Apidura Expedition Front Cargo Mesh
The Apidura Expedition Front Cargo Mesh is a lightweight, durable stretch-mesh pocket that attaches to the front of the new-generation Expedition Handlebar Pack and converts into a crossbody pouch off the bike. Weighing 102 g, it adds quick stuff-and-go storage on the bike and a zippered pocket with key hook for your valuables.
Why a front cargo mesh – and why this one
Gloves, snacks and empty wrappers need somewhere to go mid-ride, and long items such as tent poles are awkward to pack inside a handlebar roll. The Expedition Front Cargo Mesh adds flexible, quick-access storage at the front of your setup:
- Storage in seconds. Stuff items under the mesh when you need storage quickly mid-ride.
- Room for long items. On the bike it works as a pass-through pocket for longer items like tent poles.
- Valuables stay with you. Off the bike it becomes a crossbody pouch with a single zipped pocket and key hook, carried on the adjustable cord strap.
- Light and tough. Tear-resistant 4-way Ultrastretch mesh keeps weight low and is designed for performance and longevity.
Who is it for?
- Bikepackers using the new-generation Expedition Handlebar Pack who want extra, quick-access capacity with minimal weight.
- Riders carrying a tent who need a place for poles or other long items.
Please note: the Front Cargo Mesh is not a standalone product – it is only compatible with the new-generation Expedition Handlebar Packs.
