Every bikepacking bag should be tested and developed in the abrasive surfaces and wild weather of the Scottish Highlands, and with Straight Cut it pretty much has been.
No better place for a custom split-frame setup for an attempt at the 2024 Highland Trail. I told Ross I wanted function over form - he laughed and assured me he could do both.
Logical design, quality materials and excellent craftsmanship combined to keep my kit where I wanted it, my bike functioning flawlessly and my legs doing what I needed them to.
Highland Trail complete, the bags are good as new and awaiting their next adventure, and many more after that.
Whole process was faultless. Ross was very helpful and very professional. The bag is exactly as I hoped, if not better! Well worth it even if my wife doesn’t agree!
What can I say about Ross and Straight Cut Design that hasn't been said already? A lovely guy to deal with - at no time did he make you feel anything other than the most important customer he has ever dealt with! His passion and attention to detail for what he does is blindingly obvious. It almost goes without saying that the quality of the product that he produces is literally second to none IMO. I could not recommend the product or the person any more - be it bespoke items that will fit your bike perfectly, or off the shelf ones that will probably last a life time, you'll find exactly what you're lookinjg for at Straight Cut. Chapeau Ross :-)))
I've been using my Straight Cut Design bag for years now and it's still working as well as the first day.
Couldn't recommend them enough, and the lead designer (Ross) is brilliant at what he does. Whether it's a standard bag, or a fully custom setup, his results speak for themselves.
Scotland is lucky to have a business like this.
The time, effort and attention to detail that goes into these bags is mind blowing. The process from start to finish is fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable. The finished product will 100% improve any adventure. Cannot recommend enough!
