READ: Bikepacking 101 / How To Pack A Bikepacking Bike

Prepare for your next overnight ride with our specialised bikepacking gear. Swapping heavy traditional equipment for a compact bikepacking tent frees up valuable space between your handlebars. Choosing a minimalist bikepacking tarp provides an even lighter shelter alternative for fast riders aiming to cover huge distances. Your entire sleep system needs to pack down small, which is why an ultralight sleeping mat and a highly compressible down sleeping bag are essential for protecting against cold night air without adding bulk to your saddle pack. Distributing the weight of this bikepacking equipment evenly across the frame ensures your bike handles predictably on rough descents.

Bringing a micro cooking stove allows you to boil water quickly for a hot meal after a long day in the saddle. Packing a compact water filter guarantees you stay safely hydrated when natural streams are your only water source during a remote bikepacking adventure. Adding reliable navigation tools and lightweight electronics to your kit helps you find the perfect wild camping spot safely. Carrying a dedicated bikepacking repair kit with spare tubes prevents minor mechanical issues from ruining your morning.

Browse our full range of bikepacking camping gear to build the perfect sleep system for your off-road routes.

Aim for 5.3 to 7.9kg of total carry weight, excluding the bike, for a three-night UK trip with daily resupply stops. For more remote routes, add 1 to 1.5kg as a buffer.

Panniers hang off a rear rack, shifting weight high and wide. Bikepacking bags distribute weight low and close to the frame's centre line, keeping the bike balanced and predictable on off-road terrain.

No. Most beginners can start bikepacking on the bike they already own, as long as the bike is in good working order and suits the terrain they plan to ride. Gravel bikes, hardtail mountain bikes, and capable hybrids all work well for beginner-friendly routes.

For a first overnighter, pack the basics: shelter, sleep kit, spare layer, waterproof, food, water, lights, navigation, and a simple repair kit. A shorter gear list usually makes the bike easier to handle and the trip more enjoyable.

A first trip should feel manageable, not heroic. A shorter route with simple navigation and a clear bailout option is usually a better choice than chasing big mileage on rough ground.

Inflatable mats are best because they compress tightly and offer an excellent weight ratio. Aim for an R-value of 2.0 for summer or 3.0 to 4.0 for shoulder seasons. Foam mats are cheap but far too bulky for saddle packs.
