Packing Systems and Gear

Carry what matters and leave the rest behind. VALR’s packing systems and gear guidance, developed by founder Harry Kemsley through years of riding in demanding, unpredictable environments, focus on having the right equipment in the right place, based on what works when conditions change and mistakes aren’t an option.

Why Packing Systems Matter

What you carry shapes how you ride.

Poor packing leads to fatigue, frustration and unnecessary risk. Too much weight, badly distributed gear or the wrong equipment can turn a great ride into a grind.

At VALR, we believe packing should feel intuitive, efficient and confidence-building. When your kit is dialled in, you ride better, think clearer and enjoy the journey more.

Our systems help you move freely, stay prepared and adapt when the unexpected happens.
