It seems like i did the classic "bag on car roof as you drive off" trick the other day. So i'm in the market for some new bits n bobs, please recommend any decent replacements!

Did have:
bag - Camelbak Mayhem
pump - Crank Bros Power Pump alloy
minitool - Topeak Alien 2
+ various first aid bits n bobs.

So looking for any other recommendations. i had no problems with what i had but thought i'd take the chance to try new kit maybe.
thanks!

    FYI this is what i thought of the previous bits of kit:

    the mayhem camelbak - although "big" at 12L+3L hydration - it seemed to struggle with larger amounts of luggage - jackets etc. Could be that i didn't have straps done correctly. Thinking of maybe a Dakine Nomad pack (too big for smaller journeys?, maybe one of those wingnut splitback's.
    Has anyone tried a dakine hydration bladder?

    the alien 2 minitool, i have no worries with at all and am fully expecting to buy another but does anyone feel different?

    the crank bros power pump alloy minipump. only used in anger a few times but seemed ok. a fair bit of effort even at low <20psi pressures with high volume mode on. liked the gauge and the easy / seemingly reliable way swapping of valve type (not a topeak smarthead which i've had fail or the type where you need to swap interiors).
