Here’s a look at some of the best new gear we saw at the Eurobike and Interbike tradeshows.

Dainese Pro pack It looks rather like a turtle shell (and it’s intended to serve much the same purpose) but unlike a turtle, you can jettison the extra baggage when you’re in a rush.

As you might expect from a company with its roots in protective gear, protection comes first – and this pack has a CE2-certifed spine protector.

The Pro Pack can be used in two modes: ‘race’ and ‘touring’. In race mode, the back can be streamlined by zipping off the exterior of the pack, which provides an addional 12 litres of storage capacity suitable for all-day rides. Even in this minimalist configuration, the pack offers a hydration bladder, helmet carrier and enough cargo capacity for a spare tube, pump and multi-tool.

The Pro Pack will retail for US$199. (UK and Australian pricing TBA.) Expect to see it in production in early 2015.

Leatt expands into helmets, body armour and packs Neckbrace specialist Leatt has had a line of protective gear and packs for several seasons, though never as wide-ranging and polished as what the company is debuting for 2015.

Leatt’s new DBX helmet line features impact-dissipating cone technology borrowed from Kali Protectives, along with what, at first glance, appear to be tiny wind turbines positioned inside the helmet.
