Our bike bags are made in Canada.
EcoPak is 100% waterproof, lightweight, eco-friendly, and strong. Cordura is strong, rugged, and highly water-resistant. Because our bags are fully lined, it’s more a choice of aesthetics than water resistance – but our goal is to slowly replace Cordura fabrics with EcoPak variants.
Yes, possibly. However, you’ll need to cover, or fully fund, the cost of sourcing your special fabric since we can’t afford to stock unused materials.
EcoPak is 100% waterproof.
Our Paskal zipper is as good as it gets. This zipper is different from others, such as the YKK coil zipper, as it features off-set teeth. When standard coil zippers are zipped up, there is a gap between the teeth that allows splashing water to penetrate. With Pakal’s off-set teeth, this gap is eliminated, making these zippers very water-resistant.
Our bags are not waterproof, but they are pretty close to it. We fully line our bags, use high-quality water-resistant zippers, composite and PU-backed fabrics, and use smart construction techniques to maximize water resistance.
We suggest carrying a few extra plastic bags with you if you’re expecting rain, for your electronics and valuables.
We use Challenge Outdoor’s RBC (recycled bag cloth) fabric. It’s bright orange so you can easily see what’s inside the contents of your bag.
Recycled Bag Cloth by Challenge Outdoors is a recycled polyester liner fabric with an environmentally friendly C0 DWR on the outside and a water-resistant PU coating on the inside.
Each yard recycles about 10 plastic bottles and saves about one pound of carbon emissions, compared to standard nylon or polyester bag fabric.
A bag attached to the bicycle with Velcro or cord will wear on frame paint over time. We suggest applying paint protection tape (also called helicopter tape) before installing your bag if wear on paint is a concern for you.
Maybe but probably not. Between the things we are already currently prototyping and the orders coming in, there is not a lot of time for additional product development. But we welcome your suggestions!
If you gear needs cleaning, we recommend washing with a mild detergent and hanging to dry outside.
If you plan to use a water bladder, consider a full-frame bag with a divider.
Half-frame bags are perfect for if you still want to use regular water bottle cages.
Typically 2 3/8 – 2.5″ wide at the seams, expanding larger when full.
A half-frame bag will be an excellent choice for a gravel bike. We custom-size the bag around your water bottles for maximum storage capacity.
The zippered side pocket add-on adds a great place to store a phone. If you want a custom stretch-mesh pocket on the bag we can do that for a fee.
Secure checkout is provided by Stripe – (credit card), Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
We could, but usually it’s more work. Ask us first.
All our prices are listed and processed in Canadian dollars (CAD). There is a currency changer at the bottom for your convenience for visualizing USD temporarily while shopping.
In Canada, if your revenue is $30,000 or less in a year, you’re considered a “small supplier” and do not need to register for or charge GST/HST.
We did, but are gradually phasing out local pickup. Feel free to reach out to confirm if it’s available for you, but we’re shifting towards Canada Post for everything.
