Restrap Saddle Pack, now in medium 4.5L or small 2.5L
Most of my expertise with Restrap is for his or her devoted bikepacking bag setups, whether or not you might be searching for their heavy-duty, big-volume Basic Bikepacking baggage or their light-weight Journey Race vary. However one in every of my favourite latest baggage from them is the tiny Software Pouch. Becoming in between is their Saddle Pack, which had simply been supplied in 4.5L. That’s measurement for light-weight ‘fastpacking’. Nevertheless it’s in all probability too massive for even your longest one-day rides, but possibly not fairly large enough for many overnighters both.

Add on high of that some redesigned attachment straps on the put up, and Restrap says it sits extra snugly towards your saddle and put up for no sway.
