The Nelson Saddlebag is one of our medium sized bags in the Originals Range. It is handmade using the best materials around. It is also durable and waterproof which makes it the ideal saddlebag to use in all weathers.
It is similar to the Nelson Longflap but without the extendable lid option.
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 firehose material instead. Contact us for more information

Want a saddle bag, but your saddle doesn’t have bag loops?
- For small bags you can use Saddle Loops which bolt onto your seat rails.
- Or choose the Bagman Quick Release Clamp – which means you can take your saddlebag with you when you leave your bike.
- Larger bags will benefit from a Bagman support – especially if you will be carrying heavy loads.

I use this for my everyday commute, fits everything I need for the day, light jacket, bike tools, extra tube, shoes and pack lunch. Still has more room for more. 🙂 I love the classic green color, knowing that it’s handmade, enjoying it with the QR bagman expedition for an easy install.
