HYDRATION PACKS/BAGS
2012 Rapha Backpack
The hardest trick for any riding backpack is designing it so it doesn't stand out as a riding backpack when you're using it for other purposes. Rapha set out to make one that also had élan, and they nailed it with their new, updated Backpack. In terms of riding comfort, which is the raison ...read more
2012 Rapha Briefcase
We have lawyers to thank for briefcases. Essentially, the traveling, handheld compartment began as an iron-framed carpet bag, and evolved from there. Thankfully, we've ditched the iron frame and carpet. A briefcase is now a shaped bag, big enough for important documents, some books, and a laptop. ...read more
2012 Rapha Essentials Case
A tube, tire levers, CO₂, small multi-tool, and a small phone. The Rapha Essentials Case can fit that and maybe a few dollar bills as well. It's not a seatbag, but rather its purpose is to replace your seat bag. Take your critical items, slide them into Rapha's zippered leather case (embossed ...read more
2012 Rapha Wallet
A good-looking wallet is hard to come by; a great-looking wallet is about as easy to find as a needle in a haystack. It's a relief that Rapha has produced a great looking Wallet that works on its own, and fits in with both Rapha's luggage and their clothing. Fit is key. While this works great ...read more
2012 Rapha Credit Card Holder
Rapha's Credit Card Holder is designed to slide right into your jersey pocket. Not that you'd want to put something so luxurious in a spot where sweat resides. Then again, considering this is a rather sumptuous item, it might look better, it might look more inspired, after sweat and flexing ...read more
2011 Rapha Apron
Have you ever changed out of your Rapha Club Jersey after a ride, put your bike into the stand, and then felt underdressed for the occasion? The Rapha Apron retains all of the expressive bravado and craftsmanship of the Rapha apparel line, but unlike the Country Jersey, you won't feel bad ...read more
2012 Vaude Northshore 20 Pack
The naming of the Vaude Northshore 20 Pack evokes images of epic rides into the mist of the Pacific Northwest -- the kind that may take you high up the mountainside, off the beaten path, and surely down some precariously rooty and rocky descents. In short, its name is apt and it's designed for days ...read more
2012 Vaude Hyper Air 14 + 3 Pack
Vaude's Hyper Air 14 + 3 Pack combines a streamlined shape with an exceedingly well ventilated suspension system and a packbag big enough to carry all the necessities for a big day on the trails. Vaude may be best known to some for their German engineered mountaineering tents and packs, but ...read more
2012 Vaude Cluster Air 10 + 3 Pack
Let's face it, as much as we dream of gnarly adventures way out in the woods or up in the mountains, most of our rides consist of trails we know well, just a few miles from home. As such, we might not need to bring the kitchen sink and a change of clothes so to speak, so a smaller backpack will do ...read more
2012 Vaude Juicy Air 7 + 3 Pack
Hydration packs have become increasingly complicated over the last few years. Some are so chock-full of features that it can be difficult to discern the appropriate use for each of the dozen or so pockets when you’re on the go. We like the Vaude Juicy Air 7 + 3 Pack because it combines useful ...read more
