Salsa EXP Series Side-Load Dry Bag

Engineered for Adventure-Ready Storage

Ideal for mountain bikers and gravel grinders tackling multi-day tours or unpredictable weather, this dry bag combines rugged durability with intuitive design. Its fixed-height side-loading structure allows quick access to gear while mounted on your bike’s Anything Cradle™ (sold separately), eliminating fumbling during steep descents or river crossings.

Key Innovations:
✅ Military-Grade Waterproofing: Fully welded seams (IPX8-rated) protect electronics, clothing, and food from moisture—even in torrential downpours
✅ Dual-Zip Access System: Top-loading zipper + bottom magnetic flap enable one-handed retrieval of snacks/tools mid-ride
✅ Dynamic Compression: Patented AirLock valve removes 80% of trapped air for compact storage without compromising contents
✅ Vibration-Resistant Mounting: Reinforced strap channels + non-slip rubber pads prevent shifting at 25mph+ speeds

Scenario-Specific Benefits:
– Gravel Grind Efficiency: Fits 2L water bottles + nutrition packs within easy reach on long rides
– Winter Riding Readiness: Keeps gloves/hydration systems unfrozen in -20°C conditions
– Airline Compliance: Collapses to 12″L x 8″W for carry-on luggage savings

Competitive Edge Matrix

Crafted from abrasasion-resistant TPU with UV-stabilized coatings, this bag withstands gravel washes better than conventional nylon models (field tested in Moab’s slickrock trails). The integrated reflective trim improves nighttime visibility at 300 lumens per square inch—3x brighter than standard gear markings.

Perfect for:
✔️ Enduro racers needing split-second access
✔️ Winter commuters battling slush buildup
✔️ International travelers requiring TSA-friendly compression

Built to endure 10,000+ miles of trail abuse while maintaining silent operation (unlike noisy PVC alternatives), this is the ultimate hydration/food storage solution for cyclists prioritizing reliability without bulk.
