Here we have a hydration system that integrates a chest protector (or vice versa). At first glance, the Fly Racing Convertible Hydro Pack Kit looks to be a perfect marriage. In fact, for most riders, it may be.

The system includes a hydration bladder, a rock deflector, and some storage for tools. Riders report that once the system is in place, it is actually fairly comfortable. It certainly alleviates the need for three separate important items. Most dirt riders (at least of the trail variety), carry a tool pouch (often as a fanny pack), a hydration system, and a separate chest protector. The theory behind the Convertible Hydro Pack is that all of these components can be worn as one.

There are a couple of potential negatives that come to mind. One is that the system removes vender choice in the various components. If you love the rock deflector but want a different style of hydration system, you are out of luck. Also, some riders have reported that the mouthpiece of the hydration unit is not as user-friendly as some, and has proven to be a bit fragile.

These small nit-picks aside, I believe the Fly Racing Convertible Hydro Pack Kit is a really good idea. In the end, fewer separate components to deal with means fewer potential headaches.

Sure, that nasty old deck plank you found behind your grandparents' shed works, but eventually you might want something a bit sturdier and better constructed than a water-logged piece of plywood. Every rider has a ramp of some kind. Not everyone has one that folds in half though.

Fly's Aluminum 7 1/2 foot ramp does just that. Why might you want your ramp to fold in half? Two reasons, really:

First, if you drive a smaller truck with a shorter bed, sometimes a full-sized ramp just doesn't fit. Second, being able to fold your ramp in half allows you to lock it up inside the cab of your truck to thwart off would-be thieves.

Fly's folding ramp takes care of all of that. It's made of 6061 T6 aluminum, has a polished finish, and can hold a load of up to 400 lbs. The tongue is attached to the ramp via a thick weld and has a non-slip rubber pad attached to it. That rubber has been known to come off over time, but that doesn't really affect the functionality of the ramp.

At almost 8 feet when fully extended, this ramp is nice for trucks with higher beds. The folks at Fly know what they are doing. This ramp is built to last and will realistically outlive your bike.

Another ramp to consider is this one from Prairie View.

Fly Racing crafted the Viper boot with genuine leather and a multi-layered texture of injected plastic protection. The boots close via buckle-and-strap, and you'll appreciate the injected strap holders too, making them more durable to withstand an active ride.

The sole features a lightweight race tread, metal toe, and small heel. Inside you'll find cushioned support and added ankle protection with comfortable flexibility.

This would also be a good time to remember what your child's favorite color is, because if it's blue, black, or red, you're in luck!

So don't feel too bad when you notice yourself telling your kids over and over again to take good care of their Vipers. They're great boots!
