MUNCHIE POUCH Specialized partnered with Fjällräven to build a suite of bikepacking bags. Our favorite might be the Snack Bag, which attaches to your handlebar post, giving you easy access for a beverage or snacks. Fjällräven added a layer of foam around the entire pocket to give the bag structure, and a cinch closure at the top of the bag keeps the contents safe if the trail gets rowdy. $45; fjallraven.com

ROOMY REPOSITORY Built from recycled sails and plastic bottles in Portland, the Venture from North St. is eco-friendly, lightweight and cavernous, with 30 liters of waterproof space. Beyond the main compartment, two deep side pockets are built in so you can carry extra water bottles, and a waterproof zipper pocket on top of the flap is ideal for smaller items. $185; northstbags.com

SUPPORT SYSTEM Racks might look like an old-school bike touring move, but the Old Man Mountain Divide is built for modern whips with an attachment system that works on any bike, even full-suspension mountain bikes without braze-on points and behemoth fat bikes. The addition of the rack will give you a full top deck for lashing awkward gear and room for two side panniers, which allows you to move your heaviest items lower on the bike. $168; old manmountain.com

JUNK IN THE TRUNK You can fit a lot of gear into this 13-liter, waterproof bag that hooks onto your seatpost, acting like a trunk for your bike. But it’s the stability that sets the Ortlieb Seat-Pack QR apart from the crowd. While most seatpost bags sway when you hit twisty trails, the QR locks to your post while compression straps tighten the load. $190; ortlieb.com

PACKABLE COMFORT You need more than just a light sleeping bag when you’re bikepacking; you need a bag that compresses as small as possible so it can squeeze into a small pack. The Western Mountaineering Flylite weighs just 14 ounces and crushes down to the size of a Nalgene bottle, and yet it’s stuffed with 850-fill down to keep you toasty down to 36 degrees. $470; westernmountaineering.com
