GSI Bugaboo Teflon Mess Kit
First up, this weighs 16 ounces, not 10.7. Most of this kit is staying at home on hiking trips. Pity, it's a nice setup as two pans or one pot with a lid, and construction is good quality. Wrap the handle so it doesn't scratch the Teflon.
Super comfortable ultralight

Granite Gear Crown V.C. 60 Backpack
I love the flexibility and comfort of this pack. It's so light and small enough to use as a day pack, but expands for multi-day hikes. No problems getting this through as carry-on. Take the belt off and put it inside the pack, and you can also take the frame out and put inside to make it even smaller. Best point: very comfortable on long hikes, and the hip belt does a great job of taking the load.
To lid or not to lid

Bought this as an add-on to my Crown 60. Jury's out. Construction is solid, but it adds 25 percent weight to the pack, and doesn't sit well if the pack is not full. You're supposed to thread the shoulder pull-straps through it, which is a real hassle for taking the lid on and off. I don't bother. I bought this mostly for camera gear. It holds my SLR and a couple of mid lens pretty well, and I wear
Great little stove

Jet Boil Flash PCS Java Kit
Not an ultralight stove but what a great design, and energy efficiency means less fuel to carry. Love the way everything packs in the cup and it's so easy to set up and boil water in no time. The coffee plunger works well. It's great to have real coffee on the trail, though more of a mess to clean up. Not a problem if near water, but otherwise think I'll use instant. But this will store in my car

Easton Kilo 2P Tent - 2 Person, 3 Season
Love this ultralight after the leadweight I used to carry. Like most hiking tents, this is very small for 2 people, but this weighs less than most one person tents, which I use it for. Plenty of room for me and my gear, with my pack and boots in the vestibule. Easy to put up, with good zips and construction. Keeps me warm, bug-free and the rain out, though yet to strike a downpour.
