Small but mighty Apidura

Dag Raška — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 07:12:22 +0000

A week has passed and here is a new article once again. Another week has passed and there is a small triangular frame bag available again. This time it's from the English brand Apidura and is designed primarily for full-suspension bikes. It's one liter and minimalist. Let's take a closer look at it.

Acepac Levity, Countour Alpha and Air – a quick winter introduction

Tomáš Teodosijev — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 09:50:29 +0000

"Are you going to wear that almost transparent jacket for cross-country skiing?" Kate says to me. It's supposed to be packable, lightweight, and warm enough when you're moving and I reply, "Exactly! And I'm only taking one lighter double-faced underwear...imagine. I won't have anything else. Either I'm going to freeze to death and you're going […]

Lesovik Draka – Comfortable ship from Poland

Tomáš Teodosijev — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 09:29:53 +0000

It's been more than a year since I started going on outdoor adventures with a very capable hammock from the Polish manufacturer Lesovik. The hammock bears a nice memorable name DRAKA. Unfortunately - it has not only appealed to me, but also to my son, who regularly appropriates it when we go together. Usually before […]

How did I (not) get to the reunion

Tomáš Teodosijev — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 15:13:34 +0000

The idea of organizing a bikepacking meeting, which would take place in Šumava or at least within its reach, has been in my mind for a long time. Originally, I wanted to go there for the spring meeting, but before I could make up my mind, Dag had already suggested this possibility. I thought of […]

Pinguin Lava 350 – introduction of the summer down sleeping bag

Tomáš Teodosijev — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 13:30:50 +0000

When I was thinking about how I would approach this test, thoughts were creeping into my head that it would probably not be a classical testing on my part, but rather a fleeting acquaintance and discovery through the eyes of a cyclist and, according to many, even a "crazy hammock maker" (I don't agree with […]

Bikepacking meeting – spring 2022

Tomáš Teodosijev — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 12:52:47 +0000

After a successful autumn bikepacking meeting near Jindřichův Hradec, which was slightly intimate, I could not wait for the start of this year's bikepacking season in the form of a traditional spring meeting. It is usually always attended by a lot of eager bikepackers.

Getting to know the Apidura Hydration Vest

Dag Raška — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 14:42:10 +0000

When my friend Ondra called me and offered me a new product from Apidura to try, I was excited, but when he announced that it would be a backpack, my enthusiasm waned and I was very skeptical. I consider a back pack to be pure evil when bikepacking. A sweaty back...an abomination of glory. Still, […]

Review: Revelate Designs Pronghorn

Dag Raška — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 14:17:41 +0000

Towards the end of last year, I posted two reviews of long-used Revelate Designs products on our website. These were a saddlebag and a small top tube bag. Today it's time to publish the last tested piece from this American company and it's the Pronghorn handlebar bag.

It doesn’t have to be all feather warmers

Dag Raška — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 13:50:27 +0000

After more than a year of intensive use, I got around to writing a review of the Patagonia Micro Puff Hoody. Actually, I had planned to write a review on the bag, but since the weather is not very good for taking pictures of the bag, I had to postpone this review in time and […]

Lesovik – a little big miracle from Poland

Tomáš Teodosijev — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 07:07:29 +0000

Lesovik is a mythical East Slavic creature who, in the form of a forest demon, protects the forest in a sometimes radical way from intruders. Hammockers also know that this is a very interesting and progressive Polish manufacturer of outdoor hammocks and accessories. It has to be admitted that the Lesovik brand is still relatively […]

Revelate Designs Ranger

Tomáš Teodosijev — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 08:00:17 +0000

Ranger. Most of us probably think of the famous lawmen whose history goes back to the Wild West. But we can also see rangers as protectors of endangered wildlife in national parks and natural areas around the world. In short, the ranger combines many activities and qualities that a ranger must master and possess. So […]

Autumn bikepacking meeting 2021

Tomáš Teodosijev — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 16:15:50 +0000

I always look forward to the autumn bikepacking reunion and I probably won't be far from the truth if I say that most of us do. Besides, autumn is one of the most visually dramatic times of the year. The sun has been describing a low path in the sky for most of the day […]

Warming the hammock or what you learn in youth you find in old age

Tomáš Teodosijev — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 20:00:57 +0000

One could argue, "You can't do it without insulation." And it's true - if you choose to spend your nights on the road in a hammock, know that you can't do without good insulation for most of the year. If you're in your early twenties, you may be able to take the cold much better, […]

One of Canyon's latest developments is certainly the launch of the new Canyon Grizl gravel for the 2021 season, finally catching up to the lead seen in bikepacking gravel produced overseas.
