Standard Features and Optional Elements - Saddlebags
Traditionally favored by English tourists, saddle bags typically mount to the loops on the rear of the saddle and can be a way to store extra stuff you don't use on a regular basis such as a rain shell or your tool kit. They can serve as extra storage for a longer journey when your handlebar bag isn't quite enough, or they can be your stand-alone bag. Saddle bags range from the wedge size that is about 8" long and really holds the bare basics of a some tools, keys, credit card and a granola bar, up to the small under saddle bag that could carry the same with the addition of a shell or extra layer, up to more roomy bags that can handle enough for commuting, shopping, camping and extended bikepacking journeys.
