Product Information
Full details
The Albion Stowaway Musette is an ultralight, packable cycling bag designed for endurance riders and commuters who need an extra storage solution without the bulk of a traditional pannier or seat bag. Weighing only 15 grams, it offers a high-performance solution for carrying extra food, layers, or essentials during long rides, though it is limited to a 750-gram payload. Crafted from durable, water-repellent Pertex Quantum fabric, this musette balances minimalist design with practical utility, folding down small enough to fit inside a standard jersey pocket or even a handlebar end.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The musette is designed to carry a maximum load of 750 grams.
Can it be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash the bag in cold water to preserve the DWR coating and fabric integrity.
Is the material waterproof?
It features a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which is highly water-resistant, but it is not fully submersible waterproof.
Where can I store it when not in use?
It is small enough to fit in a jersey pocket, a saddle bag, or even inside some handlebar end plugs.
Does it have a closure mechanism?
The musette features an open-top design for quick access, making it ideal for grabbing items while on the move.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems less effective after heavy use
Dirt and oil can clog the DWR coating; perform a light hand wash to remove surface contaminants and restore effectiveness.
Bag feels unstable when loaded
Ensure items are distributed evenly within the bag and do not exceed the 750-gram weight limit.
Pros and Cons

- Packs down small enough to fit into a pocket
- Pleated design maximizes internal storage volume

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply unfold the musette to use it. To pack it away, fold the fabric into itself until it reaches its smallest size. Due to the Pertex Quantum material, it is best to hand wash with cold water and mild detergent when dirty. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the Endurance DWR water-repellent coating. Always ensure the bag is completely dry before storing it for long periods to prevent fabric degradation.
