These look great bags and when I bought my Apidura frame bag it was a close thing. I have been running with my Apidura bags for a while now and have started to have a couple of issues with them and frankly, I think I might have made the wrong choice. Great review and hope 2024 is going well for you.
Hello JP. I looked at Apidura and almost went with them awhile back. I have heard good things about Apidura but it's good to hear your feedback on the brand. If you are considering Rogue Panda please consider using my affiliate link, I don't get much but every penny helps! lol Things are going good, making preperations to head to southern California in February to stay at my sister's place. I am planning on doing a 10-14 day tour while down there as well. I hope all is well with you, I am going to email you soon, i want to talk to you about the possibility of me heading to Thailand in the near future and how you would feel about showing me around?! Talk soon my friend.
Awesome review!! I am in Canada, ill check out your order link. Full, half and wedge frame bags. Where do you put your water bottle with a full frame bag? What color are your bags?
Hey Dave. Hopefully the link is still active, here it is roguepanda.com/?ref=omd25jqt The bags have been working great, they are extremely well made. As for water bottles, I much prefer to have them on the handlebars. I find if the water is easily accessible you will drink more often!! I use two different brands but I would highly recommend Oveja Negra Chuckbucket handlebar bags www.ovejanegrabikepacking.com/collections/handlebar-bags/products/chuckbucket-handlebar-bag None of these bags are cheap, but this is a case where you definitely get what you pay for. My bags are Wolf Grey in the EPX200 material. Please let me know if you have any questions. Also please keep in mind that these are custom made bags so it will take a bit longer for turn around times. Also shipping to Canada will add some delivery time to things. Cheers
Great bags Dean! So, you still aim to do the GDMBR next summer? Good for you. We will keep in touch though, because I should be heading your way in June or early July. Take care!
I have heard so many good things about the Rouge Panda Bags Dean, they do look very slick.
Very exciting about your trip to CA

These sound like great bags, Dean. I look forward to your review after you've used them. Have a great time in SoCal!
Thanks Agnieszka!

Always exciting to get new gear! Looks like a great setup!
Hi Julie! Almost time to start making plans for a Pelee Tour!!
@@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventuresyes! For sure!

Hello Jaque! Yes I am hoping to do the GDMBR in mid to late July. Yes let's keep in touch of course!
I will message you very soon my friend. Cheers
Cool custom,s bags last a lot longer than built so much better not to mention quality control..
Thanks Mark. I agree the attention to detail is usually superior. Cheers
