Bikepacking is something I want to discover more and when Garneau asked me to review the Grity t-shirt and the Leeway 2 short, it was the perfect reason to go for few small trips.

Last November, Moose asked me to test their prototype of their upcoming bag and I could not say no. Specially when it comes to gear…I am the worst gear wh#$% you will ever meet.
