ULTRA X HANDLEBAR DOUBLE END DRY BAGS
The Lightest Tough Bikepacking Dry Bags in the World!
WEIGHT: 2.6 – 3.5 oz | 74 – 99 gm
Challenge ULTRA X 100 Fabric. 2023/24 Improved Durability. Ultra X fully replaces the older less durable plain Ultra.
The Ultra X Double End Handlebar Dry Bags are for bike-packers who prefer to access their gear from both ends. Using the same construction and materials as our Bikepacking Ultra X Dry Bags, the Ultra X double-end Handlebar Dry Bags were built to fit whatever you need to carry while keeping it super accessible. Designed to be extremely lightweight for ultra-endurance, LD touring, and race bikepacking. Double-ended, roll-top closures have a central snap on each end for secure and easy packing. All seams are super sealed to keep your gear dry. The medium gray colored fabric looks cleaner longer and does not get blazing hot in the sun or cook the contents of your bag like traditional black colored bags do. Designed for handlebars but also GREAT on a rear rack.

The best I’ve found. Have both medium and large. Noticed a familiar shape on the buckle. A whistle! Couldn’t be happier. Construction and materials top notch. Thoughtful design. Inexpensive
