EVOC CC 3L hydration pack


This is the smallest offering in the colourful EVOC range, which has long offered great build quality and fit. It’s a good option if you don’t want one of the new-generation ‘harnesses’ but still want a pack that’s as small as possible.

The included 2l bladder fits directly in the main compartment. There’s only one other pocket – a zipped external number with a fleece lining that makes it ideal for phones. Once you get a tube, pump and tools in the pack, there’s not a lot of space for much else, but you can stash a jacket under the removable bungee cord on the exterior. We like the way the drinking tube runs right to the bottom of the shoulder strap, keeping the mouthpiece out of the way, and there’s a detachable hip belt for extra security. At 90$ it’s the cheapest pack here.

BLADDER? Yes
SPINE PROTECTION? No

Price 90$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

THEY AREN’T CHEAP, but these well made and feature packed shorts are the epitome of classic mountainbike-specific functionality, and on the bike they don’t disappoint.
