Frame Bag
Basics and Features
BASIC / INCLUSIVE
Choose your favorite Color / Fabric
We offer waterproof materials and fabrics which are especially suited for frame bags. We recommend the Ecopak 200 and Expedition X-Pac series for light and strong bags. These Materials are UV-resistant, waterproof and stiff enough to give your frame bag a perfect shape. We also offer UL (ultra light) - Materials (around 100g). Frame bags made of that materials has to be handled with care.
BASIC / INCLUSIVE
Main compartment
Choose your favorite main compartment side. Our recommendation is the side were you get on and off the bike. It also depends how you pack your bag, if you lie-down the bike (probably onto the Non-drive side) and if you are right-handed or left-handed. Choose the best side for your requirements!
We use YKK Profile Zippers. The zipper is protected with a flap. The Zipper puller is in front of the bag (head tube direction).
Good to know:
Our basic YKK profile Zippers (uncoated) are smooth-running and super strong. The tooths are most insusceptible against dust, sand and overpacking, like no other Zipper we testet over the last years. Because they aren’t coated we hide and protect them with a flap.
Feature / EXTRA:
Flat document compartment
The flat document compartment is outside, at the opposite side of your main compartment, made with YKK Aquaguard Zipper, without a flap. The Zipper puller is in front of the bag (head tube direction).
Good to know:
This Extra compartment is an recommendation for more comfort, for packing or re-packing small and important things very fast and safe. You can use the Zipper easy while cycling. Because YKK Aquaguard Zippers are are sensitive against overpacking, we use them for the less strained document compartment side.
