Restrap Equipment Rental

There’s an old adage… Outside is Free. And while it costs nothing to breathe in fresh air and admire the view, we know that getting there can be anything but free. Bikepacking can be an amazing low-cost way of travelling and exploring, but there’s no escaping the fact that the initial outlay isn’t always within reach of everyone.

Add on to this the fact that at Restrap we believe in UK manufacturing and making only the highest quality products. That means that while we firmly believe our range represents excellent value for money, gearing up for that first bikepacking trip isn’t exactly cheap, especially if you need to buy a tent, sleeping bag and other gear too.

We want bikepacking to be accessible to everyone though, regardless of budget and prior experience.

Another way

That’s why we are delighted to be working with Bike Trailer Hire to offer Restrap bikepacking kit for hire at affordable, flexible prices.

Whether you are dipping a toe into bikepacking and want a short-term one night rental, or planning a longer expedition, then Bike Trailer Hire has got you covered. They even offer an option to purchase the gear after use, with a discount applied, so if you find you’ve caught the bikepacking bug you can just keep riding…

The benefits of hiring

We chatted with Bike Trailer Hire founder, Sarah, when she came and met our team in May. Her company – Pursue Boundaries – also operates hire programmes for wetsuits, turbo trainers, paddleboards, snow clothing, camping equipment and more.

Sarah explained the benefits:

“Regardless of the product, our customers regularly feedback how useful our hire service is. For many, it is a more sustainable, more practical option than buying outright. It means customers get to try out a new pastime – using quality products – for less money."

• Hassle-free: Door-to-door delivery, with flexible hire periods
• Affordable comfort: Opportunity to test out multiple models to make sure you enjoy it, at affordable pricing
• Flexible hire period: From a long weekend to a big trip
• Lifestyle choice: Can’t decide if bikepacking is going to be for you – hiring removes the risk of buying products you might not use again.
• Sustainable: Hire the right product for you, but only when you need it, and live safe in the knowledge that every product will be used to its full potential rather than gathering dust in a cupboard.
• Storage & maintenance solution: The rental model means you don’t have to worry about storing and maintaining items when not in use

How it works

Bike Trailer Hire currently has our “big three” in stock to hire; bar bag, saddle bag and framebag from our bikepacking range. All are available in various sizes. Simply select what you need and select your required rental period.

They deliver nationwide and include a pre-paid returns label for sending back.

If you need any help choosing sizes, or guidance on how to fit our products, our “How-to” videos are there to help, as well as the Bike Trailer Hire team on hand to answer your questions.
