Do you still tow your gear?

The Monowalker Fatmate hiking cart is an all-terrain marvel
that will carry all your gear!

Monowalker Fatmate

You need the best material because you are the engine.

As an avid climber, hiker and adventurer with a love of the outdoors,…
I’ve spent countless days, weekends and months traversing different landscapes and countries, and like most people who enjoy the freedom of traveling light, I went with the best backpacks I could find. But no matter how light my gear was, I still had the typical strains on my knees, shoulders and neck. As new innovations make lighter gear for the outdoors, it seems that the way we carry our gear has remained the same. read more

Monowalker Fatmate

Made for any terrain

When developing the Monowalker Fatmate hiking trailer, we had one goal in mind – to be self-sufficient, far away from civilization …
with equipment and food for days on foot, and to get along comfortably despite the heavy weight of the equipment and difficult terrain. The Monowalker Fatmate is not only made to hike in alpine terrain, but as well suitable for expeditions in the tundra, desert, or the Scandinavian Fjell without paths. It is here that it shows its real strengths. With the Fatmate, it does not matter if there is a path, if snowfields obstruct the way or the ground is muddy. With 4 “(10 cm) wide Fattire tires you can move reliably over any terrain. The width of the tire prevents the trailer from sinking, even with heavy luggage and loses ground. read more

Physical advantages

Due to the free-swinging suspension of the trailer on the Monowalker hip belt, the fully loaded MONOWALKER Fatmate will not affect your movement….
.One-sided loads on the shoulder, neck or back muscles, such as those that can occur while wearing a very heavy backpack, are eliminated, even though you can carry 40 kg of gear or more with the Monowalker Fatmate. Downhill and uphill hikes with the Monowalker causes less stress on your knees, because you only carry 50-30% of your gear weight (40 kg equipment load is the comfort area for trained hikers)

A forth loop is made for pulling two wheel carts or pulks. . A  buckle at the hipbelt front side has panic release features . It can be opened within a second as well with tensile load in case of an emergency. The harness can be attached with two velcro belts ( sewed at the hipbelt and shoulder belt, plus and extension beltset) to the mainframe, to convert the mainframe to a packframe. This conversion offers you the option to carry your gear on your back in case that the trail is unusable for the cart ( e.g. climbing passage or the path is blocked with rocks)

The disk brake

On steep descents, a mechanical disc brake will stop your trailer or can be used as a drag brake. Even pausing on steep climbs will be a real break
because with a pulled disc brake you can lean with your entire body weight in the Monowalker Fatmate and relax, while the Monowalker and the loaded equipment rests in the carabiners on the hip belt and on the wheel. With pulled discbrake, you may store the cart at the wall ( e.g. in the train, in your apartment or when using a public restroom on your hike)
