Map Holders & Cases for MTBO & Outdoor Navigation
Keeping a map visible and protected makes navigation easier in demanding conditions. Map holders and waterproof cases are widely used for mountain bike orienteering (MTBO), adventure racing, hiking and other outdoor activities where paper maps need to remain accessible.

Handlebar-mounted models position the map in front of the rider, making it easy to follow the route while cycling. Waterproof cases help protect paper maps from rain, mud and general wear during hiking, camping, expeditions and outdoor navigation.

Choosing the right product depends on how and where you’ll be navigating.
Which One Do You Need?
Mountain bike orienteering uses handlebar-mounted holders that keep the map positioned in front of the rider for quick and convenient navigation while cycling. These pair well with a wrist compass, which leaves both hands free for the bars.

Waterproof cases are designed to protect paper maps during hiking, camping, expeditions and other outdoor activities where wet weather or rough conditions may damage an unprotected map.

Choose the product that best matches your activity and the environment you’ll be exploring. You may also want a control description holder to keep race information readable alongside it.
