Deuter Trans Alpine Pro SL 26L Backpack – Women’s

You’re a pro on the trail and you need a pack that reflects that. Deuter created the Trans Alpine Pro SL 26L Backpack for you—you who rises before dawn to be first on the trail. Who meticulously inspects your bike before and after each ride. Who knows the cost of the uphill reflects the joy of the downhill. Each aspect of this pack reflects the high-standards of high-intensity mountain bike athletes. The entire front panel opens for quick and easy access to key maintenance components like pumps and tubes, and has multiple zippered and stash compartments to help you stay organized.

The 3L reservoir compartment is easily accessible from a back zippered panel and the two side stow pockets hold additional water bottles so running out of water stays far from your mind. When the terrain gets spicy, the reinforced upper shoulder straps offer a comfortable carry for your bike. As the terrain mellows out, the ActiveFit shoulder straps and Airstripe backsystem work to stabilize the pack on your back and increase airflow as you weave and maneuver through single track aspen glades.

Scarpa Zen Pro Shoe – Women’s

Your climbing partner might be complaining about the approach, but you couldn’t feel more peaceful thanks to the Scarpa Women’s Zen Pro Shoe. This light shoe sports a sturdy suede upper with air mesh inserts for ventilated airflow. Scarpa lined the upper in odor-resistant, moisture-managing Cocona for even more comfort. Underfoot, the Zen Pro features a P-Flex footbed that promotes natural movements, while the injected EVA midsole offers long-lasting support for technical terrain. Vibram’s Spyder 2 sole sticks to trails without picking up pebbles along the way.

Osprey Packs Tempest 20L Backpack – Women’s

Your last adventure race went something like this: you navigated on foot through a labyrinth of trees until you reached a river, hopped in your canoe and paddled over to where your mountain bike was waiting, jumped on your bike and pedaled over a mountain pass. Or maybe this just described one of your typical weekend days. Whatever the case, the Osprey Women’s Tempest 20 Backpack is a perfect lightweight companion for your adventurous day exploits. This panel-loading backpack holds up to twenty pounds of gear and water, and keeps things organized in convenient pockets. It features a women-specific fit and breathable, cushioned comfort to keep you from conjuring visions of chucking the bag downriver before you reach the end of your journey.

The hip-belt’s ErgoPull adjustment makes it easy to tighten or loosen on the fly, and the shoulder straps, harness position, and sternum strap can also be adjusted for a perfect fit tailored to your anatomy and load. The ventilating ridged foam back panel keeps you fresh while padding your back through long day hikes or multi-sport excursions. A pull-out LidLock helmet attachment fits through the vents on your bike helmet to secure it to the front of the pack, loop and bungee attachments hold tools and trekking poles, and multiple smaller pockets hold items you’d like to quickly access.

Five Ten Anasazi LV Climbing Shoe – Women’s

Created specifically for women, the Five Ten Women’s Anasazi LV Climbing Shoe specializes in narrower feet and still holds Anasazi’s standards for high friction and technical climbing. With the longer toe box, lower instep, higher arch, and lower-volume heel cup modifications, this Anasazi snugly encloses the narrower foot. With such solid, foot-hugging support, you’ll stay comfortable whether you edge through techy routes, work on that new boulder problem in the gym, or smear your way up an all-day slab-fest.

Scarpa Techno X Climbing Shoe – Women’s

Scarpa designed its Techno X Climbing Shoe specifically for women so you can face-climb on dime edges, smear some slabs, and crack climb comfortably. While the technical flat-lasted construction makes this shoe comfortable for all-day climbing on the big walls, its Bi-Tension active randing system provides maximum power on your toe without cramming them down. And its flat toe profile ensures you can jam your foot in the smallest cracks with the utmost comfort. Perforated suede leather provides comfort and breathability, and microsuede overlays boost durability. Its Flexan 1.4 midsole keeps the shoe stiff for quality edging and increased support, and the Vibram XS Edge rubber offers incredible grip and durability so you can smear slabby sections with confidence for many seasons. Scarpa left this shoe unlined for an increased sensitivity, which is something you appreciate when you’re climbing on slippery, dime-sized edges. And the asymmetrical lace closure offers a better fit than standard laces do. 

Asolo Apex Shoe – Women’s

Tackle the longest, steepest, most technical approaches with the Asolo Women’s Apex Shoe. As you’re navigating through fields of lose talus, you’ll be thankful for the durable suede upper that’s also water-resistant, just in case you come upon the inevitable mountain stream. The Vibram rubber sole provides you with the grip you require to move confidently across granite boulders and scramble up the class four sections of the trail. An EVA midsole with an anti-shock insert ensures that your foot will stay comfortable and protected, even after hours on the trail and a heavy pack full of climbing gear on your back.
