We present you our smart packing list for your hardway tour. The list is designed for stage tours (from accommodation A to accommodation B), without escort vehicle, for several days. That means you only have the bare essentials. The equipment is divided into three pockets, with the positive effect of weight distribution and the minimization of the complete equipment loss. We recommend a waterproof 30-liter backpack, a middle fanny pack (SENO TECHNOLOGY) and a waterproof 5-liter bag with center and side buckles. The packed backpack (5-6 kg) and the fanny pack are on the driver, the pannier (about 1 kg) is attached 2-3 fold on the motorcycle tail fender.
