Making Custom the New Standard

Design agency
Specializing in Bikepacking bags, cut-and sewn manufacturing, and custom design
Made in Delft

I am currently in high-demand mode. Please contact me before placing an order

I want to make sure I can accommodate your order within a time frame that works for both of us!

Update on the workshop:

I recently moved to a new workshop in Delft! I am still in the process of reorganizing and setting up the space. Now that I’m no longer working from my student room anymore, I can finally have people over!

Feel free to stop by, but send me a message first… Then I can make coffee!

Step 1: Choose your Custom

Every Frame Bag is custom and made to order, making it impossible to show you the product before the purchase.
Using our Double Decker Frame Bag Configurator, you can play with many different color composition before you commit to buying a bag.
(New update release soon)

Step 2: Design & Engineering

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 our FrameInsight process in order to obtain the frame measurements.

Step 3: Production Process

After obtaining the measurements and finalizing the design, all unique pattern parts go through a nesting algorithm to achieve the most efficient fabric use as possible.

The parts are lasercut to increase production speed, efficiency, and precision. From this point, I will begin sewing and assembling
your Custom Frame Bag!

Geweldige kwaliteit custom tas, handmade in nederland voor een scherpe prijs. In persoonlijk mail contact werden alle wensen voor de tas doorgevoerd. Alles is bespreekbaar. Geweldige service en vakmanschap. De tas bied voldoende ruimte voor de kleding die je savonds in de berghut aan hebt, waardoor je alleen met een drinkrugzak hoeft te fietsen.

Geweldig nette tassen, volledig naar wens gemaakt. Heb zelf nu een full frame bag en een top tube bag van Merit, beide zitten goed stevig vast, zijn waterdicht en slijtvast. Getest en goed bevonden tijdens bijvoorbeeld AcrossThe3, Atlas mountain race en meer... 10/10

Merit Gear are world class!!! I’m so happy with the quality and the look of the bags. Having ordered them all the way from Australia it was exciting to receive them and see the brilliant quality and fit. I’m now 3500km into a trip and they are holding up super well. Couldn’t be more stoked with this product and the customer service from the team.

De tassen van Merit Gear zijn echt fantastisch! Ze zijn praktisch, waterdicht, past veel in, stevig en ook nog eens heel mooi:) zelf hou ik erg van kleur, dus de tassen heb ik ook heel fleurig ontworpen (ook super leuk dat dat kan, zelf je kleuren kiezen). De frametas heeft hij mij aan de ene kant een groot geel vlak en aan de andere kant blauw, ik word altijd vrolijk om er weer mee op fietsvakantie te gaan. Nogmaals bedankt Mickey voor het maken!

Purchased a couple Popcorn Bags from MeritGear and absolutely love them. They secure nicely to the bars and have tons of space. Thanks a ton Mickey! Great product and highly recommended.

I've been using a Merit Gear Framebag for 1,5 year and 15.000km. The framebag is of outstanding quality, durable, waterproof and has proven itself in virtually every condition. Designing and ordering via the website went smoothly and Micky even brought the framebag to me personally to ensure it would be there on time for my trip, which was on very short notice. An absolute 10 out of 10 for the framebag and the founders behind Merit Gear are also absolute stellar. I would definitely recommend brand this to any bikepacker or biketourer looking for high quality or custom made bags.

Efficient fitting process and fast shipping by these guys. Took the full framebag on a 2000 km trip basically right out of the box and was not disappointed. You can fit incredible amounts of stuff into the bag and it never gets in the way and the seams hold. It also keeps out rain reasonably well. It would be nice if the screw holes for the down and seat tube were covered by some fabric or velcro flap from the inside - but thats just a personal preference. Would buy again.
