I've won a £50 Alpkit voucher, and am not sure what to spend it on, so looking for recommendations. For the right item I would be prepared to top up to £100. Anything bikepacking (but not bags), or clothing related really. Are there any outstanding bits of kit in that price range?
Edit: and please post links to said items so that STW can get their percentage if applicable.
I like my one of these as a packable jacket

Not for biking, but their Bloc bouldering trousers are great for general slob about wearing/ post - riding wear. I don’t rock-climb any more, but I’ve got 2 pair bought in sales, they’re obviously popular ‘cos they were (iirc) about £40 when they came out, but i think they’re about £65 now!
Second the Griffon. We're up to seven between us in our household.
I'll third the Griffon, as I'm sat wearing one.
The ordinary Alpkit/Sonder t-shirts are decent quality as well
The Heikon jacket is outstanding. I wear mine at home when working and house is a bit cold. I wear it outside everyday from May to Oct. It really is great
Yep, Griffon is great for the money, super versatile bit of clothing.
I use my Morphosis jacket all the time: https://alpkit.com/products/morphosis-jacket-mens#product-content?variant=32375483236457
also have a pair of stretchy cordura jeans which have been great.
Another vote for the Griffon (I have 2)
I went to have a look as so many thought is was great. pretty much out of stock in all sizes..
I like the sequence jeans.
These are my favourite work trousers.
I really need another pair, I just wish they did more colours.
Griffon again, if you don't own another grid fleece. And if you don't own a grid fleece , you should
I really like the Floe riding trousers, and second the Bloc trousers for general loafing.
The Mantua silk sleeping bag liner is very good.
Something warm. That you keep in a backpack for a time when you stop doing whatever activity you were doing and start to feel a bit chilly. Always great comfort when you've something warm to throw on, made better by the fact you got it for free.
Heiko or Katabatic jackets for keeping warm.
Id be getting myself another Alpkit Woodsmoke shirt, if i only had to put £25 of my own cash to it: https://alpkit.com/products/woodsmoke-mens-thermocore-mountain-shirt?variant=40435778027625
Got mine (green version) in a sale and have looking at getting another ever since, but normally too spendy...
Griffon is ace
I also really like the morphosis jacket.
Base layer + Griffon + morphosis is my go to clobber for walking in shoulder season conditions like we have now, when it's not too wet. Just the right amount of warmth and protection from a bit of showery light rain and wind.
Brukit is alright as a jetboil clone. Note it is on the bigger side, so heavier and more difficult to pack...but you can also get more water in it.
I also really like the sequence jeans
Thanks everyone!
I'll probably go for a Griffon when back in stock.
I'd recommend the Woodsmoke shirt but the price has totally shot up in the last couple of years. It's still ace (I have 3) but wow its spendy now
Griffon are down to £40.99 today and the 17% off EAST17 works on them too:
