TRAVEL GEAR

No shady deals, no hush money – just pure, unfiltered passion for these kickass products. Battle-tested for over 30 damn years, the RAID crew stands by this no-nonsense lineup of travel essentials. These beasts aren't just tough and reliable; they're the functional bad boys you need to conquer any journey, even in the gnarliest of terrains.

The Scicon Sports Aerocomfort 3.1 Road XP is built for one thing—moving your bike through the chaos of travel without compromising the setup you’ve dialed.

No stripping it down. Handlebars stay on. Saddle, seatpost, pedals—unchanged. Your fit arrives exactly as you left it. Inside, the system is simple and secure: a built-in stand holds the bike in place, dedicated wheel pockets protect what matters, and reinforced padding absorbs the impact of the journey. The fabric is tough, the zipper is solid, and the whole thing packs down when you’re done.

It’s light, practical, and designed for riders who travel often and don’t want to think twice about their equipment.

One note—if you’re running flared gravel bars, keep it to ~45 cm. Anything wider, step into the Aerocomfort 3.1 Gravel.

Peak Design doesn’t just make gear—they solve the problem of moving through the world with purpose. Born in San Francisco, their system of bags, camera cubes, and travel tripods is built for people who don’t stand still. Clean design, smart engineering, no wasted space—everything has a place, and everything works.

This is gear that moves seamlessly from airport to ride to shoot. Packs that carry hard without feeling heavy. Tripods that disappear until you need them, then lock in with absolute confidence. It’s not about overbuilding—it’s about getting it exactly right.

Brad never leaves home without it. Camera gear dialed, travel tripod packed, ready to go. It’s part of the system now—quiet, reliable, always there when the moment shows up.
