An enduro weekend means two days off-road, a change of clothes, wet boots in the evening and a meadow somewhere as your changing room. The Albek Meridian in Poseidon Blue takes the rummaging out of it, because its 165 litres are divided into fixed zones from the start.

The strong blue with orange details makes a statement in the paddock. If you like to spot your bag at first glance, this colour does the job.

Why the Poseidon Blue suits the enduro weekend

One highlight is the foldable changing mat, which Albek describes as 100 % waterproof. You roll it out next to the van, do not stand in the mud while changing, and fold it back into the bag afterwards. On top of that comes a boot compartment whose waterproof liner can be pulled out for cleaning.

What the blue Meridian gives you

• Changing mat, foldable and 100 % waterproof according to Albek
• Pull-out waterproof liner in the compartment for boots and knee braces
• Padding for helmet and protectors
• Integrated compartment for goggles plus room for lenses and roll-offs
• Main compartment for several complete kits
• Ventilated compartments against musty smells

Two days, several kits

A fresh outfit for each of Saturday and Sunday? The main compartment of the Poseidon Blue is designed for exactly that. Chest protector and technical underwear go in a compartment of their own, and gloves for dry and wet special tests go in the elastic pockets. The ventilation, which Albek calls “Anti Bag-Tang”, lets worn kit breathe a little between the stages.

From the car park to the start area

You pull the loaded blue bag behind you on the extending handle, and its tough wheels sit on a light, moulded base. Empty it weighs 5.22 kg. Where the terrain is too rough for wheels, you carry it a short way by the padded Albek Cush handle.

Poseidon Blue in mud and dust

The blue on matt 600D polyester, backed by 1680D Ballistic nylon, hides dark splashes quite well. Light, dry dust shows up more than on black. In return, the orange accents stand out among all the dark bags in the pit.

Who the blue Meridian is worth it for

• Enduro riders at multi-day events
• Motocross riders who often change outdoors
• Anyone who likes to travel with a bag that has some colour
• Riders with kit for two or more days

Before you order

According to Albek, only the mat and the boot liner are waterproof, so rain can get through the blue outer fabric. At H 90 × W 40.5 × D 45.5 cm the Meridian belongs in the van, or in the hold as a large piece of luggage. If you fly, check your airline’s rules beforehand.

Verdict

With the Albek Meridian in Poseidon Blue you get a colourful wheeled gear bag that gives you changing room, boot rack and wardrobe in one at the enduro weekend.
