 Adventure packs doing exactly what they say they do on the tin, or sign. Evoc are proud of the journey which led them to create their lines of gear for both the bike and snow world, a theme which would appear to filter through all that they do. |

| There were several backpacks on display from the Protector line, ranging from the 10 litre capacity FR Lite up to the cavernous 30 litre FR tour. With more and more riders exploring big terrain in remote areas those looking for some back protection while carrying a pack are increasing in number. Using what Evoc call 'Liteshield Back Protector Techlology', this a replaceable panel formed from an EPS core surrounded by polyurethane foam to create compressible segments. These absorb the bigger impacts while softer layers sit close to the body and allow it to mould comfortably to your back. The full protector line is fully certified by the German TUV stamp. It's worth noting that the replaceable panel can be worn as a separate back protector in its own right. What we really liked to see was the introduction of the 20 litre Trail Women which has redesigned straps and layout to fit more comfortably with the female body, and is available in two sizes, small and long. |

| On the left is the 10 Litre CC Team with the 3 litre CC on the right. Team refers to the rainbow stripes inspired colour scheme and the range includes packs from the 3 litre pack shown all the way up to 16 litres with drinks bladder sizes ranging from 2 litres to 3 litres. |

| The Bike Travel Bag is anything but a cheap bike box, and if you're the sort of rider who doesn't travel often, or is happy to throw your bike in an old cardboard box from your local store, then this one probably isn't for you. If you take your ride seriously though, or travel with it a lot, then nothing beats the security of a proper bag. The Evoc is a popular sight at World Cup races in the hands of both privateers and pros and for good reason, they're tough and thanks to the widely spaced wheels, easy to lug through airports week in, week out. |

| Photography and biking go hand in hand. The outdoors lifestyle, amazing landscapes to be expored and skilful riding on display. It all needs documented. Frequently this takes photographers to places miles away from civilisation and this means that they themselves need to ride there too. The first item from Evoc is this 12 litre Camera Block, an insert designed to fit into larger sports packs of 20 litres and above and provide protection to expensive SLR bodies and a selection of lenses. It's shown here next to the Protector Series FR Team. |

| Next up is a true photographers bag, the Camera Pack, a 35 litre cavern for all your gear. We spotted several features which instantly drew our eye, starting with the zip opening at the rear rather than the front. This means you open it with the front in the dirt rather than the straps and back which keeps your shirt cleaner for longer. Chunky zips with easy grab toggles, lots of pockets for small items and straps for tying gear down on the outside all add up to a pack that looks to offer a solid alternative to Lowe Pro. |

| With an increasing number of riders eschewing elbow pads and bulky armour there's now a waistcoat/vest style of jacket in nearly every armour manufacturers line-up. Evoc build their four options around the same basic layout, offering a simple back protector and kidney belt vest, the Protector Vest, and the Protector Vest Air+ which includes low profile shoulder and flank protection. As with select packs in the Evoc range, these are available in both male and female specific designs. The back protection panel features the same technology of that in the Protector packs and incorporates a removeable coccyx pad. Additional protection on the Air+ in critical areas comes from the inclusion of silicone based padding which Evoc call Deflexion Technology. It's low profile, soft and malleable down to -20c, and breathable. The shoulder The images show the Womens specific Protector Vest Air+ in white and the blue mens Protector Vest in blue. |

| We all do it, we get back from a ride and throw that expensive lid in the back of the car on top of the junk and drive home. These two helmet bags offer protection from travel damage for both open face and downhill helmets. Mesh panels allow sweat to dry off while the open face helmet bag also includes a sunglasses pocket. A waterproof base allows you to put it on the ground without it turning into a giant sponge and colourways are this Multicolour style or plain black. |

| Shown on the left is the terminal bag with detachable backpack for carrying when you want to take just some of it with you. Without the additional zip-on pack the wheeled main bag fits the carry on luggage dimensions for air travel and comes in several colours. On the right is an opened World Traveller pack, a 125 litre multi compartment bag which has recently been reworked to fit in with new air travel regulations and should have no problem in swallowing up all your gear for any trip. |
