Lone Peak Bike Packing Products
Budget concerns required diligent research and I was so pleased to find an entire kit for approximately a hundred sixty bucks I wanted to share this information before I begin my vacation with limited internet access. The following products provide a Seat Wedge Pack, Handlebar Carrier System and frame bag. It's a rather smallish kit with regards to how much stuff can be toted on the bike but keeping in mind I use my old Camelbak hydration pack for trails, off road bike packing and camping. So, not at all concerned about it. If you're looking for a quality kit for less than two hundred dollars that can provide so overnight bike packing adventures off the beaten track thank the folks at Lone Peak for providing their excellent quality products since 1979 and made in the good ol' U.S. of A. Good Stuff. Use bold underlined text links for information or to purchase.

For the modest price of under fifty bucks and option to carry hydration reservoir it's a good item for stashing clothes, food, whatever. Lone Peak offers this Standard Size Frame Bag Pack or a Large Size which is a more rectangular shape and is installed using the entire top tube of the frame offering considerably more packing room.

For me this is an important item of equipment for hauling gear such as my Thermarest Mattress, sleeping bag and pillow.

Although the Kada Pak provides almost the same amount of cargo carrying ability as the Lone Peak Pack it may not be quite as durable but I can't say that for sure at this point. The Kada Pak incorporates the standard method mounting the pack to the seat rails and post and is the new improved model with wider heavier duty straps and buckles.
*Note that none of the packs listed here are entirely waterproof so for situations which call for protecting electronic devices or just keeping clothes and sleeping equipment dry I use a couple of dry bags from Outdoor Research and Sea to Summit Compression Bag which are available in various sizes and completely waterproof. I use these in my non waterproof panniers along with or can be carried outside on a rack or for this kit attached to the Lone Peak Handlebar Hauler System. Also consider the Outdoor Products three pack of Ultimate Dry Sacks for smaller items. All of these products mentioned are an excellent entry level bike packing kit that can serve many adventures for years to come.
