About Merit Gear

We believe that every adventure is unlike anything else. The exciting idea of making an unforgettable journey can be made in split seconds, but preparing for it can take months or even years. While some people invest in a Custom Titanium Gravel bike, others finally take their old rusty pedal bike out of their shed to begin a new chapter in life. Merit Gear wants to provide gear for the whole community: from ambitious Transcontinental racers to lovely retired couples who want to show that they still have the perseverance and energy to inspire the world.

Merit Gear strives to deliver great gear for good prices to give hesitating minds a little push towards initiating their first bikepacking adventure.

All our gear is produced in-house by two brothers who try to balance student life and developing bikepacking gear.

It does not matter if you are into cycle touring, adventure touring, gravel biking or any (un)supported bikepacking adventures,
we take our time to sit at the drawing table.

Every custom bikepacking bag is designed using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software in order to obtain the final frame measurements.

Heel fijn contact gehad met Mathew. Hij dacht goed met me mee en heeft me echt goed geadviseerd. En het resultaat mag er zijn! Een hele mooie half frame bag! Super netjes gemaakt. Degelijke kwaliteit en mooie features! Ik ben er blij mee! Ga zo door 👍

I got my framebag 1500km ago and am super happy with everything so far. The ordering process was enjoyable. Its possible to customise you bag exactly to your needs and the people are very helpful in contemplating what best fits your needs. The framebag fits perfectly in my bike and after being rattled around for a long time has no loose threads or other indicators of wear and alongside oversized zippers gives me trust in the longevity of my bag

I contacted Mickey to ask if he had made Wald basket bags before .. His answer was that he hadn't done this yet, but was fully satisfied with the challenge. After a few emails and requirements, Mickey himself came up with some super useful features. All my requirements were met and I got a piece of craftsmanship. The bag is of super high quality and the stitching is perfectly executed. The Custom Merrit Gear brothers have a happy customer, and I already have some nice other projects for them. Thank you Mickey and Matthew for the nice and friendly negotiations. Kind regards Jason

My custom frame bag from Merit Gear is just amazing! Mickey was willing to take lots of his time to adjust the bag to my wishes and necessities. It was easy to discuss everything with him, as he always made time for me. The bag just fits perfectly and seems very robust, and is in my point of view the most beautiful frame bag out there!!! Now let's see how it will react to my next big adventures...! 🙂

Mickey is a great framebag maker. In 2019 I ordered my first framebag. After some photo’s of the bike and some clear communication, he delivered a perfect fitting bag, which is still in use. In 2020 I ordered my second one for another bike and am very pleased with it. Mickey is kind and works very professional. He sure can compete with other bag makers, if not better.

Everything from the first e mail exchanged was super... Mickey from Custom Merit Gear is superb when it comes to talk to costumer... They let you costumize everything in your bag which from that range of prices you couldnt find anywhere else, they got an app that measure your frame so it can fit perfect. Im really glad i found their company because i might have bought something that is not unique and pay more... 5 stars out 5... if only there were more stars to rate...
