FAQs
What is the main advantage of the BOA Fit System on this bag?
The BOA Fit System allows for quick, precise, and secure tightening and loosening of the bag's attachment to the seat post, making it easy to install, remove, and adjust without tools.
Is this bag truly waterproof?
Yes, the EVOC Seat Pack BOA WP 16 is constructed with waterproof material and features welded seams, making it capable of keeping your contents dry even in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Can I attach extra gear to the outside of the bag?
Yes, the bag features elastic cords on the outside, allowing you to attach additional equipment that you need quick access to, such as a rain jacket or pump.
What is the purpose of the TPE material?
The soft TPE material is used to protect your seat post from scratches and damage that might occur from the bag's strap or constant friction.
How do I choose between the 16L and smaller versions?
The 16L version is ideal for multi-day tours and expeditions requiring significant gear capacity. Smaller volumes like 6L or 8L are better suited for day trips or micro-adventures where less storage is needed.
How often should I clean the bag?
It's recommended to clean the bag after particularly muddy rides or when it appears dirty. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will maintain its appearance and material integrity.
What kind of cycling is this bag best suited for?
This seat pack is very versatile and suitable for road biking, gravel biking, and mountain biking, especially for touring, bikepacking, and long-distance adventures.
Troubleshooting
Bag wobbles excessively on rough terrain.
Ensure the BOA Fit System strap is tightened sufficiently around the seat post. Double-check that the fastening loops are securely attached to the saddle rails.
Difficulty opening or closing the BOA Fit System.
Check the BOA dial and cable for any obstructions or dirt. Gently clean the mechanism with a soft brush or damp cloth and ensure the cable moves freely.
Contents are not staying dry.
Verify that the roll-up opening is closed tightly and securely. Ensure the bag's material and seams are intact and not damaged.
Bag interferes with pedaling or heel strike.
Adjust the bag's position on the seat post if possible, or consider if a smaller volume bag would be more suitable for your bike setup and riding style.
