<\/p>\nGreat news for bikepacking enthusiasts!<\/p>\n
I’m very happy to introduce the new Fork Pack from Fairweather.<\/p>\n

<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYou may think these are pannier bags at first glance, but that is not the case.<\/p>\n
These bags are more like \u201crack-less pannier bags.” It’s not exactly a cargo cage either. The most unique feature about these bags is that you could attach the bags directly on to the triple eyelets on the fork. No additional straps are required to fix your stuff, so you can achieve a lightweight and beautiful set up.<\/p>\n

There are three major features that make these bags appealing.<\/p>\n
\u2460Strong Holding Power \u2461Lightweight There is of course a tradeoff to this. The bag is light, but the bag does not have a quick release function and they are not 100% waterproof. That said, even with that trade-off, the benefits of these bags are clear.<\/p>\n The Fork Packs are available in two sizes : \u2462Simple Packing These features and capacity settings were applied after many tests by riders from all over the world, before production.<\/p>\n I would first like to thank \u201cGeno ATB” an ATB crew from Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>As mentioned earlier, the bags attach to the fork directly, so the bag will not move around or fly off while riding off road.
\nYou could enjoy your ride without worrying about your load when encountering a gravel path along the way.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/u.jpeg\")

\n<\/strong>Here are some weight comparisons with the same type of products as the Fork Pack.
\n– FAIRWEATHER 2.5L : 233g
\n– FAIRWEATHER 5L : 298g
\n– ORTLIEB 4.1L : 275g
\n– Tailfin 5L : 387g<\/p>\n
\n2.5L – Perfect for stowing sleeping bags or tent tarps. Bar bag+frame bag+fork pack x2=a neat balanced packing. It’s a versatile size.
\n5L – Great for stowing items that are around 40cm, such as tent poles. They are also large enough to easily hold groceries and other items.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260430-DSC05734.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>No additional straps are required for packing. All you have to do is load up the bag and close the roll-top closure.
\nWe tend to cut corners when it comes to packing when we’re tired from the long trip. This is when the Fork Pack really shines, since you can just throw everything in the bag.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a.jpeg\")
