Combining RF welded seams and traditional sewing enables us to make a completely waterproof and practical zippered bag. No roll-top closure, just an easy to open zippered main compartment that’s always dry. You can protect the front and side pockets from the elements with an Arkel raincover.
Add or remove your handlebar bag in a snap with the sturdy mount. We chose an aluminium attachment system for the simple reason that compared to plastic, it won't break in extreme conditions.
Proudly Made in Canada
All of our bags, panniers and accessories are designed in our Canadian office. When it comes to the production and assembly of the Handlebar Bag Classic, it is hand-sewn in our production facility in Sherbrooke.
