Apidura Backcountry Rear Top Tube Pack
Best waterproof storage for bikepackers needing quick access to essentials.
Hey there! Check out the Apidura Backcountry Top Tube Pack, a super convenient and secure spot to keep your frequently used items, whether you're tackling a tough trail or just cruising on your daily commute. This mountain bike top tube bag is perfect for stashing snacks, small valuables, and even your electronic devices. It attaches firmly to your top tube using Hypalon-reinforced Velcro straps designed to minimize frame abrasion. Accessing your gear on the go is a breeze thanks to the one-finger zipper puller, and the fully waterproof zipper keeps everything inside safe from water and dirt. Plus, it features closed-cell foam padding to protect your items from bumps, an internal pocket for organization, and a battery lead port so you can charge devices while riding. It's built tough using Dimension-Polyant VX21 and proprietary 420D nylon, both laminated fabrics originally developed for the maritime industry, ensuring full waterproofing, light weight, low stretch, and high resistance to abrasion and tearing. The seams are welded for a watertight seal, making sure this pack stays completely waterproof. For care, just hand wash with a mild diluted soap if needed and let it air dry—no machine washing, drying, or ironing!
