From video: I Rebuilt My Bikepacking Layering System: Here’s What Made the Cut
Published: February 19, 2026

Video Description

While Logan and Neil were working on their Rogue Panda Kaibab reviews, Logan asked what Neil actually carries in his handlebar bag and whether it stays under the 2.5kg (5-pound) limit for rigid MTB riding. The answer mostly comes down to his layering system, which he completely reworked over the past year. In this video, Neil breaks down exactly what he packs, how much it weighs, how small it compresses, and what it all costs.
