Gravel Bag is a weatherproof 5L handlebar bag. With loads of storage and a wide top-loading design, it provides easy access to your kit on long gravel rides and weekend bikepacking trips. The wide entry makes it easier to pack larger items and the roll-top offers flexible storage so you can squeeze in extra food or compress it down to stop your stuff rattling. We've added stretch mesh side pockets and a bungee cord for spare layers or a wet waterproof. Built to last in our UK Factory, Gravel Bag uses hard-wearing waterproof fabrics, protecting your kit from all but the heaviest rain.
