The Bandito Bicycle Bag is the ultimate in no-fuss utilitarian carry. Versatile attachment points make this cylindrical pack a perfect fit both under your saddle or on your bars. A rigid plastic liner gives this bag structure and prevents sagging with heavy contents. D-rings on the side panels allow for off-bike carry with a Shoulder Strap, and a daisy chain of webbing across the front gives you opportunity to lash an accessory like a pump. Thoughtful and functional features abound in this small but mighty classic.

Made in Surabaya, Indonesia and Seattle, WA out of recycled materials. This product contains roughly 4 plastic bottles rescued from ocean beaches.

Attaching the Bandito Bicycle Bag to your bicycle is easy using the two 9″ Swift Straps included with your purchase.

For attachment to your bicycle saddle
Feed the Swift Straps through the slots in the webbing that are closest to the center of the bag–you’ll find that the spacing is a perfect match for the standard spacing of the saddle bag attachment loops on a Brooks or Berthoud saddle.

To mount the Bandito to the bicycle handlebars
Feed the two Swift Straps through the slots in the webbing closest to the outside edges of the bag, and attach the straps directly to your handlebars.

Whether attaching to your bars or on your seat, use the shock cord strap that feeds through the daisy chain to secure the bag around the seat-post or stem. It will prevent the bag from swaying or bumping upward.

Love the bag

Really love the bag. Fits necessities and more.
I got the teal one which looks awesome.

Just the right size for a gran fondo

Has held up great!

I’ve had this bandito for over a year and it’s proven very versatile and capable. I’ve used as a bar bag for essentials on one bicycle setup and a seat bag on another setup. Jacket, gloves, snacks, beers spare, tubes, and co2 pumps all fit. It seems just a little too small to be a main bar bag for bikecamping and may want to size up if that’s the focus but excels at daily functionality. However it could be used for that if you had a full frame bag and seatpost bag to compliment and were going minimal. Stitching and zipper holds up great. Daisy chain is also very useful. Occasionally small items do slip under the plastic roll and creates a little more searching in bag but that’s rare enough to hardly mention. I really do love this bag it will continue to be a staple in my bike gear setups.

Solid Bag

Roomy and light. The top straps fasten well. However, the lower bungee does not as it is difficult to remove quickly. I replaced it with a rubberized cinch strap.
