Bikepacking Bags

In recent years, more and more people have approached multi-day cycling trips. As with all other trips, even with the bike it is necessary to have some fundamental objects with you and, for this, the bikepacking bags were born. The bikepacking bags attach directly to the bike, without the luggage rack, and protrude a little out of the frame so as not to weigh on the sides and make the bike unstable. There are different types of bikepacking bags to be applied to different parts of the bicycle: Handlebar bag: attaches between the handlebar and the brakes and can have a size between 10 and 20 lt. Inside it can contain various accessories, small and large, such as, for example, the camping tent, the sleeping bag or the mattress and clothing. The bag must not be excessively charged, so as to always remain firmly in position even when facing rough terrain. Saddle bag: it is the main bag for bikepacking. By means of special buckles it is fixed to the saddle pad and can have a size between 8 and 20 liters. It is generally composed of an outer shell that is more resistant to abrasion and an internal waterproof one to contain the equipment. This bag can carry clothes, food and all the necessary for the trip. The fastening straps to the saddle pad must be firm and tight and, for greater safety, better if the bag is equipped with a rigid stabilization system, internal or external, which prevents any movement. Frame bag: can be applied either in the lower part of the frame or in the upper part. The size and capacity of these bags are variable because they depend, above all, on the size of the frame. This bag is perfect for carrying small items such as accessories for quick repairs. In case of need, if the space available is not sufficient, it is also possible to use smaller bags to attach, for example, to the headset or fork. The bikepacking bag must be made of materials resistant to tearing and abrasions, the quality of the seams and that of the finishes must be excellent.
