STASH PACK

The Stash Pack is designed to strap almost anywhere on your bike. An excellent choice for every-ride essential repair kits! Available in two sizes - the Small also functions as a great little seat bag, and the Large as a nice cargo-cage bag.

To be transparent, here’s a list of benefits and downsides as I see them:

FEATURES = BENEFITS:

• Rolltop design = simple, rugged closure

• Large anti-slip patches on bag and strap = prevents the bag from moving

• High quality cinch strap = locks Stash Pack into place

• Strap pass-through on bag = prevents bag from being lost if the strap isn’t fastened tightly enough

• Small version the perfect size for seat bag use = carry your daily repair kit on your saddle rails, but with no flopping, rattling, or bouncing around like the typical throwaway cheapie

• Large version great for cargo cages = well-sized for use in cargo cages mounted under the down tube and between the cranks

• Built with weatherproof materials = your cargo is protected

• Truly artisan-level design and build quality = beautiful gear that lasts with elevated function and reliability

DISADVANTAGES:

• Not ideal for cargo that shouldn’t be compressed… no peanut-butter sandwiches

• Not 100% waterproof: built with weatherproof materials, but it is a sewn product for durability, so in heavy downpours dampness may show at the seams. Learn more here.

• Craftsmanship like this doesn’t come cheap

Choose In-Stock or Build-to-Spec.

IN-STOCK: I keep as much gear built and ready to ship as possible.

BUILD-TO-SPEC: Click here for current lead time. If nothing’s in stock or you want a different color, Build-to-Spec is an option. This costs a bit more because your gear isn’t built as part of a batch. Choose one or two colors at checkout. Available color swatches are shown in the photostream - in order shown, left to right: Black, Cayenne, Ocean Blue, Evergreen, Goldenrod, Coyote Brown, Dark Camo, Olive Green, Marigold, Matrix Gray, Slate Gray, Red, Electric Blue, Southwest Turquoise, Deep Purple, Blaze Orange, Lime Green.

VIDEO: See above for video instructions.

STEP-BY-STEP:

• Fill the bag with goods, roll the top down, and fasten the closure.

• Make sure the strap is passed through the “keeper” slot on the side of the bag.

• Pass the strap around your frame tube, saddle rails, cargo cage, or whatnot - then through the buckle, pull tight and double back to fasten the strap to itself.

What I do, why I do it, and the way it’s done:

• I’ve been working in the bicycle industry since 1997 and hand-building gear for bicycles since 2010. A lot has changed over the years, but what’s remained the same is my motivation. I’m still here, still innovating, still building, and still believing in American craftsmanship.

• My process is human-scale and analog, not corporate and digital. I’m not intentionally a throwback; that's just the way life makes sense to me. I can’t help but push back on a modern age obsessed with technology, externalization, and efficiency at all costs… a world that increasingly feels inhuman. Working with my hands and conversing with my customers is good for me, good for customers, provides purpose, and supports my family. I count that as a win.
