2012 Catalog of Cycling Bags - Inertia Designs

2012 Catalog 

of Cycling Bags

All 

of our 

bags are 

made in the USA 

both of which are 100% recyclable. 

About Us 

Inertia Designs is the premier United States manufacturer of quality cycling 

packs. Inertia was started in 1998 to fill the needs of serious cyclists who 

demand the most from themselves and their equipment; whether it be racing, 

training, touring or commuting. 

Inertia Designs has also developed bags and products for many of the leading 

companies in the cycling industry. Years of experience has taught us how to 

develop products quickly, efficiently, and to the highest standards of quality. 

Every Inertia product is made with the same care we would use if we were 

making the bag for our own daily use. All products have a lifetime warranty, but 

we make our products so well you will probably never need to use it! 

Inertia Designs Philosophy 

Still Made in the USA 

All Inertia Designs products have been made in the USA since we started back in 1998. Our first reason for keeping it HERE is it just seems 

like the RIGHT thing to do. We find that we can have much greater control over materials and workmanship being that design, purchasing 

and production are all under one roof. This also allows us to offer our custom BRANDING program to the cycling industry at very low 

minimums and with extremely high quality. 

100% Lifetime Guarantee makes it GREEN 

From an environmental point of view, Inertia Designs bags are and excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint. All our bags make it easier 

for people to carry cargo, and reduce the need to use a car to get things from A to B. That is step one. Step two is our bomb proof designs; 

our stuff will last for years, you’ll probably end up giving it to a friend so you can get a new one before you wear one of our bags out. This 

reduces more trash in the landfill. On top of that all of our stiffeners are High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and most hardware is aluminum 

Mission At Inertia Designs we have a two main goals: 1) To make the best quality, most durable and innovative bags possible. 2) Offer extremely high quality 

embroidery to put the logos of bike stores, teams, and charity/event rides on those bags to help better brand their organizations by offering competitive pricing 

and easy minimums. 

Goal 1: QUALITY To make the best bags you need three ingredients: innovative design, superior materials, and a skilled production staff. 

Design At Inertia Designs, we strive to innovate not just duplicate. All of our products are thoroughly thought out for the real world. From the simple addition of 

14 oz truck tarp to all our wedges which provides flexible rigidity, to the heat-sealed bag-in-a-bag water-tight Monsoon Panniers. We also think about the fundamentals 

and protect all seams with nylon binding tape and bar tacks or box tacks at all stress points for durability. 

Materials The best design made out of inferior materials equals a sum total of junk. The main fabric used on all Inertia Designs bags is Cordura® Nylon. Cordura® 

may not be as sexy as some shinny rip-stop (at least brand new in the store) but it wears like iron and stays looking good for years (look at the best luggage and 

mountaineering packs; they are made with Cordura® Nylon). Other components include YKK zippers with silent nickel plated sliders, 100% recyclable HDPE plastic 

stiffeners, 3M Reflective Material, durable cross-linked foams, stainless steel and aircraft aluminum pannier hardware, and well engineered buckles and closures. 

Craftsmanship/Quality Control The final, most important step in any bag is the people who put them to together. We employ only the most experienced 

operators and best machinery possible ensuring that every Inertia Designs bag is of the highest quality. Automated machinery is used when possible to increase 

production quality and efficiency. Every Inertia Designs bag is inspected at every stage of production again assuring quality, inside and out. 

Goal 2: BRANDING All Inertia Designs bags can be custom embroidered with logos at very economical quantities. There are some serious logistics involved in 

getting from a graphic design to a high quality embroidery on your bags, but that is what we do. All you need to do is provide us with a logo, what bags you want 

and we do the rest.

At Inertia we worry about these things all the time, because it is not just A bag, it is YOUR bag.

Note On Dimensions and Volume 

Dimensions are listed in order of length, width and height. On some open or 

expandable bags specific volume is difficult to determine; in these cases we 

filled the bag to an average (not over-stuffed) fill level and listed that volume. 

Bags with expansion or storm sleeves will have two volumes listed: standard 

volume/expanded volume. 

Washing Instructions 

Inertia Designs products should be hand washed with a mild soap as needed. 

Rinse thoroughly with clean water and air dry. Do not machine wash or dry! 

Warranty/Return Information 

Warranty Inertia Designs guarantees its products and workmanship for life. We 

will repair or replace the defective item at our discretion, for the original owner, 

at no charge. All items must be washed prior to returning.

Custom Branding … It’s got YOUR name on it. 

