The latest collaborative drop from Specialized and Fjällräven is the most eccentric one yet, and it includes a mix of highly practical and totally unexpected items. Check out the convertible hip pack/backpack, wearable quilt, the smallest vest we’ve ever seen, handlebar/shoulder bag, and more here…

Following last year’s releases, Californian bike brand Specialized and Swedish outdoor brand Fjällräven are back with an interesting new batch of gear. They say this latest collection is optimized for riding and camping and is “comfortable and fun to use on all spring and summer bikepacking adventures.” Find a few highlights from the S/F Exchange below, plus a link to explore the whole collection.

The 13L S/F Handlebar Rolltop is, as its name implies, a roll-top handlebar bag that’s designed to fit on the S/F Handlebar Rack released last year. It’s waterproof, accessible while riding, has vertical compression straps, and doubles as a shoulder bag for use off the bike. The S/F Handlebar Rolltop is available in Black and Green, measures 23 x 31 x 22cm, and weighs 395 grams. It costs $120.

Made to help you stay dry on and off the bike, the fully waterproof S/F Rain Poncho has a unisex design with a helmet-optimized hood, taped steams, and reflective details on the sleeves and back. It has a longer cut at the back for comfort while seated, and extended cuffs with clever loops that go over your hands. An inner chest band helps keep bulk from getting in the way or catching wind while you’re in a forward-leaning ride position. The S/F Rain Poncho is offered in Ochre and Black, several sizes, and weighs 522 grams in size S/M. It costs an eye-watering $370.

S/F Gear Vest
