skingrowsback Overnighter Handlebar Bag 6L
$229.99
The Overnighter Handlebar Bag as the name suggests is a Cradle and Dry Bag combination engineered for carrying tents and other camping equipment on the front of your bike.
The Dry Bag is constructed from weather proof XPAC VX21. The 6.1 litre chamber has a roll top closure at each end allowing easy and convenient access to your contents. Securing the Dry Bag to the handlebars is the Cradle component. An outer shell of 1000D Nylon covers the Polypropylene base, this provides a firm and compliant housing for the Dry Bag. Access to the Cradle is located at the rear leaving the front shielded from spray from the front tyre. The Cradle straps run the full circumference of the bag offering additional carrying opportunities. Closed finger loops on these straps make it easier to tension. The Overnighter is fitted with shock cord stabilisers to lock the Dry Bag in place and reduce any lateral movement, a head tube mount adds to this. Handlebar mounts are secured with a tension lock system. These straps are threaded onto our BLOC Spacers bringing the bag away from the bars slightly and offering more options for your thumb position. A shock cord assembly across the top is suitable for holding lightweight footwear or a jacket. Please note that this products performance is directly effected by its load. Skingrowsback recommend using the bags full internal carrying capacity for the best results.

Care Instructions
If you can't get your skingrowsback product looking good with a simple hose down, it's recommended to hand wash with a mild detergent if required, dry in the shade only.
Do not machine wash, machine dry, or iron. Avoid pressure washing and drying in direct sun light.
Here are some useful suggestions for maintaining your skingrowsback product.
Washing.
When it comes to washing there are two ways you can approach this. Primarily for skingrowsback on bike products the most effective way is to use a hose to remove the bulk of the dirt and mud. Try to avoid using a pressure washer as this can do more harm than good. Different colours will have different results, the brighter the colour the more difficult it will be to keep clean for obvious reasons.
If the product you are washing has a stiff component to it please DO NOT wash it in the washing machine, this will cause the structure to be compromised.
Understanding the materials skingrowsback use for products will help you care for them in an optimal way. Almost all products use materials that have a DWR coating (Durable Water Repellent) on the outer layer. Over time this will wear off with factors like abrasion, fibre stress, prolonged UV exposure and detergents.
Zips
Using zips is pretty self explanatory, you pull it one way to open and the opposite way to close.
You can avoid stress on the teeth of the zip if you hold the product together when zipping it up. Pushing any obstructions away from the zip slider as you close it can avoid a jam, lightweight materials like jackets are notorious for this. Removing dirt, mud and particularly sand from the surface of the zip can reduce the risk of damage when opening and closing. All our on bike products use a YKK PU coated zip this offers a degree of water repellency, it's also easy to wipe down before use.
Zip lube is another great way to prolong the life of your zip. Yes, zip lube. Apply a small amount to the teeth of the zip occasionally for smoother running zips.
Spray Before You Play.
Before you use your product skingrowsback recommends using a water shield spray, this not only repels water but will reduce the amount of dirt that sticks to the surface. Follow the instructions on the container for the best results.
