["Bags for adventurers","Bikepacking","Gravel","Made in Canada","waterproof"]
C'est un très bon sac multi-usage autant pour tes voyages en bikepacking ou tes excursions d'une journée à explorer les routes en gravel des alentours.
Caractéristiques:
- Un sac performant et solide peu importe les conditions: boue, pluie ou neige, et ce, pendant plusieurs années.
- 100% imperméable pour garder tes appareils électroniques au sec même quand le ciel se déverse sur toi.
- Grande ouverture facile pour ranger des outils, des collations ou des vêtements sans s'arrêter.
- Fermeture éclaire s'ouvre sans effort grâce à la tension du sac.
- Un sac éthique, fabriqué au Canada avec du tissu recyclé et carboneutre.
Assure-toi que le sac soit de la bonne grandeur pour ton cadre:
Voici 3 gabarits à imprimer et à installer sur le cadre pour être certain que le fit est bon.
*En règle générale le sac medium fait sur un cadre de vélo moyen ou large. Le sac large fait sur un cadre de vélo X Large.
- 100 % étanche.
- Système de sangle d'attache à 3 points.
- Pas de gros velcros à manipuler.
- Les sangles n'interfèrent pas avec le sac sur le cadre supérieur s'il y a lieue.
- Toujours sous tension pour une action facile de la fermeture éclair.
- Tissu XPac RX30 recyclé et carboneutre et nylon Cordura 1000D dans les zones critiques.
- 100 % étanche avec une doublure en TPU et des coutures étanches.
- Grande fermeture à glissière YKK imperméable n ° 8.

Pour déterminer la meilleure taille de sac pour votre cadre de vélo :
1. Imprimez les modèles disponibles dans la section ''Pourquoi nous l'avons conçu" pour déterminer quelle taille conviendra le mieux à votre cadre.
2. Ces modèles ont exactement la taille des sacs et peuvent être coupés et ajustés à l'intérieur de votre cadre pour déterminer l'ajustement.
3. Ces sacs sont conçus pour être tendus à l'intérieur de votre cadre par 3 points d'attache. Si le sac ne peut pas être tendu, cela rendra difficile l'utilisation de la fermeture éclair. En cas de doute, choisissez la taille plus petite.

I bought the 2.5L version of this bag to upgrade from a Blackburn 0.7L frame bag I currently use. The 0.7L bag actually holds significantly more, so I've just kept using the old bag. I am able to fit a spare 29" MTB tube, multitool and other spare parts like a hanger, fibre spokes, tyre levers and patches. In the new frame bag, I could not even fit in the spare tube. Not even close. I measured the frame bag and it's only 2.5cm thick externally: I did the maths and it's actual size is 1.0L, but holds less because of the lining. It would need to be 5.7cm thick internally to have a volume of 2.5L. Regardless of actual volume, it's really difficult to put anything at all in the bag as the lining is very loose and grabby, things just stick to the liner and it's really difficult to push them in. I wasn't able to get my phone in the bag either. Luckily the Roll Packer I bought at the same time does meet capacity and is very good, so I haven't needed this bag. I tried it for a day on my commuting road bike, but the difficulty actually putting things inside the bag meant it ended up in my spare parts box. Basically, bad research on my part, I only looked at the size of the bag in profile outline and hadn't considered the depth.

Hi Cal, we're really sorry to hear about your experience with the 2.5L bag, especially given the issues you needed with storage capacity and the interior lining. We greatly value your feedback and have shared it with our product team. Let's make this right! Please reach our team at info@arkel.ca or go directly to our return web page if you want to return this bag to us so we may assist in finding a suitable solution. Arkel Team.

Choisir un produit Arkel c'est toujours faire le bon choix. Pourquoi ? Pour le design pratique fait par des gens qui ont fait du vélo, beaucoup de vélo et pour la qualité du produit.

Does not seem to store to its capacity due to grabby liner.
Robert
Verified buyer
I like this bag for a lot of features, but the capacity just seems compromised by the waterproof liner. It seems to grab things and not allow 'stuffing'. It really feels like the capacity is limited not by the outer bag, but by the inner waterproof liner bag. It looks like it could hold 2 roll sandwiches or 2 burritos. In practice, no. For 2 separate trips this has frustrated me.
I really like the 3 straps that act to restrain vertically and horizontally, though after pulling the bag from the closet after many months, it took me a minute to get my head around how to tie up.
The bag is just about max for my frame, so I was glad to select it as such. The outline print outs really help.

Great product for the price

Good companion for the GDMBR - Used it constantly every day for 65 days across America.
So waterproof it's not funny. Zip quality is high & the strap functionality is fantastic. Easy to set up, easy to remove. Looks pretty nice too. I had the 4L & it didn't get in the way of my legs even when fully loaded.
You can get a surprising amount of gear in these bags, mine was like the Tardis. Treats I forgot about from day 1? Priceless.

Another superior Arkel product!
Harold G.
Verified buyer
Arkel frame bag is exactly as advertised. Superior product with tremendous workmanship. Installs easily and is a very attractive addition to the bike. Arkel advises to measure carefully in order to be certain of the size to purchase. Our measurements told us a small bag would be appropriate and it fit perfectly. The bike has two Arkel pannier bags, but this frame bag is great for keys, wallets, glasses, etc that you may want to access easily and quickly without the need to dig in a larger storage bag. And, similar to the pannier bags, the frame bag is waterproof as promised. Well worth the cost for a quality product!