Branding is Inertia Designs’ primary niche. We started embroidering store logos soon after the company was founded in 1998. Three embroidery machines 

later (only one that caught fire) and a lot of bags out the door and we have it pretty well figured out. 

A custom bag will stay on a bike for YEARS. The not so secret ingredient to our program is that we do EXTREMELY high quality digitizing (setting your graphics 

to stitching) and we have the BEST embroidery machine on the market. We also are NOT happy until you are happy with your final embroidery design …. It 

is YOUR logo and your BRAND so we HAVE to get it right. 

C 

WHAT WE NEED: 

1. Get us your logo. Digital is best (tif, eps, jpeg, bmp, or ai) but we 

will take business cards, napkins with drawings on them, etc. (color 

helps). 

2. Alternate logo colors as necessary. (e.g. Red logo; red shirt sub to 

black logo) 

3. We digitize your logo (convert from graphics to stitches). 

4. We e-mail you a scan of the sewn embroidery for you to approve. 

We can physically mail one too, if you like. 

5. We make and/or embroider your stuff.

Inertia Designs Custom Bag Program

COLORS 

In addition to the added features of the Pro Series, each bag can be customized with multiple fabric colors on different panels. (note wedge sides must match each 

other but can be different from the center panel). 

Colors/Seat Wedges 

PRO WEDGE SERIES 

Inertia Pro Wedges are for riders who demand the best. In addition to our standard bomb-proof construction and superior materials, all Pro Wedges have 

YKK Uretek water repellent zippers to keep water, dust and grime out or your gear. All bags have a side release buckle on the strap for positive attachment 

no matter how big the drop or long the climb. At the seat post we used One Wrap with molded hook and super soft loop to prevent snagging your shorts. 

The bidirectional hook and loop can be wrapped around the seat post with the tail to the right or left as you prefer for a perfect fit. The reflective strips on 

all bags have added bar tacks for more stability when attaching a flasher. All bags also have two interior pockets one on the side for tire levers, etc., and on 

the back flap for cash, ID and keys.

The interior of the Mini Cargo, Cargo 

2, Super Cargo, and Cargo Supreme is 

lined with 14 oz truck tarp. There are 

also two interior pockets to organize 

your tools, etc. and protect inner tubes 

from abrasion. 

MINI CARGO WEDGE 

Fabric: Cordura® 

Volume: 32 ci 




For road riders and 700c commuters, 

the Mini Cargo has a rear hatch for 

easy access, 14 oz truck tarp interior, 

two internal pockets for tire levers and 

change (like the Pro Series) and an 

exterior Scotchlite Reflective Material 

Strip that doubles as a 

flasher loop. 

SUPER CARGO WEDGE The big brother of the Cargo Wedge. With 

25% more space, 14 oz truck tarp and two 

internal pockets for tire levers, keys, and 

change (like the Pro Series), this is the perfect 

wedge for riders who need a bit more 

room for an epic endurance ride or a ride 

around the park with the family. Dual zipper 

sliders keep your stuff in control even if 

you tend to overstuff 

it. A rear Scotchlite 

Reflective Material Strip adds visibility and a solid attachment 

point for a flasher. 


Volume: 49 ci 

Attachment: cinch strap 

COLOR OPTIONS 

Standard Seat Wedges are available in Standard Cordura®colors only. DP fabrics are available in Pro Series only. 

PROTON WEDGE The consummate roadie wedge. Just enough room for a tube, patch kit, tire irons, 

and some phone change. The rear hatch style entry eliminates the access problems 

associated with most tiny wedges, and the Scotchlite Reflective Material strip doubles as a strobe loop. 

Fabric: Cordura® Dimensions: 5”x 2”x 3.5” 

Volume: 24 ci 




Weight: 3 oz 

CARGO WEDGE 

For road riders needing a bit more room 

or the minimalist mountain biker. The rear 

entry cargo wedge ensures a secure closure and quick access to tubes 

and tools. The interior walls are lined with 14 oz truck tarp creating a 

nearly indestructible shell. There is an interior key hook 

and the rear reflective strip doubles as a strobe loop. 


Volume: 39 ci 


Dimensions: 5.5”x 4”x 4” 


CARGO WEDGE WITH BUCKLE We added a side-release buckle to the main straps of our time 

tested Cargo Wedge for those who like to take big drops or just 

tend to push the weight limit of hook and loop attachments. Custom only. 

