Camelbak K.U.D.U.
The K.U.D.U. enduro mountain bike pack was created for aggressive riding on tough terrain. Camelbak tasked a team of discerning mountain bikers to design a superior pack that would provide protection, cargo capacity and hydration all in one. The K.U.D.U. delivers it all, and remarkably very comfortably.

Designed for extreme conditions where crashes are inevitable, the Impact Protector® back panel absorbs 94% of crash impact, keeping the rider safe and confident. The lightweight and flexible material sits comfortably inside a sleeve near the hydration reservoir, close to the rider’s body.

K.U.D.U.’s design allows for plenty of cargo, and yet feels light and balanced, no matter how much gear you stuff into it. The innovative design includes a helmet hook, tool roll-up, armor carry straps and just the right number of compartments (i.e. not too many!). This pack is offered in a variety of colors, so you’re certain to find the perfect combo for your kit.

The North Face Thermoball Jacket (Men’s)

For men who like to use a minimum of jackets, The North Face Thermoball is a perfect utility jacket for chilly days or comfortable under layer for really cold days on the slopes. This jacket weighs practically nothing and is comfortable enough to go running in when conditions get ugly. While not thick or substantial, the Thermoball does cut the wind better than most bulky jackets. Developed in partnership with Primaloft, Inc., independent testing by Kansas State University has shown that the ThermoBall has warmth that is equivalent to 600 fill goose down. As a result, ThermoBall can offer the lightweight warmth and compressibility of down with the wet-weather insulating performance of synthetic insulation.
