Restrap Bar Pack review

This the best handlebar bag for bikepacking we’ve yet come across, it’s an absolute must have for any two wheeled adventure

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Restrap Bar Pack is the best handlebar bag that we’ve yet come across. The roll top entry to the large main compartment makes it easy to access your items, while the compression straps keep everything in place. A secondary compartment with a Velcro flap closure means you can still access items while riding, and an integrated D-lock holder is great for bringing a bit of security with you on your adventures. It’s not even overly expensive compared to the competition, but we’ve yet to see anything else that comes near in terms of functionality.
