ApiduraBackcountry Handlebar Pack(Return to Product Page)

I used this bag to bicycle across the US. It is terrific. The attachment is secure, it is completely waterproof, & you can expel all the air from the bag.

I highly recommend it & would not buy any other bag.

I use the Apidura Handlebar Pack on my commute every day. I like that I can put it on any bike, it has a tight little shape that fits between my handlebar curls and stays put when i slam into potholes. It's easy to take on and off and the accessory bag clips on in a very well thought out way. I added a shoulder strap and that worked out great for walking around town. It fits some tools, a chain lock, a change of clothes and some other junk that I carry around with me. Sometimes I take off my jacket or my gloves and tuck them in the crisscross bungees mid ride when I get warmed up, I really love that feature. The accessory pack is a great addition for my wallet, phone, and some snacks.

I purchased this bag for a three day credit card bike trip, where I was also using a seatpost pack for larger items. The bag worked well for smaller items (threw some sandals in there and some extra repair kit stuff, and a paperback book). On a road bike, the space is limited by the distance between your hoods, and that was a bit of a pain to deal with. But the bag didn't move and the bungee in front was great for a light and to hold a lightweight jacket on the outside of the pack.

I have used many of the Apidura products and find them to be quality construction.

liked product not for around town use. hard to roll and unroll for day use.

Compresses to fit inside my drop bars or can really use even more volume if it's on my mtb bike. On the drop bar setup, I can get my tent, rain jacket, puffy jacket, and hat and gloves inside and have just enough room for my hands on the shifters. I later bought the add-on pack that snaps on to this bag for electronics, snacks for the day's ride, and ditty bag items.

Works well, light weight, end rolls provide flexible sizing. Glad I got the larger size. Did use a light velcro strap around the middle to compact loose items and improve tire clearance on my wife's smaller frame. While it mounts pretty easily, items aren't accessible without pulling off bag, so not the place to keep stuff you might need during the day.
