Bar Bag Holster + Dry Bag
Restrap Bar Bag Holster + Dry Bag Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
Restrap's holster system separates the mounting harness from the dry bag, so you can swap bags or upgrade without replacing the whole system. The included 14L dry bag is tough and fully waterproof. Made in the UK from recycled materials.
