I am pretty set on the XL version for my tender backside.
Pros, Cons, does it come in pink?
I got the non-super wide version. I am surprised at how narrow it is. I would go wider next time.

I bought the oxbow voyager helmet light. I've never used a helmet light before so I am looking for info about the best place to mount it. (Top of helmet, under visor, side of helmet, chin mount) What works and what doesn't.

Julie, if you have a Klim helmet, they make a GoPro chin mount for your chinbar vent. The Oxbow is GoPro mount compatible, so that may be the perfect spot for it.

So last night I found myself lying next to my dirt bike again. This time my right hip had the displeasure to land on a rock. The standard foam hip pad wasn't quite up to this blow and I have a sore hip bone today. It got me thinking about a D3o hip pad.
Has any one used them with success?

I got tired of taking off my vest and digging out my saw. So many times there is a branch in the trail, or a bent tree that you can duck under so you do. Okay, maybe I'm just lazy. Anyway, now I carry my saw so I can get to it easily. Sometimes I clear trail without even getting off the bike. Voille straps (or Pronghorn) are very secure.1 Photo

I’ve had a ton of success and am very happy with the Mosko Moto reckless 10 bags. I will be using them for the tour for sure. One bag would typically have rain coat and pants. The other bag is food, gloves, recovery kit, etc. so not a ton of weight. I like the fact that they are dry bags. I personally haven’t had a lot of problems with their size in regards to getting on and off bike or snagging on trees. I’ll be running a helmet light, most likely moto minded light. Also will be wearing protective gear including leatt neck brace. These are all things I’m already using and riding with. I would suggest not adding a bunch of new stuff before the tour. Lastly, on the subject of helmets I have a white helmet and have always had white helmets, they are significantly cooler. The one I’m currently using is Airoh Aviator.

Has anyone had any experience with the Klim S4 Enduro rain pain you wear over your pants?
I am riding pretty late in the season and am paranoid about suffering a similar fate to Jeff Jenson last year. Lot's of other things can still screw with an attempt but if the storm outlook is mixed I would like to bring some good rain pants to help with potentially freezing wet conditions and Klims S2 Enduro pants seem really well suited.
I have a good light mountaineering jacket I have used for a few years and my warm gloves are Ice Climbing gloves that are great to ride with (lot's of previous experience using them riding during the winter).
The things I most wonder about is how small the S4 Enduro Pants pack and how they size if you wear knee braces?

I plan to bring, sim to you, a nice waterproof shell jacket but was going to get a cheap pair of 100% waterproof overpants that pack small if weather was looking questionable as I don't care about breathability on lower half as much as upper. If I had a day that was a lot of rain I could get a more robust set of waterproof gear at a local shop if need be....more than 1 way to skin a cat!

I just did a two day shake down ride this weekend and tested out my 1 gallon GL bags (2 of them) they worked awesome and were easy to use.
I was a bit paranoid about the weight of them on my rear fender but had no issues with the weight. Two 1 gallon bags worked out really well as I was able to empty 1 earlier in the day and had the other as a spare. Then on days were I don’t need two gallons I just fill up a single bag.
I would definitely recommend 2 x 1 gallon.
