Bikepacking throughout the years, trips of different lenghts and in different terrain teach you about gear what no review can. You learn what breaks, what you never use, and what you’d pay double for without hesitating.
This is the list I’m currently riding with. Nothing on here was gifted. Nothing was tested for a weekend. Everything has at least a full season on it.
