absolute must, and TM Designworks gets you covered in style
with this nylon-based reinforced material that is infused with
silicone so you can slide right over logs and rocks without a
costly repair bill later. These lightweight skid plates are formed

Hydration PacksOgio has hit the market with three new hydration packs—
the Erzberg, Baja, and Atlas—and depending on how
much fluid intake you need on your long off-road adven-
ture, there’s one that fits the bill. Sized with 1L (Erzberg),
2L (Baja), or 3L (Atlas) bladders, these packs hold the
hydration to keep you on the road less traveled. Along
with the bladder, each pack has compartments to hold
other small items. Whether it’s cycling, moto, or off-road,
these new packs will keep you from drying out on the
ride. Andrew Fredrickson

Xtra Heavy Duty TubesOff-road riding is the ultimate test of man and machine
versus the elements. When riding in the woods, there is a
1,000 percent chance of having to deal with roots, rocks,
trees, and other stuff that will destroy your tubes, leaving
you with a flat tire miles away from civilization. Don’t let that
happen—the Maxxis Xtra Heavy Duty Tube is specifically
designed for such circumstances. Designed for desert and
extreme off-road riding, the tube is nearly twice as durable
at 2.6mm. Don’t get stuck pushing your bike back; pick up a
thicker tube. Chase StalloMSRP: $20 - $27
