My Bikepacking Gear List

I was asked several times what I bring for my bikepacking tours. So I decided to put up a list of the stuff I’m brining on an average trip. Notice that the gear you need is very dependent on the weather, length of you trip and resupply options. I only use this setup for shot to medium long trips with the possibility of daily resupply with water and food.

I was asked several times what I bring on my bikepacking tours. So, I decided to put up a gear list of an average trip. Notice that the gear you need is very dependent on the weather, length of your trip and resupply options. I only use this setup for short to medium distance trips with daily access to water and food. I don’t bring a tent usually. I’m using shelter huts or my hammock (+ tarp). Furthermore, I don’t bring a cooking system. I will get food from restaurants on my way or eat uncooked food from the supermarkets. For anything more than this (food for several days, tent, etc.), I think bikepacking wouldn’t be the right option and I’d rather choose a rack-with-panniers setup.
