I also had as spare or backup:

Luggage

  • Bering Catch backpack, pour le linge, le nécessaire de toilette, mon ordinateur portable et une paire de chaussure pour se balader en ville
  • Louis Roll Bag, 50L fixed with two Joubert straps for Tempest pants, a rain jack for city trips and a second pair of Furygan jeans
  • SW-Motech EVO Daypack, 5-9L, for small electronics and battery packs
  • Yamaha 39L Top Case, for spare gloves, tyre repair kit and, in a big bag, the DJI drone, a DSLR in its protective bag and water bottles.
