Robens Fire Midge Titan gas cooker
Field kitchen - A hot meal or at least a freshly brewed coffee in the morning - even extreme adventurers allow themselves this much luxury. The Robens titanium cooker is barely bigger than a barbecue, fits standard screw-in cartridges and heats a litre of water in just over 8 minutes. No lighter to hand? Never mind, the Fire Midge is started by a reliable ignition system.
MSR Hubba Hubba Bikepacking 1
Mobile home - The MSR is downright luxurious for a mobile one-room dwelling. There is space for changing clothes in the large vestibule, and washing lines and storage compartments help you dry your gear. If you want to be closer to the stars, you can sleep without the tear-resistant flysheet. Ingenious: the poles have been shortened to a 30 cm folding size and can be transported together with the tent in a cleverly designed bag on most handlebars.

MSR Titan Kettle 1400
Lightweight cooking - MSR offers cookware for gram-fearers. This pot made of high-quality titanium holds 1400 ml and weighs just 155 grams. The folding handles are silicone-coated and an improved spout prevents the much-needed calories from ending up next to the plate. The smaller 900 ml kettle and a cartridge including cooker fit into the titanium pot. Predicate: made to last.

Gram Handlebar Roll 12 L
Rollkoffer - Gramm from Berlin tailors the right bags for every bike adventurer on request. However, the handlebar bag with a maximum capacity of 12 litres is particularly clever. It is particularly easy to remove using the quick-release bracket. The waterproof roll-up bag easily swallows a tent, sleeping bag and sleeping mat. The integrated accessory mount gives you the best view of your GPS device and co.

USWE Roll-Top Saddle Bag Bikepacking Bag
Arse rocket - Saddle bags often have a problem: they bounce around like a monkey gone wild. What USWE has perfected in its rucksacks, the 8-litre saddle bag is now also able to do - "No Dancing Monkey" - i.e. hang stably under the saddle without bouncing. The roll-up bag is waterproof, has a ventilation valve and additional accessory hooks.

Restrap Coffee Dripper
Wake-up call - The sun is just peeling over the horizon and hot coffee is dripping into the cup next to you - a real moment of happiness. The Coffee Dripper from Restrap is particularly easy to use, it weighs just 40 grams and can be folded up to save space. In its nylon case, it fits into any bag, no matter how small, together with a few filter papers.

Out of bed without coffee? I might as well stay in bed. That's why I always have a mini kettle and coffee filter with me. But I don't bother with the heavy moka pot. I can't get a good crema with it anyway. I also need more than a few drops to get started. - Stefan Frey, test editor
Tailfin Long Top Tube Bag
Pocket gamer - Snacking while riding or pulling out your mobile phone - the best way to do this is with a top tube bag. However, these are usually rather small. The new Tailfin bags with a volume of 1.6 to 3 litres offer more space. Clever: They can be attached using a strap or direct mount and subdivided individually. Two zips facilitate access from both sides.
Weight from 229 grams; price from 110 euros
Aeroe Spider Rear Rack
Piggyback transport - The arse rocket is standard equipment for bikepacking, but it has one disadvantage: from few exceptions it blocks the function of the dropper post. Aeroe avoids this problem with the Spider Rack, which is simply clamped to the saddle rails with a quick-release fastener - whether on a hardtail or a fully. Up to three transport trays can then be loaded with drybags or luggage of all kinds.
Nemo Tensor Extreme Conditions Ultralight Insulated Sleeping Pad
Push-ups - You're sleeping in a 1000-star hotel and dreaming of your next adventure, but the cold creeps relentlessly from the floor through your sleeping bag - brrr. The warmest sleeping pad on the market can help. With its special structure, the 3.5 inch thick Tensor Extreme achieves immense insulation performance. And it is also particularly quiet for cosy dreams.

A pillow comes with me. Unlike Stefan, I do without a chair, cooker and coffee. I prefer to stop at the nearest café or petrol station. There's a loo there too. For me, battery life is almost the most important feature of a sat nav. Garmin and Coros are my first choice. - Sandra Schuberth, test editor
Aeron TPU MTB-ExtraLite Protect
Travel insurance - You know that moment when the sealant shoots out of the tyre like a burst water pipe, but you've left the spare tube at home to save weight? Well, that's a bummer. That's why it's better to pack one of the new TPU inner tubes in your luggage to be on the safe side. Their advantage: tiny pack size and minimal weight with solid puncture protection - ideal for bikepacking.

Helinox Chair Zero
Air seat - As an experienced camper, I say: at some point you just don't want to sit on the ground any more. But especially when bikepacking, you want to do without every unnecessary gram. This is where the Chair Zero comes into play: it is not only one of the lightest camping chairs, but also one of the most comfortable in its league. A perfect match, so to speak!

Coros Dura
Endurance runner - Battery management is one of the main problems with bikepacking. So far, no sockets have been sighted in the wild. But at least the Coros Dura is unlikely to run out of juice any time soon. Solar cells extend the battery life of the 97 gram GPS computer to up to 120 hours. Otherwise, the Dura has all the features of modern bike sat navs: touch function, turn-by-turn navigation, dual-frequency GPS as well as Bluetooth and ANT+.

Big Agnes Fly Creek UL
Four-poster bed - If every gram counts, but you still want to sleep cosily warm and as if on clouds, there is no way around a lightweight down sleeping bag. The Fly Creek UL with a shell made from recycled fishing nets is stuffed with responsibly sourced RDS-certified down. Thanks to the highest fill power, you only have to fear goose bumps from -4 degrees Celsius. Available in two lengths and with a minimal pack size.
