Caldera Collection Bandito Bicycle Bag

Every fall Swift Industries releases a special, limited edition Holiday Collection of bags and accessories to celebrate cooler temps and autumnal vibes. To inspire joy and cheer, this year we have teamed up with the illustrious Japanese bike shop, Blue Lug, to create an earth-toned assortment of waxed canvas bags and weather resistant accessories to keep you and your belongings safe and dry on damp days in the saddle. Japanese artist Okataoka’s whimsical patch artwork with his take on the Swift fox truly brings this collection to life.

Discover the entire Caldera Collection.

At home on your handlebars and under your saddle, our Bandito Bicycle Bag adds just over 3 liters of packing capacity to your ride. The bag’s handsome cylinder shape is a classic accessory with timeless utility. It’s quite impressive how much fits in our barrel design.

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

For attachment to your bicycle saddle 

Feed the included 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. We stock the Velo Orange Saddle Loop Set, an after-market attachment option for saddles without integrated saddle loops.

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.

Add stability with a third p-cord strap that feeds through a versatile daisy chain and around the seat-post or stem. It will prevent the bag from swaying or bumping upward on rugged terrain.
