Osprey Escapist Handlebar Bag

The Escapist Family is designed to let you build a comprehensive bikepacking kit tailored to you, your bike, and your style of riding. The Escapist Handlebar Bag Large is built with rugged, water-resistant fabrics and RF-welded seams to protect your gear in wet conditions. With reflective accents for visibility and glove-friendly zippers, it offers easy mid-ride access when you need it most.

Curated Bikepacking System

Thoughtfully designed as a modular system, Escapist on-bike frame bags adapt to any rider and any adventure. Mix and match components to suit everything from short gravel rides to multi-day expeditions.


Multi-Frame Compatibility

Thanks to an innovative holster system, the Escapist Handlebar Bag fits most standard handlebars, including drop bars.


Highly Water-Resistant Protection

Built to handle unpredictable conditions, Escapist on-bike bags use rugged, water-shedding fabrics, RF-welded seams, and waterproof zippers. The Handlebar Bag features a discreet air-purge hole to release pressure and improve compression and stability.


Rider-Focused Design

Convenience in the saddle is key. Reflective elements enhance safety, double-ended glove-friendly zippers allow quick access, soft hook-and-loop attachments protect your bike, and external lashing loops add functional versatility.

Our job most importantly is to encourage as many people as we can to get out and ride for transport and enjoyment. We'd love to make riding a bike as commonplace as your morning cup of coffee, which by the way is our other obsession.