CARGO 2 WEDGE 


Volume: 39 ci 


with buckle 

Dimensions: 

5.5”x 4”x 4” 



Volume: 41 ci 





The Cargo 2 is the missing member of the 

Cargo Family. Sized right in between the Mini 

Cargo and the Super Cargo, it shares their 

durable 14 oz truck tarp interior and two 

inside pockets (like the Pro Series) to hold all 

your tools and two tubes. A 3M® reflective 

strip on the back also holds 

your flasher at night. 

CARGO SUPREME WEDGE 

If you need a bigger bag than the 

Cargo Supreme it is time to seriously 

consider panniers. The Supreme is 

perfect for Epic Rides where you want 

to carry multiple tubes, extra tools, 

food, or a spare Tubular for a Road 

Bike. Also for the more domesticated 

the Supreme is perfect for Comfort 

Bikes with a coil lock camera and 

other gear. Two 

interior pockets 

help organize and the hook and loop straps are backed up 

by a side release buckle to keep the bag secure.

two mountain tubes, multi-tool, patch kit, 

energy bar, and a couple of dollars. The 

entire front half of the Trail, top, bottom 

and sides is lined with 14 oz truck tarp to 

prevent wear points at the seat post or seat 

rails. Two top lash points allow adjustment 

to any seat and the quick release cinch 

strap is extra long to store bulky items 

below the bag. For on-road night safety we also added a rear strobe loop. Oh,

LOCK LOOP 

If you’re tired of holes in your pocket, the Lock Loop is the 

solution. Fits on most belts. Two sizes: small for mini locks; 

large for standard.

PORTAGE PACK The origin of the portage pack goes back to the days of 

ancient history (even before front suspension) when it was 

the norm to carry your bike over technical terrain instead of riding it, amazing. 

These days it's still a handy place to stash gear, mounting under the top tube 

and in front of the seat tube. Or, if you live in a third floor walk-up, it helps too. 

The Portage also features 3M Scotchlite 

Reflective Material on both sides of the bag for 

added safety.

LOCK POCKET The Lock Pocket is a great bag 

for Urban Riders. The medium 

size pouch has a large main pocket, flat front 

pocket and a clear pocket under the top flap wide 

enough to keep the elements out and your gear 

dry. The rear loop will fit on any size belt and has 

a rear sleeve to hold a 

U lock. D-rings on 

each side can be used 

to clip on keeps or add 

a strap for off bike 

use.

AERO PANNIERS Designed to complement our Wide Load Recumbent Bag, 

these panniers are equally at home on a recumbent or conventional 

bike. The extreme aero design, has rigid HDPE side panels and a 1/4” 

foam backed lid. 3M® Scotchlite® Reflective Material adds visibility, and a top 

bungee grid holds extra gear. Combined with the Aero Rack 

Trunk, you'll have enough space to pack all your gear and that 

pesky kitchen sink.

TRIANGLE BAG When you need quick access to gear on the fly, the triangle bag is 

hard to beat. Three hook and loop straps secure the bag to the top 

tube, while a dual cam buckle system stabilizes the bag to either the seat tube or down 

tube depending on how you orient it. One flat pocket and one dimensional pocket are 

accessed through zippers at the top edge of the pack. The large pocket has an interior 

hook and loop strap to secure a mini-pump or tool roll. 


Color: Black 


Dimensions: 15”x 1.5”x 6” 


Note: Cut off the excess webbing once you 

have adjusted the cam buckle system to your bike. 

RECUMBENT BAG With the growing popularity of Recumbent Bikes there 

has been a serious shortage of bags that will fit them. 

Until now that is. The Inertia Recumbent bag fits every bike we have seen, with 

its five point mounting system. An internal insulated sleeve holds a 1 liter bladder 

(not included) and velcro loops (included) route the hose right to where 

you need it. Extra gear can go in the rear flat pocket or front mesh pocket. Any 

of our three pannier pockets will attach to the side straps. A shoulder strap is 

included for off bike convenience.

Aero Panniers 


Colors: Black, Red, Yellow 



Weight: 14 oz 

NOTE: Due to the varied configurations of different 

recumbent bikes, you may not need all of the included 

straps. 

AERO RACK TRUNK The Aero is a hybrid rack trunk designed in unison 

with our Aero Panniers. The unit’s shape comes from 

an ABS plastic inner frame united with end and top panels of 2# cross-linked 

foam providing large volume with very little weight. There is an internal mesh 

pocket for small items and a bungee grid on the top for extra 

storage. Top ”D” Rings will accept a shoulder strap (optional). 


