We’ve ridden with a lot of dry bags over the years. Some are great for rafting. Some are great for motorcycles. Some are great for keeping your sleeping bag dry in a canoe. But when you’re strapping a bag to a bike and riding it down a rocky trail for hours on end, you start to notice the little things.
That’s why we made our own.
The Old Man Mountain 5L Dry Bag is purpose-built for bikepacking. It keeps your gear dry, compresses evenly, and stays securely attached to your rack or cargo cage, mile after mile. No complicated mounting system. No unnecessary hardware. Just a durable dry bag designed around the way bikes actually carry gear.
A built-in frame sheet gives the bag structure and helps it compress evenly as you tighten it down. Purpose-spaced attachment loops make it easy to thread a Voile-style cargo strap through the bag, keeping your load secure and preventing it from shifting around when the road gets rough.
At 5 liters, it’s the perfect size for the things you want close at hand without taking up your whole setup. Add a layer, stash your sleep kit, carry extra food, or pack whatever the day calls for. The roll-top closure lets you dial in the volume and keeps the contents protected from whatever weather you ride into.
It’s a simple piece of gear, and that’s the point. We built it to do one job exceptionally well: carry your stuff on a bike and keep it dry.
Sometimes, simple is exactly what you need.
