INTRODUCING THE COMPACT SADDLE BAG: SMALL BUT MIGHTY

At ALMSTHRE, we’ve always believed that the road is more than just a path—it’s an invitation to explore, to discover, and to get lost in the experience. And now, we’re thrilled to introduce a bag that embodies this spirit in every stitch: the Compact Saddle Bag.

A BAG FOR THE ESSENTIALIST

New to the ALMSTHRE lineup, the Compact Saddle Bag is crafted for cyclists who appreciate the art of simplicity. This ultra-light saddle pack may be small in form, but it’s incredibly spacious—perfect for those who travel light but never compromise on what they bring along. Whether you’re on a quick spin or an epic journey, this little pack has the heart to carry your essentials with ease.

DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY AND STYLE

Don’t let its size fool you—the Compact Saddle Bag is built to withstand the toughest of rides. Constructed with premium ripstop fabric, reinforced wear points, and a waterproof zipper, it’s ready for anything the road throws your way. From rainy coastal rides to rugged city streets, this bag keeps your essentials secure, dry, and always within reach.

EXPLORE IN COLOR

Available in our three signature colors, the Compact Saddle Bag isn’t just functional—it’s a stylish statement on any bike. Whether you’re weaving through the city or hitting the trails, this bag complements your ride with both flair and practicality.

SMALL IN SIZE, BIG IN CAPABILITY

When it comes to on-bike storage, size isn't everything—it's how you use it. Our Compact Saddle Bag packs a punch despite its petite profile. Measuring just 3" wide x 4.25" long x 1.25" tall, it offers 0.3 liters of space, perfectly proportioned to carry your ride essentials. Weighing in at a mere 45 grams, it's 40% smaller than our Signature Saddle Bag. While the Signature Saddle Bag gives you a bit more room, the Compact version focuses on lightweight minimalism without sacrificing functionality. Both bags share the same premium materials, reinforced wear points, and waterproof design, so whichever you choose, you're getting top-tier quality in a streamlined package.

THE ART OF DOING

At ALMSTHRE, we celebrate “The Art of Doing”—the belief that life’s greatest moments are found in the journey, not just the destination. The Compact Saddle Bag is more than just a piece of gear; it’s an invitation to embrace the unknown, to take the road less traveled, and to find joy in the simplicity of the ride.

GET LOST WITH US

So, what are you waiting for? Pack your essentials, mount your Compact Saddle Bag, and set off on your next adventure. The road is calling, and with ALMSTHRE by your side, it’s full of endless possibilities.
