Old Man Mountain Hemlock Bags

The Hemlock system uses a bolt-on mounting method designed for forks with mounting points. All necessary mounting hardware is included in the box, ensuring a secure, stable fit that won't shift during rough rides.

Yes, the FLIP cages are fully functional on their own. They feature built-in strap slots, allowing you to lash down other gear like water bottles, dry bags, or extra supplies when you aren't using the included Hemlock packs.

The bags feature a roll-top closure, which is highly effective at sealing out dust, mud, and rain. While they are designed to be weather-resistant, they are not fully submersible, so it is best to use dry bags for sensitive electronics in extreme downpours.

Each bag offers 7 liters of capacity, which is plenty of space for a lightweight sleeping system, extra layers, or a dedicated food stash. The roll-top design also gives you some flexibility to compress the load if you aren't filling them to maximum capacity.

Because the system mounts directly to the fork, the weight is kept low and centered. This placement minimizes the impact on your bike's handling compared to traditional handlebar or saddle bags, keeping the steering predictable even on technical terrain.

The flat-bottom construction allows the bags to stand upright on their own when you set them on the ground. This makes packing and unpacking much easier, especially when you are trying to organize gear at a campsite or on the side of the trail.
