World's First Double-Sided Add-on Pocket Module Bag for Brompton

Inspirations come from everyday surroundings

 

When riding a Brompton, most carrier bags have their water bottle fitted on the back of the bag for easy access, but have you ever wondered “What if I wanted to detach the carrier bag from the frame and take the bag for a walk?”

To achieve a comfortable to carry Brompton bag, Wotancraft designer Albert Y. came up with the world’s first Add-on Pocket Module Brompton carrier bag.

 

“Birth of the PILOT”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Up till now,
Wotancraft’s Best Module System Bag

 

“1 + 2 Add-on Module System Bag for for different scenarios”

 

By integrating WWII tactical MOLLE concepts to the design, Albert Y. has come up with the new Add-on Module System PILOT Bag for Brompton’s front carrier frame. With the help of YKK quick-release buckles, module pockets can be taken off and installed to the strap loops located on the front and back of the bag in a blink of an eye.

 

 

Transform the PILOT Travel Camera Bag into a carrier bag simply by detaching the front pockets and installing them on the back of the bag. This way, access to your important belongings and water bottle will be made much easier.

Other than that, by attaching a shoulder strap to the Add-on Pockets, they could also be used as individual sling bags, convenient for strolling around when stationed at a certain location during a bike journey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lighter the Better

 

“PILOT for BROMPTON - Light on the shoulders & on the bike”

 

In the 2022 upgraded Brompton for Pilot, we added the Fidlock and Quick-Adjust Shoulder Strap as standard features so that users could have a smoother experience when using the Pilot bags.

No matter commuting on a bike or by transportation, who wouldn’t like to carry a lesser load? Wotancraft has taken this into consideration and kept the PILOT just under 900g, allowing a more delightful journey for you.

 

“How does the PILOT for BROMPTON Series achieve such lightweight?”

 

Built entirely from lightweight CORDURA ®, the PILOT’s canvas is at least 60% thinner than traditional canvas, 50% lighter, 10 times more durable and also tear-resistant.

Also, by reducing the use of leather and switching metal accessories to “Duraflex Accessories” (also used by Columbia / Patagonia / Mystery Ranch / Lululemon), furthers the weight reduction of the bag, leaving precious room to carry more gear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CORDURA® Waxed Canvas

 

 

“Water Repellent, Anti-Tear & Lightweight”

 

For the love of the canvas, early Wotancraft bags were built from traditional waxed canvas. However, due to the bulkiness of traditional canvas, Wotancraft has developed a new lightweight CORDURA Ⓡ Waxed Canvas. Presented as cotton-like fabric, the new CORDURA Ⓡ canvas is soft and durable, unlike ordinary CORDURA Ⓡ that has a plastic-like texture.

Wotancraft’s CORDURA ® 500D Waxed Canvas is 50% lighter than traditional waxed canvas and is coated with Teflon and PU Laminated Interior Coating to repel rain from seeping into the bag.

With use, WOTANCRAFT waxed CORDURA ® bags will develop light shaded scuff marks, similar to the “fading” effect you find on raw denim pants. Even with the lack of leather and metal accessories, the PILOT still inherits Wotancraft’s “Vintage Soul” vibe.

2022 Pilot for Brompton Upgrade

 

Feel the Smoothness in Action

Designer Albert Y. designed the Pilot's usage based on human instincts. Adding the FIDLOCK and new Quick-Adjust Shoulder Strap System only increases the smoothness when in action.

※ The 2022 version is optimized for the BROMPTON frame. The top opening of the back panel and bottom tripod straps are canceled, making it smoother when turning the handles.

 

 

 

 

Features

Padded just like professional camera bags

Built with an interior padded with thick shock-resistant padding, the PILOT ensures the safety of your precious gear even on bumpy roads.

 

 

 

Specially designed by Wotancraft, the Zipperless Lid + “Triangular Side Flaps” allows the lid to be flipped all the way to the back of the bag, making it easy to access the main compartment. When closed, the side flaps on the lid prevent rainwater from seeping into the bag and avoids small accessories from falling out of the gaps
