The World Race Gap Year is a big adventure. And you need the right gear for your journey around the world. 

 

A backpack, a tent, and a sleeping bag are the most critical pieces of gear you need for the World Race Gap Year, and with so many options out there, it can feel overwhelming deciding what will be the best gear for you. 

 

At Gear For the Journey, we’ve done the hard work for you, wading through the sea of outdoor gear to find what’s best for World Racers. And best of all, our bundles save you a ton of cash!

Why this gear? As a World Race alum (Original B squad!), I’ve gone through what you are about to experience. Also, I’ve spent the last 3 years working in wilderness therapy, backpacking as a profession. I’ve been working in the Outdoor Industry, testing gear and equipment professionally for a major publication. It’s literally my job to know what gear is solid and what’s not worth your money. So I’ve combed through the gear on the market to find the best combinations of weight, durability, and affordability that can handle the rigors of the World Race.