Colors: Black, Yellow 

Attachment: four point hook 

and loop 



Weight: 18 oz 


(page 17)

WIDE LOAD RECUMBENT The Wide Load is designed to fit over the mesh seat back of most recumbent bikes 

without hurting your bank account. A mesh sleeve slips over the seat back and can be 

tensioned with an interior webbing strap. Hook and loop straps at the top and bottom of the bag can be secured 

to cross bars and/or used to store excess gear. An internal insulated sleeve holds a 2 liter bladder and a center exit 

port allows for easy hose routing. The top bungee can be reconfigured as needed to store extra clothing. An HDPE 

stiffener keeps the Wide Load's shape while two angled 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material strips add safety. 

D-rings allow for the addition of a shoulder strap for off the bike convenience. 


Color: Black, Yellow 


SHORTIE RACK TRUNK The Shortie attaches securely to standard or seat 

post racks with four hook and loop strips. 2# foam 

adds insulation and padding for up to six cans of refreshment, some big ass 

sandwiches or other gear of choice. ”D” rings allow for attachment of an 

optional shoulder strap.

Instructions for Securing Water-Tight Bags 

We describe our bags as water-tight, not water-proof, for the sake of clarity. No 

sewn or welded bag from any manufacturer can sustain submersion for continuous 

hours (as in tied to rock at the bottom of a lake for two days). Our roll 

top bag in a bag design (when rolled a minimum of three times) will keep your 

gear extremely dry in any sort of rain storm or river crossing and can stay submerged 

for many minutes at a time. 

1. Join hook and loop 

strips to close top of 

bag. 

2. Roll top edge of bag 

down until snug with 

contents (minimum of 

three rolls). 

3. Clip buckle to 

mating half

RACK TRUNK PANNIER When you need the space of panniers, but 

prefer the convenience of a rack trunk the 

Rack Trunk Pannier is your bag of choice. Built to the same specifications 

as our Rack Trunk Expandable, we replaced the top handle with a 

bungee grid and added two fold out side pockets. Zip one or both open 

to hold extra files or a special deal from the farmer's market.

INERTIA DESIGNS PANNIER SUSPENSIONS 

At Inertia Designs we make two distinct suspensions to meet the needs 

of any rider under any conditions. To simplify the pannier selection 

process we have categorized each bag into the area(s) of use for which 

we designed them. Feel free to break the rules, these categories are 

simply guidelines. For paved commuting or quick runs to the market 

the Bungee System is fine. If you venture off the beaten path and end 

up in pot holes or unexpected terrain changes, the Cam Suspension 

will keep your bags from spontaneously ejecting off the rack. 

An additional consideration in making for a safe ride is packing your load 

properly. Most panniers will be mounted on a rear rack. Our adjustable 

top hooks make for easy placement to prevent excessive heel impacts. For 

longer trips the addition of a front rack and panniers makes for added 

capacity, better control and more comfortable ride. Pack your heavy gear 

low and close to the bike. Layer out from the bike by weight and try to 

put soft items (clothes etc.) toward the outside of the bag to help cushion 

any potential impacts. 

Note on racks: Make sure to purchase a quality rack to mount your panniers 

on. Take care to check that it has a bottom attachment point to 

secure the anchor hook of the pannier. (Most good racks have a small 

piece of rod stock that extends beyond the bottom weld, and/or a horizontal 

cross bar). Some lesser quality racks have no bottom anchor point 

(to save on cost, we think), they are fine for rack trunks and basket balls, 

but not for panniers.

Rack Trunks, Pannier Suspension Info

PANNIER ADJUSTMENT 

Step A: The first step in adjusting Inertia panniers (excluding fixed hook models) 

is fitting the top hooks to your rack. 

1) To position the bags for your desired heel clearance, back pedal with your 

foot at the approximate angle it would be in a true forward stroke, your heel 

should just miss the bag. 

Panniers, Pannier Suspension/Adjustment Instructions 

13 

2) If needed, loosen the top ”J” hooks (see A in Fig. 1) and reposition 

them on the cross bar. The objective is to have your hooks as far apart 

as possible for stability (try to butt them to the rack’s cross members, 

this helps as an index for getting the bag on quickly and also adds to 

the stability of the system). 

3) Retighten hooks at new positions. 

Note: With the Inertia crossbar system 

the bag can be positioned off the back 

of the rack yet still remain solidly 

mounted due to the added rigidity 

provided by the cross bar. This allows 

for less frame sheet thickness and a 

lighter bag. 

