Revelate Designs:

Revelate, originally Epic Designs, the OG of frame bags, was issued a cease and desist letter from Specialized, because Specialized claimed they owned the word ‘Epic’ in the bike world. Epic Designs, to small to fight an international company, changed to Revelate.
Im very disappointed with Oertlib stuff
This has put me right off Apidura! Nice to hear real opinions from someone who has clearly used the products in the video. Too many reviews from people who have just taken things out of the packaging. Thank you!
the biggest takeaway i have from this review is that i chose well in buying a rockgeist roll top frame bag because your experiences with zippers sound like a nightmare
The Revelate Feedbag is also way better.
Ahhh. I feel you on zippers. It's not just bags. My OR jackets have failed twice because of zippers. I have 2 or 3 backpacks that are done because of zippers. It's now the #1 thing I look for in new outdoor gear: a heavy zipper that will stand up.
Love ortlieb but far to complicated and you need to take night classes to figure out how to fit it properly especially items like the ortlieb frame pack RC toptube.
Did you try Restrap? U.K. based company. I'm all with you on the "" harness & drybag" over "stuck to the bike" bags, and am also not charmed by the looks of Revelate...
A good angle to take for the evaluation, Kev. I agree that Ortlieb has fantastic customer service as they replaced my commuter pannier after it started to unstitch after 4 years. For bikepacking I've gone down the Topeak route which has been pretty satisfactory.
Great reviews! I love your critical evaluation of both the customer service and endurance of these products. I've had excellent experience with both Revelate and Ortlieb products (sans zippers). Recently, I've come across Tailfin products and gotta say that for any serious pikepacker or commuter, these have to be considered. Hope you can review some of the Tailfin products.
great to get a non-embassador review, thank you. I think this is the only way forward for unbiased reviews.... 👌
Great review and love the energy you bring. Feels different to other bikepacking channels - very refreshing!
I've seen a few videos of yours by now, and really my compliments! Great videos, love your honest and enthausiastic personality, and a lot of valuable (like I said, honest) information! Thanks!!
Great video. Open close, open close. That was killing me. You really nailed it on this break down. Thanks much. I’ve used used both ortlieb and revelate and it’s great stuff
Absolutely love the Ortlieb bags. I have the handlebar and seat pack. I use the seat pack for my sleep set up. It fits my bag, pad and pillow easily. Even a puffy coat too. Waterproof, durable... great stuff.
I needed this video no lie just put me on game thank you 🙏🏾
Great review- well-founded, honest and fun at the same time!
Great video. My wife and I are preparing for our first long bike pack and are researching gear. Your video gives a good overview of the pros and cons of each bag and will influence our purchases. Thanks
Have an Apidura frame pack from the Expedition series, it lives on my bike permanently. Carries the TexLock, all the tools and a spare tube just in case my tubeless setup completely gives up on me. Then it gets stuffed on shopping commutes, or on longer weekend rides. Haven’t had an issue with the zipper at all. That being said, with the bolt on top tube from the same collection I did have an issue. If the zipper is not closed snug, it will let some water in, which I luckily learned while washing the bike with the bag being empty. Learned how to close it properly and no issues whatsoever. Their racing series has a top tank with a flap like Revelate, and it is hands down my favorite. I replaced it because I wanted my bags to match. On the topic of Ortlieb and zippers, they have a frame pack with roll-top closure that looks great in black with orange details. Also a top tank with a magnetic flap, but damn the thing is ugly!
Great video, dude. Was looking at the Rev frame pack already. Sold me.
