Welcome to our third annual gift guide, where we pull together 64 of the most interesting, quirkiest, and must-have pieces of gear from the past year. It's a mix of team-tested favorites, standout reviews, and those clever products that make you think, “Why didn't I think of that?”
Take the Sandal Book, for instance—a genius little case to stash your dirty sandals without turning your pack into a mud bath. Or the latest Campandgoslow Trout Tape, perfect for adding a retro touch to your setup. Then there's the Horse Cycles Speed Cage, a brilliantly simple yet sturdy way to secure your gear, and the HMPL Camp Radio, proving that sometimes less is more—until you're stuck in the middle of nowhere and need some tunes.
This guide is for gifting, splurging, or just daydreaming about gear that makes life on two wheels better. Every product comes with our BGDB seal of approval (and maybe a little envy from the team). While some links are affiliate, we only pick the good stuff—because you and your adventures deserve it.
Happy holidays and happy trails from the BGDB team!
