Get the pack off your back The Showers Pass® VelEau™ 42 is a unique, bicycle-mounted hydration system, designed specifically for mountain, road, triathlon, touring and recreational cycling. The VelEau Hydration System eliminates the need for a cumbersome backpack-style hydration pack; and is a safer and more easily accessible alternative to traditional down-tube mounted bottles.

The Coffee Bag is a tribute to Seattle’s favorite brewed beverage.  Made out of food-grade, waterproof TPU fabric, the Coffee Bag is a versatile dry bag that can be used for anything you want!  Throw in your lunch and use the two-point attach system to secure the bag just about anywhere on the bike – under the seat, on top of your your rack, or even in your water bottle cage!  Or just use it as a dray bag to toss in a pannier.  Just like there are a million ways to order your favorite coffee drink, there are a million ways to use your favorite Coffee Bag! We’ve made five finely crafted blends, each dedicated to riding in a state we love: The Evergreen Blend: ride through the forests and around Mt. Rainier in our home state of Washington. The Mile High Blend: ride through the alpine wonderland of Colorado. The Highway 1 Blend: ride down the Pacific Coast Highway in California. The 10,000 Lakes Blend: ride through the 10,000 lakes and Twin Cities in Minnesota. The Lighthouse
