The perfect bag, for the imperfect space

Tailfin has made a name for itself in bikepacking for its high-quality pannier racks - and also supplies suitable bags for starting your bikepacking adventure without a rack. A new addition to the portfolio is a bag that might not stay completely clean in the right conditions.

It depends on the trip: For a short weekend trip, a bag on the handlebars and one under the saddle might be enough. But if you want to go on a big trip - and want to do it bikepacking style without a fixed rack attached to the frame and the corresponding bags - you'll need a lot of bags strapped to the bike. This is where the British supplier Tailfin steps into the breach once again with a clever solution.

The V-Mount Packs are true all-purpose wonders: These bags in 3 or 1.7 liter sizes do not require threaded eyelets for attachment, this task is performed by adjustable straps. These bags are best attached to the down tube, but could then be exposed to mud on the front wheel in wet conditions. If space allows, the bag is probably better placed above the top tube.

And what fits in a 3-liter bag? According to Tailfin, a 1-liter water bottle, a gas stove, a mini pump, a tube and a mini tool fit in this V-Mount Pack. This could be exactly the portion of luggage that turns a short trip into a longer one.
