Cycling rose in the cradle of the industrial revolution - the European continent, which is still the most important cycling area in the world. European countries have built special bicycle sports roads, which is very convenient. Europe also leads the world in the application of bicycle equipment. Therefore, Germany, a major manufacturer, is a major manufacturer of bicycle equipment. Backpacks for riding were first popular in Europe. A pack bag like a postman's bag is very popular with cyclists.

In contrast, China is a sub popular country under the influence of European outdoor sports.

Friends who play outdoor sports know that outdoor waterproof is very important, especially for cyclists who ride on the Sichuan Tibet line for a long time. The waterproof work of food, clothing, mobile phones and wallets, bank cards and licenses is particularly important. Another is that the riding equipment bag needs a firm suspension system to make the journey worry-free, reassuring and efficient, so that they can enjoy the fun of riding.

What brand is a bicycle bag? So, let's integrate the rough common sense about domestic bicycle bags.

Here we mainly discuss the waterproof piggyback bag, that is, the piggyback bag processed by high-frequency seamless welding process. What is not waterproof is not within the scope of discussion (the piggyback bag made of canvas fabric can also be protected from rain with a rain cover, but it is not within the scope of discussion).

In fact, the manufacturers who can produce waterproof bicycle bags are not weak. The brand is not the most important. The brand is mainly trust and service guarantee.

Bicycle pack is nothing more than the pursuit of the following needs:

1. The suspension is stable and firm

2. Durable, operation resistant and not easy to be damaged

3. The appearance is acceptable. Don't be too ugly

4. Rain and moisture prevention

5. Service guarantee

In addition, let's tell you some common problems in the use of piggyback bags:

1. Scraping the chain or rear wheel - the design of the back of the pack is unreasonable

2. The suspension device is easy to break and not durable, and the toughness quality of the suspension system materials used is not enough

3. The suspension system is not firm, unstable and shaking, and others will be thrown out during riding, which is the problem of the overall backwardness of the suspension system

4. It can only prevent water splashing and light rain, and the materials used are not high waterproof

5. The reflective area on the bag is insufficient, resulting in safety risks

6. The matching between suspension and shelf is limited, that is, it can not widely match all kinds of frames

7. The scratch resistance of the material is poor, and the bag pierces after falling several times

To avoid the above problems, it is not easy to choose a qualified piggyback bag.

As a large manufacturing country, China is also a large manufacturer of bicycle equipment. There are many factories for bicycle bags, and there are many R & D institutions and design departments. It has gone through a difficult journey from imitation to innovation.

At present, there are two pack factions on the market: no more than German and domestic, which are the mainstream, and German mainly represents ward. Domestic brands mainly include lexuan, rhinoceros, Kaixin, sedagon, etc. Germany stresses configuration, while China stresses cost performance, and the production is mainly made in China. The difference between process and quality will not be too great.

The picture above shows the piggyback bag of German system, and its suspension system is very advanced.

Germany is willing to use materials and first mover advantage, and has mastered a large number of patents, that is, it has a leading or even monopoly advantage in fasteners. Domestic products are reluctant to invest in fasteners. Many purchase fasteners of Weisheng and other brands. They are not cheap, but their functions are general. They have not been innovated for many years, and each one has been sold for more than ten years.

Piggyback bags are mainly divided into waterproof and non waterproof. The main waterproof materials are PVC mesh or PVC coating, or nylon bonded TPU membrane. Canvas is not waterproof but durable and scratch resistant.

The main difference between German and domestic is the generation difference of suspension fasteners.

Outstanding representative dragon claw generation 2 suspension system. The second generation of dragon claw blessed bicycle bag of domestic brand sedagon has greatly narrowed the gap with German fasteners. It's reliable. It's bumpy and can't be thrown off. In addition, it can be pulled out and removed quickly. These functional fasteners are only equipped by German first-line brands. Now they are also available in China. And the price is very reasonable.

Sedagon is not a new brand. It has made some achievements in rock climbing adventure bags, river tracing waterproof backpacks, waterproof bags and cycling drinking water bags. It is mainly aimed at personalized customer groups. Players who pursue ultimate quality and practical functions should pay more attention to this brand.

Because most domestic brands pursue rapid efficiency, they are slightly behind in development and innovation. The mainstream brands do not develop fasteners themselves, but only focus on marketing. On the contrary, haizelong takes into account the creation of foundation, such as fastener and new material integration.

The price of domestic products is 200 yuan, while the price of German products is 200 yuan. Due to the long-term absence of the brand image of domestic brands, there is a long way to go to reach the brand premium. It is really difficult for domestic brands to sell bags for more than 300 yuan.

However, if the image is not enough, practice internal strength first, once the domestic brand breaks through the barriers of German department, it will soon rush out of a new world. After all, it has entered the era of 5G, and will soon refresh consumers' views on this industry, thus laying the foundation for outdoor equipment HUAWEI's domestic brand image.

Back to the topic of bicycle bag, in addition to the differences in its suspension system, there are also differences in the structural design and appearance design of the bag. These are all about practicality, use experience, perspective communication and cultural metaphor.

In addition to the firmness and detachability of the suspension system such as the fastener, the stiffness of other frameworks of the bag body such as the rear PE plate and corner guard plate are also affected. It can not be too thin and soft, but it can not be too thick. Too thick reduces the lightweight.

When it comes to the main storage bag, some designs have small front zipper bags, some are designed as elastic rope mesh bags, and some have designed some webbing for external hanging.

In terms of structure, in fact, simplicity is good-looking, and complexity may be easy to use. For example, if there is a small front bag, it is convenient to put some small things, but in the actual scene, the availability of the small bag carrying the bag is very low, and valuable items such as mobile phones and wallets will not put the front small bag. After all, it is in the blind area of perspective; Tools? It is possible, but for a long-distance rider, the front bag, beam bag and triangle bag can be stored, and even the piggyback bag can be stored in the big bag. Therefore, the usability of the front small bag is very low. The designer has always insisted that this design is not worth designing and wastes the cost. But it is very practical to make it into a plug-in, such as putting helmets and wet clothes.

In addition to the carrying function of the bicycle, it also has the convenient carrying performance after removal, such as single hand holding and single shoulder carrying.

In appearance, black is the most practical, dirt resistant and low-key. It is one of the favorites of male riders. Yellow is also the favorite of many riders. Black and gray, with a small amount of bright colors, are also very good-looking, stable, low-key and bright spots.

As for materials, generally, there is no big problem if the waterproof pack is thicker or thinner. The key is to meet the standards of toughness, scratch resistance and waterproof. Generally speaking, it is too thick, which may weaken the score in lightweight and discount the portability. Too thin may cause risk of scratch resistance and waterproof. Relatively speaking, the nylon TPU fabric has better scratch resistance, and the cost of PVC mesh clip is a little lower.

In short, there is a wide choice of bicycle bag. Each has its own positioning whether to choose cost performance or brand glory. As a light rider, I tend to be pragmatic. The rise of domestic bicycle backpacks gives consumers more benefits and dividends. Why not?
