Why We Like The Osprey Escapist Saddle Bag
Accommodating any rider on any adventure, the Osprey Escapist Saddle Bag is part of a thoughtfully designed modular bikepacking system. The two-piece system brings us a custom under-saddle holster that prevents sway, along with a waterproof bag that carries our bulkier gear, to help us get off the grid with our necessities safely organized. The innovative holster system helps the Escapist fit a wide array of bike frames and sizes, and the recycled nylon construction is tough enough to handle the rowdiest of fire roads. A covered air purge hole allows us to vent out pressure and increase compression, while the reflective details give us an added boost of visibility for rides that go after the sun's gone down.

Stable and secure
Super stable saddle bag if packed correctly (just like any other saddle bag). The cradle system is really nice if you put heavier objects in first. Stuffing the bag took some finesse as the narrow end is hard to pack into if you have larger hands. The bag extends back past the cradle, so if you have heavier objects closer to the rolltop side, it's bounce around a lot. I also noticed this if the things I'm packing end exactly at the cradle. For example, my sleeping bag can pack in first, but ends up right at the end of the cradle. If I put clothes in next, then the clothes can bounce around as the only stability that end gets is from the compression strap. Just have to pack it smartly and it's all good. Didn't love that the bag secures with the same strap that attaches the cradle to the seatpost. A minor inconvenience if you're taking the bag off at the end of each day. I typically just loosened the straps and kept the bag in the cradle so it wasn't a deal breaker.
