Carradice – Made in Lancashire Since 1932 – Now in Australia
~ Sponsored Content ~
Focused on traditional design & the highest-quality materials, Carradice Bags are still made in Nelson, Lancashire as they have been since 1932. Materials are cut, punched & shaped by hand for that unique, bespoke attention to detail. Each bag is sewn from start to finish by the talented Carradice team & personally signed.
Carradice has a different approach to other bikepacking brands on the market with designs and durability proven over 90 years. They have proprietary saddle and handlebar mounted bag support bag frames that reduce sway and movement and offer extra support for heavy loads. Their rear quick release bag frame allows the bag to be easily fitted and removed.
Carradice produce a range of bags for bikepacking, touring panniers, commuting panniers, backpacks and satchels. We’ll take a look at a selection of Carradice products. All of these are now available to Australian bicycle dealers.
Zipped Roll
The Zipped Roll Green pictured here is a versatile small bag with 3.5 litre capacity that can either attach to the handlebars or under the saddle with a variety of mounting options including straps. It has an option for foam spacers that push it away from the handlebars to make room for a Garmin or other handlebar mounted devices.
It features a zip closure with a press stud fastened flap at the top for added water repellence in addition to the waterproof cotton duck fabric. It has D rings either side so that it can be used with a shoulder strap off the bike. The Zipped Roll retails from $124.
Universal Rack
The Universal rack pictured above is made from stainless steel with alloy bar clamps. It has high or low mounting options for above or below the handlebars to provide tyre clearance depending on the size of the bike. It retails for $145
There’s also rear mount versions that clamp to the saddle rails including the Bagman, which has a quick release so that you can just pull two release pins to take the bag on an off the rack in a moment. This retails for $167.
Pendle Saddlebag
The Carradice Pendle Green pictured above is an 11 litre capacity bag with two side pockets. It’s ideal for ‘flashpacking’, which is bikepacking where you stay in hotels and don’t need a tent or sleeping bag.
The standard Pendle is $205. If customers require a larger capacity, there’s the Camper Long Flap that has a 24 litre capacity making it big enough for a multi-day flashpacking ride, retailing for $246.
Lancaster Backpack
This is a purely off-bike backpack with a 20 litre capacity. It features the same quality materials and hardware of the on-bike bags and retails for $197.
It features leather front straps, and a tartan lining on the inside.
