Why a packable backpack – and why this one
A packable backpack is there when you need extra capacity and out of the way when you do not. The Apidura Packable Backpack addresses this:
- It weighs almost nothing. At 110 g it is ultralight, with a minimal design and lightweight materials.
- It packs away. When not in use it packs into an integrated pocket and attaches to your bike via a velcro strap.
- The capacity is flexible. A 13 L main compartment with a roll-down closure and quick-release buckle adapts to the load.
- It is comfortable to carry. Contoured, adjustable shoulder straps and an adjustable cord-hook sternum strap provide a stable, secure fit, designed to be comfortable on and off the bike.
- Contents stay dry. The ultralight, waterproof construction with seam-taped waterproofing keeps belongings dry in changeable conditions.
- You can stay visible. Reflective graphics and reflective thread woven into the straps enhance visibility.
Improved durability, same form factor, and PFAS free.
Who is it for?
- Cyclists who need occasional extra capacity and want to pack the bag away when not in use.
- Bikepackers and commuters who want a lightweight backpack for use both on and off the bike.
