["Bags for adventurers","Bikepacking","Gravel","Made in Canada","waterproof"]
This is a great multiusage bag for bikepacking expeditions or your day trip exploring dirt roads around town.
Its internal sealed liner is waterproof and will keep your gear dry.
- Nylon webbing attachment straps combined with Fidlock clips make the attachment system fit several bike frame geometries and perform true mud, rain, or snow for years.
- 100% waterproof to carry safely your electronics, no matter how bad the sky is pouring on you.
- The YKK #8 waterproof zipper is easy to operate thanks to the tight attachment.
- Design to fits with 1 or 2 water bottles
- It easily packs and holds tools, food, or extra clothing because of its big opening.
- Offer an ethical bag made in Canada with recycled & Carbon neutral fabric.
Make sure it fits your bike frame:
Here are templates you can print and put on your frame to make sure its the right size.
Make sure it is really tight to facilitate the zipping & un zipping.
*As a general rule ;
small bags fits on X-small, small and medium bikes,
- 100% Waterproof with a TPU liner and sealed seams.
- Large #8 waterproof YKK zipper.
- No large velcros to handle.
- Always under tension for easy zipper action.
- XPac RX30 Recycled & Carbon neutral Fabric and Cordura 1000D nylon in critical zones.
- Quick 3-point attachment strap system with straps that won't interfere with top tube packs.
- Always under tension for easy zipper action.
- Made in Canada.
To determine the best size for your bike frame:
1. Print the templates in the "Why We Made This" section to determine which size best fits your frame.
2. These templates are exactly the size of the bags and can be cut and fitted inside your frame to determine the fit.
3. These bags are designed to be stretched tight inside your frame at each of the 3 attachment points. If the bag can't be stretched tight, operating the zipper will be difficult. When in doubt, choose the smaller size.
