Apidura Backcountry Accessory Pocket – 4L
The Apidura Backcountry Accessory Pocket (4 L) is an ultra-durable, seam-welded accessory pocket that clips to the Backcountry Handlebar Pack and adds 4 L of storage for weekend trails or bikepacking tours. It weighs 155 g, is made from Dimension Polyant X-PAC VX21 fabric and is compatible with the Backcountry and Expedition Handlebar Packs. It does not function as a standalone product.
Why an accessory pocket – and why this one
Snacks, documents and small electronics are things you want to reach without unpacking the handlebar roll. The Backcountry Accessory Pocket addresses this:
- It adds capacity quickly. It clips securely to the handlebar pack and adds 4 L of storage.
- Contents stay organised. An internal anti-rattle mesh pocket aids organisation, and a bright lining helps when searching for items.
- It stays closed on rough ground. The fold-over velcro closure gives easy access and security over the roughest terrain.
- It is built for the trails. Abrasion-resistant panels and an ultra-durable, lightweight, welded body fabric enhance durability.
- You stay visible. Reflective graphics and an integrated light attachment point increase visibility.
Who is it for?
- Owners of a Backcountry or Expedition Handlebar Pack who need extra storage within easy reach.
- Weekend trail riders and bikepackers who want to keep snacks, a camera, documents or light electronics close at hand.
