | CEO
Many people in the Finnish hiking scene know Ossi through his books on ultralight hiking and backpacking gear. He has been a key voice for ultralight backpacking through his blog Kevyesti kairassa. He has also written memorable trip reports to the leading Finnish outdoor magazine Retki. Ossi is also a licensed wilderness guide.
“I have seen many people take up ultralight backpacking throughout the years, but some have said that finding gear in Europe is not easy. We decided to help out and founded Farlite.”
Valtteri Valkonen
Co-founder
Valtteri is a hiking enthusiast and a fly fisher. He started backpacking the ultralight way right from the get-go. He and Ossi joined many hikes where they pondered the difficulty of finding good quality ultralight equipment in Europe. One day we decided to do something about it.
“I enjoy hiking with a light pack, fly fishing, and combining the two. I don’t see any reason why beginners should start first with a heavy pack. Get modern equipment right from the start!”
