And with the holiday season now fresh in our rearview mirrors, now is the perfect time to snag yourself that special something you’ve had your eye on. To help kick off your search, we’ve rounded up some of the latest and greatest items available on the online retail platform for this curated guide to this month’s best gear on Amazon.

MMXZ 25L Moto Hard Shell Backpack
Equipped with a rigid shell mated to a special harness design, the MMXZ 25L Moto Hard Shell Backpack is a fully waterproof, two-wheel-specific carry solution that conforms to and hugs its wearer’s back, rather than dancing around during movement and throwing off its wearer’s balance while they ride.
