  • Rackless Carry Systems for Bikepacking | by Dave Chenault As discussed in the introductory article to this review of techniques and gear for lightweight bikepacking, carry systems for bikepacking have enormous demands placed on them. Not unlike during difficult bushwacking or scrambling on foot, a load for bikepacking must stay put, or risk potentially dire consequences. Unlike hiking, modern bikepacking rigs distribute their load amongst a system of bags, allowing for the adjustment of weight and volume to suit the riding and the rider. This article will discuss the origins and application of these systems for the three types of backpacking defined in the introductory article, and review two bikepacking seat bags by leading manufacturers Revelate Designs and Porcelain Rocket.
