Maybe my pick of the show. $160 helmet or bar mounted, waterproof video camera. A few AAA’s and a 2gig SD card get you 55minutes of recording time. The video looks good too, way better than I’d expect.

Hydrapak has a new waist mounted hydration pack as shown. Slosh free for those folks who don’t like a sweaty back, or weight on their shoulders. Also shown is their new commuting pack where the hose runs through the shoulder strap for built in insulation in all weather. And now all of their bladders turn fully inside out for cleaning and feature a slide lock top closure.

Under new management from Hayes, Maniou is back on the scene in a big way. All metal internals with cartridge guts for easy maintenance. A 29″ fork with a through axle and a backcountry/all mountain fork that rivals the SID in weight.
