This is BIG news. Outer Shells’ most requested bag is finally coming to market. Today, the San Francisco brand releases its Mega Bar Bag. If you’ve been one of the many customers waiting on this bag, you may be asking: “What took so long?”

This is what Outer Shell says, “Well, it seems that many large bags like this on the market always end up dragging on your wheel, folding over your head tube, or flopping around the bumpy stuff. It’s tough to carry this much charcuterie without any type of metal support. So… we put one in“.

The Mega Bar Bag has a 3D aluminum structure sewn between the layers, which took over a year to design and perfect. So it’s kind of like a bag with a rack built into it. The new Mega Bar Bag is designed to be mounted using three attachment options: on the handlebars, behind the saddle, or on a rack.

There are plenty of other features that help the Mega Bar Bag stand out, including huge stretch pockets, a zippered top pocket, and expandable volume and straps. It comes in a bunch of colors as well, like Black, Olive, Brown, Cow, Leopard, Multicam Black EcoPak, and Marigold EcoPak.
