A real asset for bikepacking

With its 9-litre capacity, theOxford Aqua Evo Adventure is a natural fit on the handlebars of a gravel, touring or adventure bike. Its size makes it easy to carry clothes, a waterproof jacket, lightweight camping gear or other equipment needed for a multi-day adventure.

The double-wrap closure is particularly handy for adjusting the bag’s size to its contents. It also prevents you from wasting space when the bag isn’t filled to capacity.

Effective protection against the rain

One of the main advantages of this pannier is its IPX6 waterproof rating. The TPU Ripstop material and welded seams are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. Oxford states that the bag is designed to withstand heavy rain and mud splashes encountered on cycling trips.

For use in very wet conditions, however, it is still recommended that you close the roll-top fastening securely to ensure the bag’s waterproof properties work properly.

Well-designed storage

The Aqua Evo Adventure isn’t limited to its main compartment. A zipped front pocket keeps essential small items within easy reach: wallet, keys, maps or accessories. The external elastic cord is handy for slipping on a jacket or item of clothing you want to keep close at hand.
