The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Expedition Saddle Pack from British bicycle accessories brand Apidura is spacious and waterproof. It is available in different capacities (9, 14 and 17 litres). Particularly robust, the Expedition range is designed for long journeys, but is also suitable for everyday use.
The 3-layer laminated fabric specially developed for Apidura is both lightweight and hard-wearing. The seams of this Bikepacking pannier are welded, so you can ride in the rain or mud without worrying about the gear inside.
It's easy to attach thanks to Velcro straps that pass behind the seat tube. A strap with two Woojin buckles passes over the seat rails. These attachment points are made from hypalon, a material that is resistant to abrasion. This three-point attachment system prevents any movement or swaying, and a thermoplastic shell consolidates the shape of the saddlebag at the bottom.
The saddlebag closes by rolling up and using two buckles. This makes it possible to load the bag to a greater or lesser extent. There's an elastic band at the top to hold a jacket or a baguette, and two loops for attaching a lighting system.
The Apidura Expedition Saddle Pack is ideal for carrying clothes and equipment on long rides.
