Bags of all kinds

The 27 Orucase Airport Ninja travel case ($ 500, orucase. com) offers you stealth when you are taking your bike abroad. With some disassembl­y required, a road frame as large as 61 cm can fit into one of the three available sizes of the Airport Ninja. It’s small enough that you can get through check-in without paying exorbitant fees. Note: Orucase makes no guarantees. Always read an airline’s fine print, which can be pretty stealthy, beforehand.

The 28 Castelli Race rain bag ($ 90, mvc46.eu) lets you pack a lot in a small space. The internal mesh, zipper pockets keep everything neat. A shoe compartmen­t offers some ventilatio­n to your footwear.

Bring along your ride essentials with the 29 Axiom Seymour Oceanweave Wedge 0.8 seat bag ($ 30, livetoplay­sports.com). The Oceanweave fabric is made from recycled fishing nets, an nice eco-positive touch.

The 30 Specialize­d Burra Burra 3 frame pack ($ 130, specialize­d.com), with its six attachment points, secures nicely to your frame. Coated nylon panels held together with welded seams do a good job of keeping the elements out. The 40 cm x 5.5 cm x 10 cm bag has a large zipper compartmen­t, as well as two smaller ones.

The 31 BBB Front Fellow handlebar bag ($ 88, gwbicycle. com) features a large stuff sack attached to the bag’s main panel via a hook-and-loop strip. Once you park your bikepackin­g rig for the day, you can easily remove the stuff sack while the panel stays attached to the frame. The Front Fellow comes with an ample number of foam pads so you can configure the right fit on your bike.
