Café du Cycliste – Bike Packing Saddle Bag

Designed for further adventures, the Saddle Pack is built from fully waterproof fabric, with a robust ‘shell’ section that attaches to the saddle and seat-post and an inner removable dry-bag; to keep your belongings protected and easily accessible. The pack fixes to the seat-post with large nylon and Velcro straps and reinforced anti-vibration webbing; plus an additional fixing strap through the saddle rails which is fully adjustable. The main cargo compartment – the removable dry-bag – has a compression valve to release the air once packed and closed, to fit it securely into the shell section.

With a 10-litre capacity the pack can fit a single-person bivvy, camping mat or lightweight sleeping bag alongside other smaller items of clothing and essentials. The shell section also has a carabiner-style clip on the outside to attach a camping mug or other essential hardware.

The pack makes minimal movement whilst riding, even when loaded to capacity. The quick-release clip on the saddle-rail strap offers easy attachment and release, and the inner dry-bag part of the pack can be clipped over the shoulder or onto other luggage when not on the bike.
