*Edited to add link where I purchased the fill*
Thought Id share my findings to this audience as well (with a more clickbaity title lol). Basically I wanted to find out what material it was because I'm a cheapass and suspected gitlite was marked up quite a lot. Turns out it is, but not marked up as much as you might think.
TLDR: Gitlite premium bag fill is just expanded polypropylene. Spexlite 5125 is the exact same stuff, and can be had much cheaper. Its amazing bag fill, and for $16/lb I think more folks would use it

Gitlite alternatives
TLDR: Is git-lite worth the hefty price tag? ------ Not in my opinion, no. Although I don't know exactly how much Gitlite you git (lol) when you order the large bag, its $70 shipped. I got 12 liters of Spexlite 5125 for $73 shipped. Seems to be enough for 4 schmedium gamechangers. I'll find out...
