- Description
The Food Pouch has long been a staple for bikepacking, offering a simple yet effective solution for carrying essentials like snacks, water bottles, or small gear that needs to be within easy reach. Its versatility has made it a go-to choice for riders taking everything from weekend rides to global tours.
However, rider feedback revealed a growing trend of using Food Pouches for non-food items, such as gloves, charging cables, headphones, or small power banks. This raised challenges, including security, lack of mounting options and concerns about water ingress when storing electronics.
To address these needs, we developed the Expedition Stem Pack—an easy-access pack with a welded, waterproof construction. Unlike traditional Food Pouches, it offers flexible capacity, enhanced weather protection, and versatile mounting options.
The Expedition Stem Pack is designed for riders tackling both long-distance tours and everyday bikepacking adventures. It offers a convenient, easily accessible storage solution to safely and securely hold a variety of items in a welded, waterproof design.
With multiple mounting options, the pack allows for creative placement across the bike, extending to hardware like racks and baskets, allowing riders to optimize storage without compromising the often-limited space on handlebars.
- 1.3L Capacity
- Simple and secure Fidlock magnetic closure for one-handed operation
- Easy one-handed access
- Secure three-point mounting system, with flexible mounting options via vertical and horizontal lash loops
- Compressible design allows the pack size to adjust to its contents, enhancing stability even when carrying smaller loads
- Subtle taper to prevent knee contact when pedalling out of the saddle
- Seam-welded waterproofing
MATERIALS
The Stem Pack is made from a three-layer laminate fabric that was developed specifically for Apidura. The material is lightweight and highly resistant to tears and abrasion. Notably, it’s welded together at the seams, creating a watertight seal that ensures complete waterproofing.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Wash the Stem Pack by hand, using a mild diluted soap if necessary. Afterwards, let it air dry.
Do not machine wash, machine dry, or iron.
APIDURA
We’re an independent, family-run business of cyclists, makers and problem solvers, brought together by a shared mission to find better ways to explore the world by bike.
Apidura was born from necessity; pioneering ultralight, rackless packing systems to help us take our love of cycling further and allow riders to unlock their instinct for adventure. As devoted adventure cyclists, we design with our fellow riders in mind, creating products that address genuine needs and bring new value to the bikepacking scene. We create the best packs we can, using technical materials and precision crafting techniques – and when we find a way to improve them we do so straight away and without fanfare. We don’t do ‘seasons’, limited editions or discount our gear – we simply create the best possible technical bikepacking gear that’s built to last.
