Though the release of Old Man Mountain’s FLiP system isn’t new, their collaboration with small bag makers across the bikepacking space is. In a move that promotes a sense of collaboration, Old Man Mountain has made their FLiP system technology available to smaller bag makers. Per Erik Fenner of Old Man Mountain, “Bikepacking kit is very personal, and there are so many great bag makers. We love our Hemlock bags, but we know they aren’t going to be the ideal bag for every rider. We’re excited to offer FLiP to other brands and so stoked to see and use the bags these other makers are offering.”
