Scrolling through youtube while sipping some coffee and came across their youtube video. I’ve been waiting for the [MAAP + Apidura frame bag](https://maap.cc/us/products/maap-apidura-frame-bag-black) to go on sale but I might just pick one of these up instead.

I hope we see more smaller cottage makers thriving in the next years, the bigger companies are going nuts with pricing.

I don’t get the shape, not a fan for this small triangle pointing down in the front. Point of a half frame bag is to use your bottles without hassle.
At least they got some options for larger frames too, up to 53cm long.

Great, more expensive shit from this company, yay!

Nice. I like the fact the top tube bag can share the same straps, and the bottle dropper is kind of a neat idea. Pricey though!

Watched (more like scrolled through) their “complete guide” video. Laughed a bit:
>[Velcros] can rub again your skin, it can rub against your clothing, but more importantly [sic!] it can cause damage to your frame…
And other stuff like that.
While I like camping and bikepacking gadgets and smart gear and I ride a setup which probably would be considered more or less “aesthetically pleasing” [(c), Tailfin], all this faffing around a sleek look (oh, no, an ugly Velcro!) trying to save half a gram with carbon inserts and such does not bring joy into me (especially at the price) and I don’t really see a reason not to buy a 6-times cheaper Chineese frame bag here and spend the difference on beer and *****.
BTW, just remembered seeing an innovative frame bag: Fidlock makes a half frame that can be quickly removed from the frame. At least this might be useful for somebody who needs to do it in order to pass a security check or to board a vehicle, or to quickly leave the bike somewhere.
