    What are your Top Five Bikepacking Gear you can’t cycle without?

    Me:

    1. Camelbak 2L: Light, practical with pockets, and ideal when using a full-frame bag. Easy to keep hydrated on long climbs and hardly notice it being on your back.

    2. Merino Base Layer – Prevents a cold sweaty back on descents, and adds so much warmth, especially on cold morning rides.

    3. Cable ties and duck tape: Basically will fix 99% of small problems that occur on the road.

    4. Smart inner tube – super lightweight and easy to carry.

    5. Cargo Bib Shorts – Best way to carry your phone and snacks for easy access.
