Sometimes, all it takes is a saddlebag to completely change the way you travel by bike.
You head out for a day, then tell yourself: why not stay one more night? A few clothes, a rain jacket, some sleeping gear… and suddenly, your jersey pockets aren't enough.
The RESTRAP Saddle Bag Orange 18L + Dry Bag is designed precisely for these moments. A large bikepacking saddlebag that lets you carry the essentials without turning your bike into a touring machine loaded with racks.
18 LITERS FOR ADVENTURE
With its 18-liter capacity, this bag offers a generous volume for cycling getaways.
You can pack spare clothes, a warm layer, a waterproof jacket, or some of your bivouac equipment.
It is particularly well-suited for cyclists who enjoy heading out for the weekend, discovering new routes, or trying their first self-supported trip.
And there's no need to be an experienced adventurer: it’s also an excellent solution for those who want to try bikepacking without completely modifying their bike.
THE REAL PLUS: A WATERPROOF BAG THAT REMOVES IN SECONDS
This is probably what makes this RESTRAP so practical.
It uses a two-part system: a rigid support, called a holster, remains fixed to the bike, while the 18-liter waterproof Dry Bag slides inside.
When you arrive at your destination, you simply remove the inner bag with your belongings. No need to disassemble the entire setup.
At a hotel, campsite, or during a break, this is a real game-changer.
The Dry Bag is designed to protect its contents from the rain, with a rated IP6K6 waterproofness. Enough to set off with greater peace of mind when the weather becomes unpredictable.
NO RACK NEEDED
The other advantage of the RESTRAP Saddle Bag is its ease of installation.
It attaches under the saddle and around the seat post using straps, without drilling or permanent mounting hardware.
This is particularly interesting for road and gravel bikes that may not have a rear rack.
The support has a reinforced structure designed to limit the lateral movement of the bag. A FIDLOCK™ magnetic buckle also facilitates closure and adjustment, even when wearing gloves.
It remains important to check the available clearance between the saddle and the rear wheel, as well as compatibility with your seat post, before installation.
WHO IS THIS BAG FOR?
The RESTRAP Saddle Bag 18L is ideal if you identify with any of these situations:
-
You are new to bikepacking: you want to carry enough gear for a first two- or three-day adventure.
-
You ride gravel: you like to leave familiar routes and go exploring without being weighed down.
-
You travel by road bike: you prefer a lightweight setup, without a traditional rack.
-
You go on long rides: you want to keep space for extra clothing and gear.
For just a spare tube and a multitool, a small bag will be more suitable. But as soon as you start planning nights away, the 18 liters make perfect sense.
A BAG BUILT TO LAST
RESTRAP manufactures its bags by hand in Yorkshire, UK.
The Saddle Bag combines durable textured nylon, reinforced straps, and reflective details. At 645 grams, it remains relatively lightweight given its volume and structure.
The orange version also adds a very successful pop of color, especially on a gravel or road bike with subdued tones.
And for cyclists who plan on doing many trips, RESTRAP offers a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
