The Nelson Longflap Saddlebag is one of our most popular bags. Its larger size and adjustable capacity make it ideal for longer rides including overnight stays. It is even great for commuting when you need to carry extra gear. The saddlebag comes with 3 leather straps for attaching to the bike. Traditional style and unsurpassed quality. Made from 100% waterproof 18 ounce cotton duck – the original performance fabric with self-sealing seams.  It is easily re-proofed and repaired.

Quality leather straps  keep their strength and looks no matter what weather and conditions they face. Buckles and fastenings are all metal – we know they can take decades of regular use. All of our saddlebags can be made without leather content - we substitute recycled fire hose material instead.

I love these bags

I ended up swapping the Nelson for the Lowsaddle Longflap - same but less depth. Wonderful quality, attractive tartan lining, good old fashioned hand made stuff. I'm using it with a Bagman QR Sport.

Stylish bag that hold my stuff

Really great properties, compared to a bag that for example doesn’t hold any stuff. Easy to carry, easy to attach. The best part is that these bags age really well, like me and wines.

Review of Originals Nelson Longflap Saddlebag

Absolutely love it! Hits the sweetspot in terms of capacity. External pockets increase the versatility of this ace design. In combination with the quick release support, it is a winning formula. Fantastic.

Fabulous Product. Great Customer Service

My new Nelson Longflap Saddlebag is so good. Loads of space. Quick release. The customer service was also brilliant - couldn’t be more helpful after I accidentally ordered the wrong colour. Thank you
