The COG "GOOD CREW CAB" is a variable handlebar bag that opens wide, embracing both daily life and camping with its unique ability to swallow everything. When camping, your gear inevitably increases.
But for everyday use, you want a sleek, minimalist look...
The COG "GOOD CREW CAB" squarely addresses these conflicting desires.
At first glance, it appears to be a standard handlebar bag. However, when needed, the back panel "flips open," transforming into an expanded space akin to a cargo rack.
This isn't just a concept; its perfection is truly appreciated through actual use. Allow us to introduce a handlebar bag that seamlessly connects the ordinary and the extraordinary!
The biggest feature of the GOOD CREW CAB is its expandable structure located on the back of the main compartment.
When expanded, it forms an "open cargo rack" shape with the bottom fabric remaining.
With two webbing belts each on the top and bottom, and one on each side, items can be powerfully compressed, eliminating worries about them falling out.
Tents, sleeping bags, down jackets, folding chairs—even long items like firewood.
Things that are difficult to store in ordinary bags can be securely fastened with this structure. Its open design offers high versatility, expanding your ideas for what you can carry.
By sandwiching a roll mat at the back, you can also prevent the bag from tilting forward (the so-called "bowing"). This is not just a gimmick; its practicality has been meticulously considered.
When the expandable structure is folded, it transforms into a sleek handlebar bag. The main compartment has a capacity of approximately 2.8L, enough to store everyday essentials such as portable tools, an air gauge, tubes, and a bike bag.
With internal pockets for organization, it's suitable for everything from touring to city rides.
In winter, it's also useful for temporarily storing outerwear you take off. Even thick jackets can be easily tucked in, freeing you from compromises like "I'll dress lightly in case it gets warm."
The bold functionality when expanded and the natural appearance when folded—this sense of balance is the true value of the GOOD CREW CAB.
Materials and Color Variations | Playfulness and Practicality
COG's characteristic freedom is also reflected in its choice of materials.
CORDURA® 500D
A classic fabric that evokes the feel of traditional American outdoor gear. It offers an excellent balance of durability and price, making it a recommended choice for a first bag.
Splatter Paint (1000D)
A playful design with a splatter pattern extending even to the straps. Full of fun, it has a presence that can make it the star of your bike.
TECHNOFORCE® STEEL
An ultra-lightweight, high-strength material made from Dyneema-based fibers. It's so light it floats on water, yet incredibly tough. As you use it, wrinkles will form, allowing you to enjoy the changing texture.
The new pink color is a subdued salmon tone, perfect for an accent.
COG is an alternative line by "VISIONARY," a Japanese garage brand.
It embodies a yearning for old American outdoor style and a relaxed sense of freedom. The design philosophy leaves room for the user's imagination, without overly restricting its purpose.
The GOOD CREW CAB is an extension of this idea. Thoroughly crafted, yet in a good way, somewhat "carefree" and unpretentious.
That's why it can blend into daily life and also be used for adventures.