Step B: If the rear hook is moved forward 

you will most likely need to shift 

the ”S” hook to the front pocket of the 

stabilizing webbing (B). The goal is to 

have the ”S” hook roughly centered 

between the top hooks. 

A A 

Fig. I B 

BUNGEE SUSPENSION 

Ideal for moderate loads on paved or groomed conditions where simplicity is a priority. 

1) Adjust top hooks (Step A above under Pannier Adjustment). 

2) Select appropriate lower webbing pocket for the bungee to pass through (see B in Fig. I above). Pick the pocket that is 

roughly on the center line of the two hooks, e.g. if the bag is shifted back from the rider, use the front bungee pocket. 

3) Attach ”S” hook to bottom ”leg” of rack. 

4) Pull up on handle of pannier to tension bungee and place top hooks on top rail of rack at points determined above. 

5) Ride 

Note: If you have a shorter rack and need more bungee tension follow the steps in Fig. II. 

Inertia Panniers are set for a standard 12” rack. If you have a shorter rack, such as on a recumbent, you can easily 

shorten the bungee. Fig. II 

1) Pry collar away from mounted end with screwdriver or blunt knife. 

2) Pull through sufficient bungee for a proper fit. 

3) Replace collar with pliers. Keep excess bungee attached until you are sure the fit is correct, then cut leaving at 

least 1/4” exposed, melt end with a flame. 

SUPER METRO PANNIER If you are a hard core commuter who lives by the 

mantra, if I just had a bit more room, the Super 

Metro is your bag. Two inches longer and one inch wider than the Metro 

Basket, it also has Load Straps for stability, but we increased the structural support 

with 6061-T6 aluminum tubing at the hinge point and the outer edge of 

the bottom of the bag. The bag is topped off with an 11” mesh sleeve that will 

nearly double your gear hoarding capacity. For added security we used our cam 

suspension with adjustable top hooks so you can position the bag well off the 

back of the rack. There are also two internal flat zipper pockets so you can stash 

your keys or the optional rain cover. One word of warning, if you plan to fully 

load a Super Metro (or worse, a pair of them) you’d better have a well made 

rack.

CAM SUSPENSION 

Designed for heavier loads on rough terrain, when every ounce counts. 

1) Adjust top hooks (Step A above under Pannier Adjustment). 

2) Center cam unit above lower attachment leg of rack (loosen 2 nylocks to move and retighten once in appropriate position). Fig. III 

3) Feed ”S” hook through appropriate webbing pocket (webbing should hang down vertically with no more than a few degrees variation from vertical). 

4) Set pannier on rack at position determined by hooks (Step A). 

5) With one hand, position bottom ”S” hook on ”leg” of rack. With your other hand pull up gently on webbing to take slack out of system (there is a rubber 

sleeve at the top of the system to keep the webbing in position and allow you to let go). 

6) Press down on the tab of the metal cam buckle while simultaneously pulling firmly up on the webbing at the top of the bag, release the metal cam 

buckle tab to lock webbing in position. (See Fig. IV.) 

7) For added security, slide the plastic cam buckle down tightly on the metal cam buckle and lock closed. This will prevent any 

accidental release in the event the metal buckle is accidentally 

impacted. (See Fig. V.) 

8) Ride.

METRO LITE PANNIER Designed for those who live by the motto, keep it simple. A great commuter bag used Single-Sided 

or in pairs, it will fit a grocery bag perfectly. But why bother? Just pull the bag off your rack and use 

the two handles to load up at the farmers market, or pop in a 24-pack of cold ones depending what’s on the menu. Like the 

other Metros, the bottom of the bag is solidly supported by internal Load Straps to hold heavy loads with ease, while a front 

stabilizer bar keeps loads in check both on and off the bike. When empty, the Metro Lite folds flat out of the way.

METRO BASKET PANNIER Our bungee suspension, single-sided folding ”basket” pannier comes with a shoulder strap 

so you can pop it off the bike and carry it into the store. It is designed to fit a standard 

paper grocery bag, but you can just fill it up without one. The Metro is also excellent for commuting to work, with 

plenty of space for extra clothes and files. Unlike other basket panniers, the Metro folds in on itself, when not in use 

(not up and in the way of your rack as do designs with ”U” shaped supports). Also unique to the Metro are the adjustable 

top hooks, allowing riders to perfectly adjust the position of the bag on 

the rack for a more stable ride and to prevent heel rubbing.

