Know before you buy
The pack is designed with a slim-line profile specifically to minimize knee interference. While fit can vary depending on your bike's geometry and your riding style, the narrow shape is intended to keep the bag out of your pedal stroke.
Yes, the pack features a protected battery lead port. This allows you to run a charging cable from a power bank stored inside the bag to your handlebar-mounted device.
The pack is constructed from waterproof Dimension-Polyant VX21 fabric with seam-sealed construction and a waterproof zipper. It is highly weather-resistant and will keep your gear dry in heavy rain and mud, though it is not designed to be submerged.
It attaches using Hypalon-reinforced velcro straps. Hypalon is a durable, rubber-like material that provides a secure grip while minimizing abrasion against your frame's finish.
The long, slim shape is ideal for items you need quick access to, such as energy gels, a multi-tool, a smartphone, or a compact power bank. The internal divider and mesh pocket help keep smaller essentials organized so they don't rattle around.
Yes, the integrated foam base provides a layer of cushioning that absorbs road vibration and impacts. It is particularly helpful if you are carrying electronics or delicate snacks over rough terrain.
