Expedition Full Frame Pack 12L is part of the Expedition range and is lightweight, waterproof and durable. Maximising storage for day’s out and longer expeditions.
Apidura says:
Full Frame Packs fill the bike’s main triangle, providing a large space for bulky items — anything from cooking gear and tent poles, to heavy tools on longer expeditions and bikepacking trips. The resulting low centre of gravity ensures the pack has minimal effect on handling while offering a high volume of storage space.
The Full Frame Pack is completely waterproof, constructed from a lightweight fabric, custom milled to Apidura’s specifications and welded together at the seams to create a watertight seal. Zippers with protected closures ensure that kit stays dry, even in a sustained downpour. A battery lead/hydration hose port is handy for charging devices or staying hydrated on the road.
Our Verdict
Expedition Full Frame Pack 12L is part of the Expedition range and is made from lightweight, waterproof and durable material. This 12 litre version is most suited for larger bike frames and the adjustable straps to attach to the top, seat and down tubes allow for a bit of leeway in sizing. The main compartment is accessible via the long waterproof zip, perfect to get lengthy and bulky items (tent poles, pump etc) in and out without snagging. There is a small second pocket to help with organisation. This is a well-designed pack with lots of features making it bike and rider friendly.
