Leatt Cargo 3.0 GPX hydration pack


The new cargo 3.0 is roomy for a harness-style pack – it has a 10l volume and, unlike most enduro packs, comes with a big 3l bladder. We aren’t fans of the cap on the mouthpiece though – it makes drinking on the move needlessly tricky.

The four-way straps are sturdy and help the pack stay in place well. It feels warm against your back, especially if you choose to use the thick foam spine protector. The Leatt pack offers a lot of storage, including a neat removable waterproof pocket for your smartphone, full-face helmet straps and webbed pockets for leg armour. It’s compatible with Leatt neck braces too, making it a good option for downhillers. If you like the idea of a harness but crave more space, this could be the pack for you.

BLADDER? Yes
SPINE PROTECTION? Yes

Price 210$

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.
