Product Information

Full details

The Restrap Saddle Bag 18L is designed for serious bikepackers, long-distance tourers, and commuters who need a high-capacity, rack-free storage solution. Its primary benefit is a stable, sway-free carry system that protects gear in any weather condition, though users should be aware that the 18L capacity requires a significant amount of seatpost clearance for proper mounting.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this bag waterproof?

Yes, the included dry bag is rated IP6K6, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets and dust ingress.

Does it work with dropper posts?

While it can be used with some dropper posts, it is generally recommended to use a dropper-specific harness or ensure there is enough clearance so the bag does not interfere with the mechanism.

Can I use this on a carbon seatpost?

Yes, but exercise caution. Ensure the straps are not overtightened and use protective tape on the seatpost if you are concerned about abrasion.

How much does the system weigh?

The bag is designed with a balance of durability and weight in mind; specific weights vary by production run but the nylon construction keeps the overall mass low relative to its 18L capacity.

Where is this product made?

The Restrap Saddle Bag is handcrafted in Yorkshire, UK.

Troubleshooting

Bag sways side to side during pedaling

Ensure the primary retention straps are pulled tight against the seatpost and that the dry bag is cinched firmly into the holster.

Bag touches the rear tire

Adjust the angle of the holster upward and ensure the dry bag is not overstuffed; if clearance remains an issue, consider a seatpost extender or a smaller bag volume.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely stable with zero sway during technical riding
Fully waterproof dry bag keeps equipment bone-dry
Easy one-handed operation via Fidlock magnetic buckle
Handcrafted quality with durable nylon materials
Fits virtually any bike frame without requiring mounting bosses

Cons

Requires substantial seatpost clearance to fit the 18L volume
Not compatible with many ultralight carbon fiber seatposts due to high clamping force
Can be bulky for riders who do not utilize the full volume

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, wrap the main holster straps securely around your seatpost and tighten them until there is no lateral movement. Ensure the holster is clear of your rear tire before starting your ride. For the dry bag, pack your heaviest items closest to the seatpost to maintain a low center of gravity. To care for your system, simply wipe the nylon holster down with a damp cloth after muddy rides. The dry bag can be cleaned with mild soap and water; avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can degrade the waterproof coating. Regularly check that the tension straps are tight after the first hour of riding, as nylon webbing can occasionally settle.
