Getting ready for a bike race or a weekend ride trip issomething we always look forward to and now with the Maratona Gear Bag fromSilica, getting packed up is easier than ever with its cycling specific travelbag. It's designed with feedback from pro riders creating a gear bag that'soptimized for traveling with cycling gear. Silca constructs the Maratona from sturdy 600D nylon andwaxed canvas, ensuring a long life. On the inside, a bright red 100D nylonlining provides contrast so it's easier to find items inside. These materialsare staples in the Silca bag lineup as they've proven to be durable, reliable,and resistant to weather. The quilt stitching is reflective keeping you a bitmore visible in low-light and the Silca branding lets other cyclists know thatyou have sophisticated taste and style. Three external handles make the bageasy to carry, even if you have a bike in the other hand, and stow-ableshoulder straps allow the Maratona to easily transform between a duffel bag anda backpack. Inside the bag is a vented shoe compartment, with internaland external access, as well as a vented damp garment bag, pockets for toolstorage, and internal holsters for water bottles. These features help to ensureyou have everything you need for your upcoming trip and are super useful postride when you want to keep your used kit separate from other clothes andessentials. One of our favorite features is the ability to completely unzip thepadded top to lay flat on the ground serving as a changing mat and a great wayto keep your feet clean. Another clever detail on the Maratona is its ability to meetairline carry-on luggage size while flying (55 x 35 x 22cm or 44L) while alsoallowing for it to expand to 60L (60 x 40 x 25cm) if you are checking the bagor not traveling by plane.
