Bikepacking equipment from Alpin Loacker: ultralight, compact, and stripped down to the essentials. When bikepacking, every gram and liter of pack volume counts – that’s why you’ll find exactly the equipment here that fits in a saddle bag, frame bag, and handlebar roll: tents and bivouac sacks under 1.5 kg, down sleeping bags from 290 g, and sleeping mats with minimal pack size.
What equipment do you need for bikepacking?
The sleep system makes the biggest difference: a lightweight tent or bivouac sack, a compressible down sleeping bag or quilt, and an ultralight sleeping mat. Add merino clothing – one shirt for several days instead of three changes – and a hydration bladder for long stages without resupply.
We explain step by step how to put together your setup, which bags you need, and what should be on your packing list in our Bikepacking Guide for Beginners.
