Troubleshooting
Bag feels unstable or shifts during ride
Ensure all hook-and-loop straps are tightened securely against the frame. Check that the bag is not overloaded, which can cause it to sag.
Zipper is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. A small amount of silicone lubricant can help improve smooth operation.
Water seeps through seams during heavy rain
While highly water-resistant, the bag is not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider using dry bags inside the frame bag for critical items. Inspect RF welded seams for any damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Escapist™ Frame Bag utilizes soft hook-and-loop attachments to secure the bag to your bike's top tube and seat tube. Position the bag within your frame triangle, ensuring it doesn't interfere with pedaling or water bottle access. Cinch the hook-and-loop straps snugly for a stable fit. For added security, utilize the external lashing loops to tie down the bag if necessary.
Compatibility: This bag is designed with multi-frame compatibility in mind. The Small size is intended for frames with limited space or for riders who prefer to carry fewer items. Measure your frame's internal triangle dimensions to ensure the best fit, as variations exist across bike models and sizes.
Care: To clean the bag, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew. Periodically check the zippers for debris and clean them gently. Inspect hook-and-loop fasteners for wear and tear.
