After testing a lot of great bikepacking gear each year, it’s always a challenge to narrow our favorites down into a single list. Our forthcoming annual Gear of the Year Awards will feature the best of the best, but there’s a lot of other excellent products on our respective lists. This year, we’re continuing the tradition of our Editor’s Dozen series, with each containing a collection of things we found particularly useful while out bikepacking. To kick it off, here’s our latest YouTube video, showcasing 12 new and old gear picks that Neil grew to love in 2021. His list contains everything from budget drivetrains to high-end cargo systems, and a whole lot in between. Check it out below:
