Sea to Summit Portable Clothesline

The Sea to Summit Clothesline is a 3.5 m (11+ ft) dual-cord camp clothesline designed for backpackers, overlanders, and car campers who need a lightweight, peg-free way to dry gear in the field. Weighing 29 g and packing into a neoprene pouch at 50 × 70 × 20 mm, it fits in a jacket pocket and adds almost nothing to a pack.

Peg-Free Drying in Any Conditions

The Clothesline runs two parallel polyester cords fitted with sliding neoprene beads. To secure a garment, slide two beads together so they grip the fabric between them. No clothespins, no pegs, and no elastic stretch that lets items slip in a breeze. That grip-bead system means the line works on a single piece of clothing or a full load of socks and base layers without any extra hardware to carry or lose.

Fast Setup, No Special Anchor Points Needed

To hang the Clothesline, wrap each end of the cord around any convenient anchor (a tree branch, tent pole, vehicle rack crossbar, or campsite post) and hook it back on itself. No carabiners, no hardware, and no tools are required. The reflective cord makes the line visible after dark, reducing the chance of a trip hazard in camp.

Genuinely Compact

The Clothesline packs into its own neoprene pouch at 50 × 70 × 20 mm (smaller than a deck of cards). At 29 g, it is light enough to leave in a kit bag permanently so it is always available when a wet day or a river crossing makes drying gear necessary.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Sea to Summit Clothesline suits backpackers, bikepacking travelers, overlanders, and car campers who need a compact, lightweight way to dry clothing and gear at camp. The bead-grip system makes it practical in wind where a plain cord with pegs would fail.

The Clothesline does not include clothespins, carabiners, or any separate anchoring hardware. Anchor points must be available at the campsite. No load rating is stated; the line is designed for lightweight camp clothing and small gear items, not heavy equipment.

Common Questions

Do I need clothespins or pegs to use this clothesline?

No. The Sea to Summit Clothesline uses sliding neoprene beads on two parallel cords. Slide two beads together on either side of a garment and the beads grip the fabric between them, holding it in place without any pins, pegs, or additional hardware.

How do I attach the clothesline at camp?

Wrap each end of the Clothesline around a convenient anchor point (a tree branch, tent pole, vehicle rack crossbar, or post) and hook the cord back on itself. No carabiners or extra hardware are needed, but you do need two anchor points spaced up to 3.5 m apart.

How long is the clothesline when extended?

The Sea to Summit Clothesline extends to 3.5 m (just over 11 ft), which is enough to hang a full set of camp clothing or several pieces of gear side by side.

How small does it pack down?

The Clothesline packs into its neoprene pouch at 50 × 70 × 20 mm (roughly the size of a large matchbox) and weighs 29 g (1.0 oz), so it fits easily in a jacket pocket, hip-belt pocket, or the corner of a pack.

Will the clothesline hold items securely in wind?

The dual-cord bead system grips fabric between two neoprene beads rather than relying on tension or pegs, so items stay secured even in a breeze. No wind-speed rating is stated.
