Glider frame bag sits in your front triangle giving stable storage for heavier items, keeping your centre of gravity low for maintaining good bike handling. The ½ frame bag design fits within most road bikes, and at 4 cm wide it’s for your road, cycle touring, or adventure bikepacking setup.
Glider is spacious for its size, with a smaller accessory pocket and key hook to keep your kit organised. The front-facing cable port keeps things neat when running wires to your dynamos and charging your light batteries on-the-go during longer bikepacking adventures.

A webbing ladder offers endless fastening points; simply cut the VELCRO® strap provided to size.
Although being made from waterproof fabric and being highly weather resistant, this product is not fully waterproof due to its open zip and stitched construction. If you are carrying valuables or electronic equipment, make sure to put it in a dry bag.
