This is a game-changer for cyclists. The team at Outer Shell set out to reinvent the large handlebar bag — designing a bikepacking bag that won’t rub your front wheel, collapse onto your head tube, or bounce around on rough trails. Their solution: a laser cut aluminium frame sewn inside the bag that acts exactly like a lightweight front rack. Perfect for cyclists who want a super-secure setup for bikepacking and trail adventures
In addition to the large capacity of the main bag compartment, there is more storage from the 2 stretchable side pockets, a front sleeve pocket and a zipped top pocket. These together with the waterproof liner, weatherproof fabric (1000D Cordura) and their signature one handed draw string closurekeep your gear dry in any conditions
If you still need more storage, you can use the top flap like a cargo strap to cinch down your sleeping bag, or even a large item like a skateboard - the straps will keep the item from falling through the bag, and the internal frame provides additional support for the weight
The internal light coloured lining helps you to find what you need easier. The bag also comes with D-Ring attachments for a shoulder strap so you can easily carry the bike bag when you finish your ride
"No matter how much gear was in the bag, there were practically no wiggles, sags, or movement. It seems like the internal aluminum frame, anti-sag strap, and thoughtful design are all working in tandem to accomplish this. The Mega Bar Bag is easily one of the most stable top-loading bags I’ve used."bikepaking.com
