Know before you buy
The bag uses a universal hook-and-loop strap system designed to attach securely to the vast majority of standard rear bicycle racks. As long as your rack has a flat top surface, it should be compatible.
With a capacity of 15.17 liters, it is sized for daily essentials like a change of clothes, a lunch, or a light jacket. The expandable design gives you extra room when you need to carry bulkier items, though it is not intended for heavy-duty touring gear.
The thick padding provides insulation that helps maintain the temperature of your items for short trips, such as a commute to work or a ride to the grocery store. It is not a replacement for a dedicated cooler, but it is effective for keeping a lunch or beverage cool during a typical ride.
The bag is constructed from durable ripstop fabric and ballistic nylon, which are water-resistant and will protect your gear from light rain and road spray. However, it is not fully waterproof, so we recommend using a dry bag or plastic cover if you are riding in heavy, sustained downpours.
Yes, there is an integrated clip on the back of the bag specifically designed for attaching a rear taillight. This, combined with the reflective accents, helps improve your visibility to drivers in low-light conditions.
