FAQs

How is the bag secured without a rack?

The bag features a holster that attaches directly to your bike's seatpost using adjustable straps and a magnetic buckle system. No separate rack is required.

What is the total capacity of the bag?

The bag has a total capacity of 14 litres, provided by the included dry bag.

Can I adjust the bag's capacity?

The capacity is fixed at 14 litres by the included dry bag. The bag itself does not offer expandable volume.

Is the bag waterproof?

The included dry bag is designed to be waterproof. The outer holster is made from durable, water-resistant nylon.

How do I clean the saddle bag?

Clean the bag using a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning materials. Allow it to air dry thoroughly.

What makes the magnetic buckle special?

The patented magnetic buckle is designed for quick and easy adjustment, allowing you to tighten or loosen the straps even while wearing gloves, which is convenient during rides.

Is this bag suitable for long-distance touring?

Yes, its 14-litre capacity and durable, rackless design make it suitable for bikepacking and long-distance touring where carrying capacity and ease of setup are important.

Troubleshooting

Bag slips or shifts during ride

Ensure the seatpost straps are tightened securely. Check that the bag is positioned correctly on the seatpost and not interfering with saddle rails. Consider using the additional paracord ties for extra stability.

Magnetic buckle is difficult to fasten/release

Check for debris or obstructions in the buckle mechanism. Ensure the straps are not twisted. The buckle may require a firm, direct motion.

Water ingress into dry bag

Ensure the dry bag is rolled and sealed correctly according to its own instructions. Check the dry bag for any punctures or damage.

Wear on nylon webbing or straps

Inspect regularly for fraying. Minor fraying can be carefully trimmed, but significant wear may require replacement of the bag.
