Sustainability and Product Care
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.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
End of life
