FAQs
Is the Restrap Switch Pannier waterproof?

Can I use this bag without a mount?
No, this bag is specifically designed to work with the Hiplok x Restrap Switch mounting system.
How much weight can it hold?
While the bag is durable, it is recommended to keep the load within reasonable limits for a 5-litre bag to maintain bike handling stability.
Does it include a shoulder strap?
The bag is designed as a modular pannier; carrying convenience is provided by the quick-release handle.
Can I mount this on the handlebars?
This bag is designed for fork bosses or rack mounting; it is not intended for handlebar use.
How do I clean the exterior?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Troubleshooting
The bag feels loose on the mount.
Check the connection point for debris and ensure the Switch clip is fully engaged and locked into the mount.
Water entering the bag during heavy rain.
Ensure the roll-top is folded at least three times and that the side buckles are fully tensioned to create a tight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bag, ensure you have the Hiplok x Restrap Switch mount properly installed on your bike's fork bosses or rack. Once the mount is fixed, simply align the injection-moulded clip on the back of the pannier with the mount and press until it clicks securely into place. To remove, use the quick-release mechanism to slide the bag off the mount.
For care, wipe the outer nylon fabric with a damp cloth after rides in muddy or dusty conditions. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the waterproof coating. If the inside becomes dirty, rinse it with mild soap and water, then hang it to air dry completely before storage.
