Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

Time to upgrade to cutoffs

I disagree. Full jeans gives far more grease/oil wiping area than cutoffs do.

If I wanted to vent my balls it'd be footie shorts or boardies.

Bedrocks sandals ?

I hadn't heard of that. It's more the term rather than the act which is getting to me.
I preferred my life before I knew! :(

Crocs

Look similar to the Xero shoes but a lot more spendy!

If those xero shoes are all they’re cracked up to be they’d be ideal. Sandals do seem like a good choice for both airing out of the feet the ability to just clip/tie/strap them to anything else on the bike and not worry about them getting wet etc.

Primark Espadrilles. (looks like they've discontinued the ideal pair, but they fold/ roll/ etc pretty small)

I agree about sandals. I bought the bedrocks 75$, and I'm really happy with this, I wanted sandals to go outside, in rocks and dust, and the sole is bombproof, I feel safe enough. You can also print the sole to chose the best size, there's also an adjustment guide.

But if it's just for walking on tarmac or really light sandals, the Xero shoes seems to be a good option too :)

I imagine both are pretty good! The Xero Z-Trails are designed for trail running/hiking etc so I'd hope they'd take more or less anything I'm likely to throw at them on a bike packing tour! The reviews seem to support that claim, plus I can pay £ and get them shipped from within Europe which is handy.

Is that a stock/marketing photo? Or your own?

Should have spotted that really! Was going to ask what the bike is.

Pretty sure that's one of the Surly Stragglers used by Pannier.cc

@Landslide is right, the photo comes from IG : pannier.cc
