I was in the market for a top tube bag and everything I found was a bit too short or a bit too long. I reached out to Joe at JPaks to inquire about a 12” top tube bag. He was very happy to make me a 12” bag to fit my needs (Footlong SnakPak). It’s been a perfect addition to the JPaks RukSaks already on my rig. JPaks attention to detail makes for a quality product. If you’re looking for that perfect fit and design, look no further.

I absolutely love my half pack. In the Winter it is perfect for packing extra gloves and all the necessary tools. In the summer I love the freedom of not having to wear a hydration pack during long rides exploring Colorado singletrack. The quality of my handcrafted pack is second to none. Thanks Joe! This pack has changed the way I ride.

Joe makes bags for the long haul with craftsmanship second-to-none. After seeing some photos of my setup online Joe had even reached out to ensure I was happy with the fit, and offering to make alterations. That speaks volumes about his attention to detail and dedication to quality.

Putting together a bikepacking kit for my fat bike or gravel bike is like having a blank canvas to express myself artistically. I love to think outside the box and find something that speaks to my personality, my passions.

But since I am not talented in actually creating the bags this is where a partnership with JPaks is super special.

Joe is amazing. His skills are exceptional and his work is done with careful, thoughtful consideration, never rushed, and done with razor sharp attention to detail. It’s the little details that stand out to me from the unique interior that I ask for him to incorporate into my kit and the collaboration of thread or accent colors to tie everything together in a subtle but sharp way. I love how Joe carefully creates each bag with optimum space, convenient access points, secret pockets and knows how to create my bags to be secure and supported on my bike. Joe also very much respects my wish for individuality and what we create together is mine and mine alone. Joe is kind, gracious and a good human being. He has been a huge support to my self supported adventures. Thanks for all your hard work and for creating superior bikepacking gear, Joe!

Joe,

Many of the community who know me often comment on your craftsmanship as really excellent. I’m glad that I finally went to jpaks for this latest bike build.

Awesome bag solid and purposeful and it fits just right

I have gone out to ride in the slop with some of the roads drying but others are rather messy. My new 12 inch SnakPak holds a lot of gear and of course snacks. Survival knife, tire gage, gels, iPhone, small pkg of facial tissues (just in case & drippy winter nose), headlamp, notepad & pen, small camera
