Review on 🚵 Optimized Backcountry Research Mutherload Strap by Epickson Palma

This harness is a bit expensive for what it is, but it looks well made, works well thanks to rubber sealed elastic cords and stays in place. That's better than "just" a few nylon loops if you're doing something mischievous. I was trying to use nylon slings to hold a pair of Pedros arms and a spare tube to my frame and lost the tube and arms on a shaky descent. After climbing back I saw that I must have left my spare harness and levers way back, but as it took some time and it was already getting dark I didn't return. This time I tried this Mutherload strap from BR and it held up pretty well. Same setup: 29er tube and some levers in case my tubeless setup goes to FUBAR to save while I'm out of the car. It is very important to reduce the weight of the camera and free up space in my waist pack. I try to pack as much on my trail bike frame as possible to allow freedom of movement and make the hip pack less visible. I only use it for my phone and the occasional key when I'm not at home, and my levers and tube are always where I need them on my bike. If you want to minimize the amount of stuff in your bag and want to carry a spare tube, going to CYA for a small amount of money is a pretty reliable way to go, and I don't feel guilty about having to pay a little extra when the need arises for US production and so far good quality that does what it should.
