It’s a trapezoid bag, and it kind of claps open like a trap too, so Tenzin has been calling it Fabio’s Clap Trap. And so, here it is… we are selling you a Clap Trap.
But this is a fancy Clap Trap. This 3.7L, hard-bodied, top-opening, reverse-randoesqué bag sack is pure luxury on the handlebars. It opens truly one-handed while riding, allowing the user to snack and grab contents (camera, light jacket) with ease. The front of the bag is taller than the rear, making a nice trap for your things so they don’t jumble out. A snack backstop. I have been using a prototype of this bag for over a year now, and I think it’s our best ever—combining the powers of the Fabs Abs and Fabs Fanny. This should replace both in our lineup moving forward.
The adjustable elastic drawcord allows you to either affix it over the stem like a rando bag, or it can neatly tuck into the loop in the back, like in the product photos.
The side pockets also have an adjustable elastic drawcord that lets you expand or cinch down depending on what you put in there. I often have my phone on one side and my Ricoh GR camera on the other.
The bag is water-resistant. The trap claps back into itself, making for a tidy weather blocker when closed. The side pockets are not covered on top, so those are not for a rainy day.
This round is offered in three fabrics—but confusingly enough, the tans are two different types of Connecticut-made X-Pac sailing fabrics. Both are stronger than they need to be and water-resistant. The X50 has a polyester face, and the X11 is cotton-faced. If you are trying to decide between the two, flip a coin.
The black tulip all-over print is X-Pac RVX30. It’s a lighter fabric than the tans, but plenty strong.
