Restrap Full Frame Bag
Restrap now offers more features than ever before, with increased compartmentalization and capacity without compromising on versatility and functionality. This allows riders to organize their loadout, or use the full space of the bag for larger items and hydration packs.
Two Aquaguard YKK zips on the drive side of the bag allow easy access to the top and bottom sections of the bag, with internal velcro dividers to separate the compartments. These dividers aid the structure of the bag when fully packed, but also fold away to allow use of the full internal space of the bag if needed. The non-drive-side of the bag contains a document pocket, useful for storing smaller items on the go.
The bag is made from durable, textured nylon outer and VX21 fabrics, with a wipeable lower section that means the bag is easy to keep clean when riding off-road or in adverse weather. Rubberized strapping provides extra grip to the frame and webbing straps, with easy-to-use cam locking buckles, keeping the bag sitting securely and free of movement while riding.
