These simple Swix brushes are essentials on the wax bench -- generally one bronze that's clean and one "dirty" for cleaning before new wax, plus both nylons for final brushing and polish. The wood is well-shaped for easy handling.

This is now my go-to helmet for most tours. Fit is good for my smaller head in size S/M (in between oval and more rounded). One small gripe is the goggle / headlamp straps are easy to lose, but the design is also very simple which is a plus. Chin / ear straps are easy to adjust.

Love my Skida nordic hats (have them in a few fun and less fun patterns). Doesn't stay quite as dry as the alpine hat (due to single-layer construction) but great for warmer days when you still want a hat. Sizing is pretty true to size, S/M is smaller but fits nicely under most small / medium helmets and integrates well with straps.

Cherry Limeade and Strawberry Lemonade are two of my favorites. Its a little sad to see Nuun now owned by Nestle, but the product is still simple and seems effective (at least it makes me hydrate more). For longer efforts I prefer something with more calories, but for shorter efforts, Nuun is still my go-to to make plain water more attractive.

The larger Hydrapak versions (350, 500) of the Dynafit flasks are a nice taper for ease of use. Haven't had any issues with the durability, though the do need to be thoroughly cleaned and dried if you use any sort of mix (unless you want not so nice stuff growing in them).
