Handmade in Leipzig, Germany, the Wit Slingers Top Tube Bag comes in a wide assortment of X-Pac colors as well as Cordura. In addition, the bag also has HDPE stiffeners on the side panels, as well as a foam layer on the bottom and front, to help keep its shape.

The Gas Tank was updated in 2022 with a new 3D-welded lid to to better hold its shape and help with a smooth, one-handed operation.I have two favorites that I regularly use: the Revelate MagTank and the Oveja Negra Snack Pack (XL), but I tried the Ortlieb Cockpit-Pack on a recent long trip and really appreciated having a fully waterproof safe haven at the ready for afternoon showers. There’s still one litre of space available and we had no issues storing multiple gels, a tool, phone and mini pump. While he may lack speed, he always retains his positive disposition, probably because he knows a pint will be waiting for him at the end. We believe travel by bicycle has the power to encourage conservation, inclusivity, and respect for all people and cultures.

You can expect all of the same characteristics, but with increased carrying capacity for those looking for some serious snack storage.The bag uses a waterproof TruZip zipper and has fully welded seams, making it 100% waterproof and airtight. liter bag from REI’s in-house brand keeps it simple with one big easy-access zipper compartment for spare tubes and a mini-pump, plus a side pouch for hand wipes or ride fuel. Logan’s Thoughts: I used the Ortlieb Cockpit-Pack on a 1,400 mile scouting trip and really came to like it. Miles’ thoughts: The Top Tube Bag is the first product by Sturdy Bag Designs that I’ve used, and I’m happy to report that the name matches the quality. Another factor in the bag’s impressive stability is a full surround HDPE insert, which is sandwiched between the outer fabric and the inner diamond ripstop liner.
