Friends who play outdoor sports know how important outdoor waterproofing is, especially for bicycle lovers who ride long distances on the Sichuan-Tibet line. The waterproofing of food, clothing, mobile phones and wallets, bank cards, and licenses is particularly important. There is another one. That is, the cycling equipment package needs to be firmly suspended, so that you can enjoy peace of mind and enjoy the fun of riding while traveling.

What brand of bicycle bag is good? So, let's integrate the rough common sense about domestic bicycle bags.

Here we mainly discuss the waterproof packs, that is, the packs processed by the high-frequency seamless welding process. Not waterproof is not in the scope of discussion (carry bags of canvas fabric can also use a rain cover to achieve rain protection, but it is not in the scope of discussion).

In fact, the manufacturers that can produce waterproof bicycle bags are not weak. The brand is not the most important. The brand is mainly trust and service guarantee.

The bicycle bag is nothing more than the pursuit of the following needs:

1. The suspension is stable and firm

2. Durable and resistant to damage

3. Decent appearance, don't be too ugly

4. Prevent rainstorm and dampness

5. Service Guarantee

There are two factions in the pack on the market: the German family and the domestic family are the mainstream. The German family mainly represents Ward. The domestic brands are mainly Le Hyun, Rhino, Cheerful, Hai Zelong and so on. The German department talks about configuration, domestically speaking, cost-effective, and the production is mainly made in China. The difference between craft and quality will not be too great.

Packs are mainly divided into waterproof and non-waterproof. The main waterproof material is pvc clip net or pvc coating, or nylon tpu membrane. The canvas is not waterproof but durable and scratch resistant.

The difference between the German family and the domestic production is mainly in the generation difference in hanging fasteners. The German willing materials and first-mover advantage hold a lot of patent rights, that is, the fastener has the advantage of leading or even monopolizing. Domestic production is not willing to invest in fasteners. Many purchases of fasteners from some brands such as Weisheng are not cheap, but the function is general, there is no innovation for many years, and one model has been sold for more than ten years.

I would recommend the new domestic brand Hai Zelong's Dragon Claw 2nd generation blessed bicycle pack, which greatly narrowed the gap with the German fasteners. Reliable, bumpy when riding, and can't be slammed, plus a quick release, these functions are only equipped with the German first-line brand function fasteners, and now also have domestic production. And the price is very fair.

In fact, about Hai Zelong, it is not too well-known, but it is not actually a new brand. It has made some achievements in climbing adventure bags, river upstream waterproof backpacks, waterproof bags, and cycling drinking bags, mainly for personalized customers Groups, gamers pursuing ultimate quality and practical functions, should pay more attention to this brand.

Because most domestic brands pursue rapid efficiency, they are slightly behind in development and innovation. Several major brands do not develop their own fasteners, but only focus on marketing. On the contrary, Haizelong takes into account the basic construction, such as fasteners and new materials R & D such as integration has intensified.

The price of the German line is generally a thousand yuan, while the domestic price is now competing to the 200 yuan level. Due to the lack of brand image of domestic brands for a long time, it is a long way to go to achieve a brand premium, and it is really difficult for domestic brand to carry a bag for more than 300 yuan.

However, if the image is not good, first practice internal skills. Once the domestic brands break through the barriers of the German family, they will quickly break out into a new world. After all, they have entered the 5G era and will soon refresh consumers' views on this industry, so as to be outdoor The "Huawei"-domestic brand of equipment establishes an image and lays the foundation.

Returning to the topic of bicycle packs, in addition to the difference in the suspension system of bicycle packs, there are also differences in the structural design and appearance design of the pack. These are all about practicality, user experience, perspective communication and cultural metaphors.

In addition to the firmness and detachability of the suspension system, the rigidity of the other frames of the bag, such as the back panel and corner protector, has an effect. It cannot be too thin or too soft, but it cannot be too thick, too Thickness reduces weight reduction.

Speaking of the main body storage bag, some designs have a front zipper pouch, some are designed as elastic rope mesh pockets, and some are designed with some webbing straps for hanging.

Structurally, in fact, simplicity is good-looking, and complexity may be easy to use. For example, if there is a small front pocket, it is convenient to put some small things, but in the actual scene, the usability of the small bag is very low. Valuable items such as mobile phones and wallets will not be placed in the front pocket. After all, it is in the blind spot; tools? It is possible, but for a long-distance cyclist, the front bag, the beam bag, the triangle bag can be stored, and even the big bag can be stored, so that the usability of the front small bag is very low. This design, I personally Always insist that it is not worth designing and waste costs. But it is very practical to make a plug-in such as a helmet and wet clothes.

In appearance, black is the most practical, dirt-resistant, low-key, is one of the favorite of male riders. The yellow line is also the preference of many riders. Black is matched with gray and a small amount of highlight colors. It is also very beautiful, stable, low-key and bright.

Regarding the materials used, the general waterproof grade packs are thicker or thinner, and there is no big problem. The key is toughness, scratch resistance, and waterproofness. Generally speaking, if it is too thick, it may weaken the score in terms of weight reduction and reduce the portability. If it is too thin, it may cause a risk of scratch resistance and waterproofing. Relatively speaking, the nylon-tapped tpu fabric is more scratch-resistant, and the cost of pvc clip nets is lower.

Hi, it ’s fun to ride

In short, there is a lot of choice for bicycle packs. Choose cost-effective or brand glory, each with its own positioning. As a light rider, I tend to be pragmatic.
