Whereas bikepacking baggage usually deal with carrying essentially the most attainable gear with out racks, the Restrap Saddle Pack is a smaller bag for when you could carry just a few further garments, a spare jacket, or loads of journey snacks. Or in the event you pack gentle, you possibly can stuff a lot in right here for some quick fair-weather bank card touring…
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’re on the lookout for their heavy-duty, big-volume Traditional Bikepacking baggage or their light-weight Journey Race vary. However one in all my favourite current baggage from them is the tiny Instrument Pouch. Becoming in between is their Saddle Pack, which had simply been supplied in 4.5L. That’s a very good dimension for light-weight ‘fastpacking’. Nevertheless it’s in all probability too massive for even your longest one-day rides, but perhaps not fairly sufficiently big for many overnighters both.
So Restrap went again to the drafting board to crate a smaller blissful medium. And within the meantime, they fully revamped the unique, too.
What’s new?
The obvious newness is the addition of the smaller 2.5L dimension to the carry-over 4.5L possibility. That’s nice for riders on the lookout for extra in-betweener carrying dimension choices. Or in the event you simply wish to get all of the tuff out of your overstuffed jersey pockets.
However past that, each Saddle Packs are literally all-new. The brand new small-to-mid-sized baggage now add a light-weight plastic internal structue in order that they higher maintain their form, whether or not you stuff them to the brim or depart them empty. That’s particularly useful, because it makes the baggage rather more steady when you could put on the additional layers you had packe inside, as a substitute of getting a flappy empty bag below your saddle when it will get chilly or moist in your journey.
Add on prime of that some redesigned attachment straps on the publish, and Restrap says it sits extra snugly towards your saddle and publish for no sway.
