Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Escapist Wedge Bag is a compact frame bag designed with clever geometry for bikepacking setups where space is at a premium.

Osprey says: 

The Escapist Family allows you to build a comprehensive bikepacking kit to fit you, your bike and how you ride just right. The waterproof Escapist Wedge Bag is cleverly designed with variable angles and can be mounted forward or backward to fit a wide array of bike geometries. Featuring waterproof zippers and multiple, variable attachment points with soft anti-scratch hook-and-loop straps.

Our Verdict

At 160g and offering 2 litres of storage, this structured wedge bag is ideal for stashing ride essentials, such as tools or snacks. The asymmetrical shape is versatile; it can be mounted in either direction to better suit your frame, and it tucks in nicely without brushing knees. The RF-welded seams and waterproof fabric give it strong protection in wet conditions, and the bright zip pulls are easy to handle with gloves. Good for gravel loops, multi-day bikepacking trips or building a modular setup with limited frame space.