BUSINESS PANNIER with CAM SUSPENSION The Business Pannier was designed to be a professional looking bag that is also a great pannier (not just a 

pannier that looks vaguely like a briefcase). There is an internal lap top sleeve (holds a 17”), interior flat 

pocket for priority papers, and a main cargo area that can hold a 4” stack of papers, or a change of clothes. The exterior of the bag has a full length 

pocket that easily holds legal pads, and two smaller pockets for quick necessities. ¼ cross-linked foam lines the top, bottom and back in addition to the 

HDPE stiffeners in the bottom and back. An interior load strap (borrowed from the Metro Pannier) adds stability. The Cam Suspension can be zipped off 

and left on the bike or slipped into the rear pocket. The 3M Reflective Strips are removable (for office situations) and can be moved to either end of the bag 

depending on which side of the bike you mount it. The Business Pannier Rain Cover is sold separately.

Business Pannier back 

showing Cam Suspension

CAM TOURING PANNIERS The Cam Touring Panniers have reversible fanny 

pack hoods that telescope up on the 10” storm 

sleeves to swallow any excess gear that may accumulate as the trip progresses. 

The narrow profile makes them perfect for front or rear use on intermediate 

terrain. They are an excellent option if you need to augment your rear panniers 

for a road tour or just need a versatile bag for in-town use.

EXPEDITION CAM TOURING PANNIERS Need to carry lunch for 12 and 

the kitchen sink? Then get the 

Expedition Touring Panniers. The big brother of our top-loading Touring 

Pannier, they feature reversible fanny pack hoods, horizontal and vertical 

compression, and modular reflective strips. Used in conjunction with the Cam 

Excursion or Cam Touring you have enough room to take on a serious back 

country trip or an around the world tour. A 20° cutaway at the front of the bags 

maintains maximum volume and load placement while retaining sufficient heel 

clearance on any frame geometry.

PANNIER POCKETS Our add-on pockets attach securely with quickrelease 

buckles to any bag with horizontal compression 

straps and are the perfect way to organize gear on longer trips. 

The Mesh Pocket is great for toxic 

items like fuel bottles or smelly 

socks. The Water-Tight Pocket fits 

the bill for sensitive items like 

cameras or first aid kits. While the 

500 denier Cordura® Solid Pocket 

is a catch-all for any overflow gear. 

All pockets have a strip of 3M 

Scotchlite Reflective Material for 

added safety.

MONSOON CAM EXPEDITION PANNIERS Need to carry lunch for 12 and

the Monsoon Expeditions with either Dry Load or Monsoon Cam Touring on 

the front. As with the other Monsoon bags, the 

features are identical to the conventional 

bags but with the Inertia 

exclusive bag-in-a-bag system.

make it an excellent bag for business travel 

and basic daily commuting. The adjustable shoulder strap has a contoured 

pad of #2 cross-linked foam and an integral sternum to stabilize 

the bag on or off a bike. The bag's interior is bright yellow to help you 

find important files in a flash. The padded internal sleeve will secure your 

lap top (or loose papers) easily. An additional internal divider just makes 

you that much more organized. Under the flap is an organizer 

pocket with a hide-away key fob. A rear 

slash pocket and side pocket take last minute 

items. But there's more. The main flap is also

CARGO DUFFEL We originally designed this bag so our sales reps could carry 

all of their samples, but so many people liked it we decided 

to add it to the line. Big does not even do this thing justice, it’s huge. Let’s just 

say if you fill this, the sky cap will definitely want a big tip. The long sides are 

padded to protect your gear, there is a flat mesh pocket on one end, a dimensional 

pocket on the other, and a full ballistic bottom. The straps join with a 

removable handle (like the panniers) and it comes with a padded shoulder 

strap too. Yes, you can fit all the bags in this catalog inside it (half pannier sets 

only). Please feel free to purchase one of each bag and 

find out for yourself.

RACE DUFFEL Just the right size for all your gear (24”x 10”x 11” overall) with 

a big main compartment. One end pocket is mesh sided for 

stinky items. Two side mesh pockets hold water bottles, gloves, etc. and a hideaway 

changing mat keeps your socks clean. (This is a great custom item for 

teams.)

Linked foam on three sides along with a removable HDPE frame sheet protect all your contents. An internal padded 

pocket will accept a lap top and there is additional space for 4” of paperwork. For extra organization there is an internal 

flap pocket, an external legal size zippered pocket, and two smaller external pockets for quick access items.
