Whether they’re new to mountain biking, a weekend warrior, a die-hard shredder or a competitive racer, there’s something for every type of mountain biker in this gift guide. Let’s dive right in and help you check this one off your shopping list.
The M.U.L.E. family of hydration packs have been a staple supply in the mountain biking and cycling world for years. The M.U.L.E.® Pro 14 is no exception—and it’s received some upgrades.
One major upgrade is the new Air Support™ Back Panel to support a cool ride, every time. Plus other essential additions like a breathable 3D mesh harness to help lighten the load, a large capacity 3-liter Crux® Reservoir, hip belt with storage, and a bike tool organizer. This pack is also e-bike battery compatible and includes a space for the Impact Protector™ panel (sold separately).
This pack comes in both a men’s and women’s version for equal opportunity shredding.
Podium®, aka the world’s best bike bottle, has been a staple of bike-enthusiasts of all kinds for years. The Dirt Series Chill™ edition builds upon the original Podium® to meet the specific needs of mountain bikers.
Because it gets HOT out there on the trail, this bottle keeps drinks cold twice as long, with insulated double-wall construction. And for those extra muddy mountain and off-road rides, the integrated mud cap makes sure dirt stays outside and only clean, cold water stays in.
The easy-squeeze, jet-valve design makes grabbing a quick drink easy, even on the move. Fits perfectly in the bottle cage so there’s no fumbling to grab or stow the bottle. It’s also 100% free of BPA, BPS and BPF—100% awesome.

What makes the M.U.L.E.® 12 hydration pack so exciting? For starters, it's the perfect size, comes with premium hydration and has all the features to make every bike adventure awesome.
For example, we've supplied an overflow pocket for an extra layer or wet rain jacket. A removable stability belt for added flexibility and comfort. The Magnetic Tube Trap™ for stowing the drinking tube in one easy click. And did we mention the Air Support™ Back Panel and lightweight materials for max ventilation on even the hottest trails?
Help your mountain biker friends keep calm and carry more with the new Fusion™ 3L Reservoir. This enhanced hydration solution is built to be super easy to use so they can concentrate on the adventure at hand. The integrated handle and pinch grip construction allows for single-handed filling at sinks and refrigerators. TRU® Zip is durable and waterproof so zipping is remarkably simple.
A dynamic, integrated hydration solution created for hardcore runners, hikers and cyclists alike, the Fusion™ 3L Reservoir with TRU® Zip Waterproof Zipper is ready for the long haul. Best of all, this reservoir is compatible with all CamelBak hydration packs.
Chase is pretty much the ultimate accessory for mountain bikers. There, we said it. With quick access to what you need most, Chase™ Vest has been redesigned with lightweight, breathable materials and a comfortable all-day-fit. Easy access pockets on the harness serve as a command center for your phone, nutrition, and anything else you need on the fly.
Developed by mountain bikers, for mountain bikers. The Chase Bike Vest is a classic, and a favorite among gravel, road and classic MTB racers alike.
It may not be the most exciting gift on the list, but it’s an essential and practical element to any successful mountain biker’s journey. To ensure clean, easy, and even tasty water, one must clean out their hydration pack’s reservoir from time-to-time.
The all-in-one tool kit makes for faster cleaning and drying of your CamelBak Crux™ reservoir.
This kit comes complete with cleaning tablets, a large brush for the bladder, a smaller brush for the tube, and a hanging accessory so you can fully air-dry your reservoir. All making for the freshest reservoir around and top-choice for your adventures.
Your giftees are sure to enjoy the ride with our M.U.L.E.® EVO 12 hydration pack. We've taken the DNA from the M.U.L.E.® family and given it all-weather protection and a few other upgrades.
The weatherproof, storm-ready fabric means they can focus on the path ahead, knowing essentials will be kept safe from the elements. At the same time they’ll be hydrated all day thanks to the massive 3L reservoir. Of course, this pack has plenty of storage for gear and tools so they're prepared for anything.
Light enough for short runs, yet roomy enough for longer adventures. Slightly bigger than the Ultra, this hydration belt lets runners carry a larger load, while still being lightweight and sleek. With multiple carry pockets for organizing all the important stuff, this belt also holds an easy-squeeze Podium® Dirt Series 21 oz bottle (included) so they can sip on the run, literally.
Psst…Podium® Flow™ is a great gift for mountain bikers—but runners love it too.
Put a little extra something in their gift bag, and in their fuel tank. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) help runners avoid post-workout symptoms like muscle cramps or soreness, and help them bounce back faster. THRIVE is formulated with the critical nutrients leucine, valine and isoleucine, plus glutamine to support the repair and building of lean muscle. All they have to do is mix one scoop of Raspberry Blast flavored powder in water after a workout. Easy peasy.
