The Dispersed Rack Bag is designed for quick layer changes. Undo one buckle and you have access to the bag. We constructed the bag to hold its shape whether full or empty, because no one wants a floppy bag when you’re wearing all your layers. The webbing along the bottom of the bag allows for use with a wide range of racks. One main strap holds the bag to the rack and the included 6″ nano Voile straps secure the corners.

The bag features an angled front profile for seat clearance and a rear light mount. It weighs about half a pound and comes in any color you’d like!

Inspired and tested by our friend Tim Tait, thanks Tim!

Compatibility:

We’ve tested this on racks with 3″ spacing between rails (Mica Rat Tail rack) up to 5″ spacing between rails (Tumbleweed Pannier rack, Salsa Alternator rack). The 4″ spacing between the webbing on the bottom works well with anything in this 3″-5″ range. The 6″ nano Voile straps are long enough to go wider if necessary. Shown below installed on a Salsa Alternator rack (5″ spacing between rails).

Water resistance:

The materials are waterproof but the seams are not sealed. We’re offering an optional dry bag that fits the shape of the bag for those who need a waterproof option. Why 2 bags? There are a few reasons:
      • We prefer packing a separate dry bag off the bike. This also allows you to quickly remove the contents of your bag and take them into your shelter without getting anything wet.
      • A separate inner dry bag allows you to separate wet items from dry items. Dry gear can go inside the dry bag, and wet gear can live next to it inside the outer bag. We use this functionality if our tarp or bivy is wet and we need to put it away before drying it.
      • Even with heavy duty bags, dry bags exposed to the trail can develop small holes that compromise waterproofness. With an outer protective layer and inner waterproof layer, your gear is more likely to stay dry. *Dry bag not intended for submersion.

Specs:

      • Weight:
        • 250g (8.8oz) bag (including nano Voile straps)
        • 70g (2.5oz) dry bag
        • 320g (11.3oz) total
      • Volume: 10L
      • Length: 13″ (33cm)
      • Width: 6″ (15.5cm)

Instructions:

1. Remove the metal g hook from the daisy chain.
2. Undo the velcro on the daisy chain strap along the side of the bag.
3. Place the bag on your rack with the daisy chain strap hanging on the non driveside.
4. Use the 4 nano Voile straps to secure the corners of the bag where it makes sense on your rack. Their position can be adjusted along the webbing on the bottom of the bag. Attach them loosely at first to get the bag centered. Depending on the width of your rack, the webbing may need to sit inside or outside of the rails, rather than right on top.
5. Route the daisy chain velcro strap under the top platform of the rack then reattach it up along the side of the bag. This strap secures the bag to the rack.
6. The bag is now ready to be loaded and closed with the metal g hook to the daisy chain.
7. Optional dry bag needs to be rolled at least 3 times before buckling for a waterproof seal.
