Carradice Nelson Longflap Saddlebag 18L

A classic large-capacity saddlebag for touring, commuting and longer days out.

About this product

The Carradice Nelson Longflap is a traditional British saddlebag with 18 litres of capacity, giving you useful extra room for layers, tools, food, waterproofs or light touring kit.

Handmade in the UK from waterproof 18oz waxed cotton duck, it uses Carradice’s longflap design, allowing the bag to expand when you need to carry bulkier items.

What sets it apart

The longflap closure gives this bag more flexibility than a standard saddlebag. It can be kept neat for everyday use, or extended when you need extra carrying space.

Why we like it

It’s one of the proper Carradice classics: tough, repairable, understated and genuinely useful for riders who want traditional luggage that lasts.
