Description
If bikepacking is your goal, or you just prefer to carry gear in your bike's triangle and not on your back, the Blackburn Outpost Elite Frame Bag is an option you have to consider. The design is available in four sizes and designed to fit a wider range of bike sizes, frame styles and rider preferences. The bags are made from lightweight, waterproof materials and feature welded seams, sealed zippers as well as removable Hypalon straps that protect the frame and allow for a precise placement and adjustment. The straps sit flat and clean, and really do everything they can to prevent marring and scratching themselves. Gritty mud is another thing altogether, but that's part of the joy of adventure cycling.
Blackburn Design isn't new to this game and there are some smart, informed features as well as knowledge of how to keep the storage lean and effective. Added features include a hose port to allow for the storage of a water reservoir or a the opportunity to cache a light battery, ensuring you get dense, heavy products to the lowest center of gravity. The shape and sizing of the triangular (mostly) bags is well thought out, and options that will work with gravel and most mountain bikes. The construction is top notch, and highly practical with a clean look.
