Mountain Bike Extras

Here are three items that will make any mountain biking outing just a little bit better, both out on the singletrack and at the trailhead.

Osprey Seral 4 $110 A

Carry a few essentials and a 1.5-l reservoir of water with the Osprey Seral 4. Compression straps and the hip belt ensure that the lumbar pack stays stable and close to your body. The durable fabrics are bluesign-approved, which means they’re manufactured in more sustainable environments. The water-repellant coating is free from fluorochemicals. ( osprey.com)

Chaco Chillo Slides $80 B

After shredding, let your toes get some air. Kick off your mountain bike shoes and slip on the Chaco Chillo slides. You can adjust the fit with the webbing and buckle. The name of the ethylene-vinyl acetate (eva) midsole – Luvseat – tells you about its comfort. You’ll be padding around the trailhead in plushness. ( chacos.com)

Helinox Chair One $150 C

During a post-ride tailgate session, take a load off in the Helinox Chair One. It can support even the biggest riders with its 145-kg capacity. All bundled up, the chair weighs a little less than 1 kg and occupies 12 cm x 35 cm x 10 cm in the trunk. This chair is very comfortable. The tie-dye version is for sure far-out. ( insport.ca)—mp
