Paper Roads bags in the 'Overland' range are larger and designed for long-haul brevets. These treatbags are spacious and can be opened and closed single-handedly. Sizing is 'large man hand-friendly' – dive right in without fiddling around with your fingers.

Loaded with practical features:

2 mesh side pockets
1 inner pocket
Drain hole
EPLX200 liner – easily cleanable & mould proof compared to normal lining used in every other feed bag out there.
Straps that allow for easy installation

Most suitable for mountainbike handlebars. For drop bars and gravel bikes, please check that you have enough space for hands on the tops and knee clearance. Specs below.

Features

Single-handed opening and closing mechanism
Double elastic mesh pockets
Inner pocket
RUV film-backed liner, enables quick cleaning - just wipe with a damp cloth. Unfortunate leaks do occur, like blue cheese! Most, if not all feedbags from other brands use fabric lining, which gets mouldy. (I have proof from an old Paper Roads version).
Hole in the bottom to let water out (if not closed tightly in heavy rain water will enter the bag).
2 low profile velcro strips to attach to handle bars
Adjustable strap from bag to attach to forks to keep the bag upright and stable

Materials

Fabrics available include Challenge Sailcloth Ecopak and fabrics from the X-pac range. These are ultra lightweight with DWR coating, imported from the US.

Top Tips

Bikepacking rigs are often set up with a pair of treatbags. What you put in it depends on personal preference. From Amy's experience, riding a small frame means food storage is tricky but thanks to these large treat bags, they can hide more food than it appears! On a remote ride, one bag typically holds a pack of biscuits, a bag of scroggin, can of tuna and bars/gels. The other bag holds a bottle of water with a pack of tortillas. (French fries have been carried and eaten from a treatbag).

Usage & Care information

Attach bag to handlebars using velcro straps provided. You can move a strap to the side and wrap it around the stem.
If your stem is short, like 40mm long, positioning the bag too close to the centre may impede sharp turning if you have a hard item inside like a drink bottle. It is also possible to mount it lower, from the top tube.
Clip the lower strap around the front fork and tighten, so that it allows the single-handed opening to function properly.
Do not throw into washing machine or dryer.
Scrub with a plastic bristle brush
If needing a quick clean, soak in cold water with mild detergent
If doing a thorough clean, use Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash and SolarProof.
