Hi!
My name is Maikel and I am a 25-year-old passionate athlete and business owner. I'm a runner at national level, through some unfortunate injuries I got into cycling and later swimming, which led me to focus on triathlons! After a few years where cycling was my main sport and everything else was an afterthought, I found a new balance where running at my old level was made possible by seeing cycling as support rather than an alternative.
In 2021, I managed to perform well at national level and qualify for the European 10,000m under-23 championships! This has given me new perspectives and motivates me to get everything out of the sport in the coming period.
How the pack got started
I live along the southern North Sea coast in the Netherlands, which makes loving cycling very easy because of the beautiful views and fun routes. While cycling, I found it annoying that my phone, coins, keys and tools were all loose in the pocket of my shirt. This resulted in using small freezer bags, but they are not quite optimal as my keys could still scratch my phone and the bags would rip every few rides.
That's when the idea of developing the Pack Essentials Case for all-weather use was born. A handy water-repellent case with multiple pockets for different uses.
Since then the collection grew to include bags used for daytrips and longer. In an expensive world I am motivated to offer great quality items for an acceptable price.
I hope you enjoy The Pack as much as I do. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Zit lekker. Gewoon goed spul!
Being a style purist I've been more than sceptical towards bar bags in general tbh. But I have to say my Pack Snack Bag must be amongst the best purchase decisions of the year. Feels and looks high quality, keeps all my essentials safe and dry and frees up my jersey pockets.
Ik stuurde in het weekend een berichtje via de website. Kreeg duidelijk en snel antwoord (ook al.was het weekend). Mijn vraag betrof de vernieuwde versie, rondom het opbergen van kleingeld.
Er zit nu een afsluitbaar vak in de binnenkant, kleingeld blijft er goed in zitten. Ik heb heel wat research gedaan naar een tasje om mijn telefoon in op te bergen plus kleine benodigdheden. Missie geslaagd. Waar andere tasjes niet passen in een vrouwenshirt (ik draag maat s) past dit tasje wel qua breedte. Qua lengte steekt hij er minimaal bovenuit.
Zeer tevreden in gebruik.
Pochette très bien finie.
Matériaux de qualité.
J'y glisse mon téléphone, mes clé et mon multi-tool.
Parfaitement étanche sous la pluie.
Je recommande.
Gereedschap, binnenband en bandenlichters passen er perfect in. Mooi plat formaat dat zo in de achterzak past. Stof is waterdicht en een perfecte vervanging van het ziplockzakje dat ik eerst gebruikte.
Great handlebar bag, can fit a good amount of stuff so it keeps your pockets free. Easy to install on the handlebars. It's solid and won't bounce with the three conncection points.
It says water resistant only, but during a recent rain downpour everything in the bag remained bone dry. So that is great.
When removing the bag from your bike, because the straps are not permanently attached, you'll need to store them somewhere (otherwise they might fall out). This is good because you can replace them if needed, but the bag is a bit less easy to take off multiple times in a route. So best to keep it on if you can keep your bike in sight.
Practical and good quality
Great build quality and size!
I purchased the snack bag for my road racing bike, top uses for a planned mountain trip in the South of France. The bag is awesome, exceeded my expectations. Easy to install, a lot of room and takes a lot of the pressure of filling my backpackers. Also the small net on the left hand side is handy for used packages - and to keep track of how much I took along the way.
Very practical, easy to pur on and off, looks good.
Mooie strakke vorm, stevig, past precies in het frame, voldoende bevestigings mogelijkheden die ook nog eens te verplaatsen zijn. Rits is mooi weggewerkt.
Ik gebruik zelf de 'original' al een aantal jaar. Handig in gebruik, super gemakkelijk in je shirt weg te stoppen. Alle nodige en kostbare zaken direct voor handen. Nu ook een exemplaar aangeschaft voor mijn zoontje die aan het fietsen is geslagen. Geen getob meer met plastic zakjes of iets van dien aard.
Goof size fits well in the back pocket of my jersey .
Holds my pump spare inner tube and a few credit card size plastic cards.
Hatte vorher ein günstigeres Modell eines anderen Anbieters, dieses war jedoch nicht wasserdicht und Geld, Handy usw waren immer nass geworden - das ist bei dieser Tasche nicht der Fall - hab bekommen wonach ich gesucht hatte. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.
Prijs kwaliteit een mooi en aangename broek met mooi motiefje in.
