New Hincapie Duffel and Gear Bags

PRESS RELEASE: Hincapie Sportswear (Hincapie), manufacturer and marketer of distinctive clothing for the performance cyclist, has introduced the Hincapie Pro Duffel and Hincapie Pro Pack that provide two new options for carrying cycling apparel and gear. Like the other garments and accessories in the Hincapie Spring 2010 collection, the new Pro Duffel and Pro Pack are loaded with features and benefits aimed at cyclists.

“These new bags were developed with the cyclist in mind,” said Rich Hincapie, president of Hincapie Sportswear. “We really thought them through from the user’s standpoint. Riders will appreciate the special features like, a hidden helmet holder, a removable laundry bag and a special integrated pocket to protect your sunglasses.”

Measuring 12”x13”x25”, the new Hincapie Pro Duffel (MSRP $79.99) is large enough to carry clothing and gear for any cycling adventure, whether riding a one-day classic or doing the whole tour. The generous main compartment features a removable internal divider and numerous organizational mesh pockets. Separate helmet, shoe and water bottle pockets keep things in place, while the zippered pocket at the base of the bag separates wet and dry items. A molded, fleece lined pocket inside prevents damage to sunglasses, while a variety of external tool and accessory pockets provide additional storage options. The durable 420 denier ballistic nylon bag features a reinforced 800 denier ballistic nylon bottom with a padded shoulder strap for easy carrying.

The Hincapie Pro Pack (MSRP $89.99) is large enough (13”x7”x22”) to load everything needed for race day or for an extended ride/commute to work or school. The large, divided main compartment features a zippered mesh security pocket for smaller accessories. A dedicated hydration pocket with hose port provides versatility on and off the bike. A removable, nylon laundry bag is perfect for commuter storage needs. The hidden, adjustable helmet holder deploys when needed, while the additional mesh side pockets are ideal for pump, tools, water bottles and accessories. The ComfortAir ventilation system, with padded shoulder straps, back panel and hip belt, improves comfort while the full suspension system with adjustable load lifters keeps the pack securely in place. Reflective trims and a hidden, integrated rain cover improve visibility and commuter versatility.

The new Hincapie Pro Duffel and Hincapie Pro Pack are available now at Hincapie retailers nationwide or on the company’s website at www.hincapie.com.
