Bilbie is a half-length, weatherproof frame bag for long day rides or lightweight bikepacking. It straps securely within your front triangle and keeps weight closer to your centre of gravity to maintain handling performance. The half-length also gives you space for two full size water bottles. Hardwearing waterproof fabrics and water-resistant YKK AquaGuard® zips protect your kit from all but the heaviest rain. A front-facing cable port allows you to run dynamo cables in or power pack cables out. Bilbie is built to last in our UK Factory and covered by our 25-year Alpine Bond.

How It Is Made

Organic cotton
X-Pac® X11 fabric uses a hard-wearing 100% organic cotton face fabric. Organic cotton farming produces significantly less CO₂, uses less water and eliminates the use of harmful pesticides.

Climate neutral fabric
X-Pac® X11 fabric is certified by cleenTEC® as being 100% climate neutral. X11 is made from a mixture of plant-based and recycled materials and manufactured in factories using only green energy.

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.
