Product Information
Full details
The Altura Dryline Waterproof RackPack is designed for daily commuters, tourers, and bikepackers who require a reliable, weather-proof storage solution for their rear bike racks. Its primary strength lies in its patented Dryline taped lining, which keeps electronics and documents bone-dry during heavy downpours, though users should note that the 9-liter capacity is best suited for daily essentials rather than long-range heavy equipment transport.

FAQs
Is the Altura RackPack fully submersible?
While the Dryline technology is highly waterproof and keeps contents dry in heavy rain, it is not intended for full submersion in water.
Does this bag fit all bike racks?
It is designed to fit most standard rear bike racks, but ensure your rack has a flat top surface for the most secure fit.
How do I attach the shoulder strap?
The strap clips onto the side D-rings; ensure you hear a distinct click to confirm it is securely attached before lifting.
Can I use this for mountain biking?
Yes, it is durable enough for gravel or light trail riding, though ensure the straps are extra tight to handle vibration.
What is the Molle webbing for?
It is a standardized mounting system that allows you to attach compatible accessory pouches, lights, or extra gear clips.
Is the bag machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the bag to preserve the integrity of the taped seams and waterproof lining.
Troubleshooting
Bag shifts while riding
Re-tighten the rack attachment straps to ensure there is no slack between the bag base and the rack platform.
Buckles become difficult to snap
Check for debris or dirt inside the buckle mechanism; clean with compressed air or a soft brush.
Strap feels uncomfortable
Adjust the shoulder strap length to distribute weight evenly across the torso and ensure the padding is positioned correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your RackPack, ensure your bike is equipped with a compatible rear rack. Secure the bag onto the rack deck using the provided straps, ensuring a tight fit to prevent shifting while cycling. For maintenance, clean the polyester exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical detergents that may damage the waterproof coating. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing it for long periods to prevent mold or mildew growth. The removable shoulder strap should be stored inside the lid pocket when not in use to avoid entanglement with bike wheels.
