Again and again, the Topeak Mountain Morph pump is raved about as the pump to have with you if you’re heading off into the great unknown. It’s not the lightest (it weighs 250g) on the market but it’s so so efficient and comes with a mini foot plate to fold out for extra stability. Able to inflate either Presta or Schrader up to 160psi, the pump can be stowed to the frame or tied to a rack. There is only one certainty on a touring holiday: you are going to get punctures. Minimise the time spent repairing them with this.

Price: £27.99, available from To Peak.
