I have been mountain biking for quite a while and it is a big hobby of mine. I had a great hydration pack (don't remember the make or type), but it was stolen. I've never really had a good pair of gloves. Does anyone have any ideas on the best type of pack and gloves to get. For the gloves, warmth isn't a big deal because I mainly ride in the summer. FOr the pack, however, I need to be able to fit a reasonably large resavior in there for long rides as well as the essentials (e.g. tubes, multi-tool, levers, mini-pump, energy bars, rain-layer, first aid kit, light system, and a strobe light). Thanks
Camelbak makes awesome hydration packs with lots of storage options. Check out their website for the style types and capacities. We all ride with them, they even makes one just for women ( =
As for gloves, find a pair that fit your well and are comfortable. Go to your local bike shop, they will have a large selection you can look at, try one, compare, etc. I wear Fox gloves, girls Reflex gel. The thing I looked for in gloves was a breathable, mesh back and leather covered padding so they will be lightweight but tough. Also, pay attention to where they hit on your wrist, some people prefer a higher or lower glove.
