Bikepacking Handlebar Bags
Handlebar bags are ideal bikepacking bags for carrying lightweight but bulky items like sleeping bags and down jackets.
Bikepacking Handlebar Bags
All our handlebar bags are fully waterproof and make use of dual-sided entry points for easy on-the-move access to your gear. The lighter you pack your handlebar bag, the lighter the handling.
Airlok Dual works fine on its own but add a harness for extra stability and tyre clearance. Extend your rig further with additional accessory bags and hooped handlebar bags for a full-blown expedition rig.
