FAQs
Can this bag be used as a crossbody bag?
While primarily designed as a waist or handlebar bag, the stowable hip belt and potential for additional strap attachment might allow for a makeshift crossbody carry, though it's not its intended function.
What material is the bag made from?
The bag is constructed from durable Cordura® 500 den Eco fabric.
Is the bag waterproof?
The bag features a PFC/PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, making it water-resistant to protect contents from light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof.
What are the dimensions and volume?
The bag measures 24 x 16 x 7.5 cm and has a volume of 3 liters.
How do I attach it to my bike handlebars?
Stow the hip belt, then use the adjustable top and bottom straps to securely fasten the bag to your handlebars.
What does 'PFC/PFAS-free DWR finish' mean?
It means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are considered environmentally harmful.
Are the gear loops suitable for attaching larger items?
The gear loops are best suited for smaller items like keys or a small carabiner. The hook-and-loop area is specifically sized for patches up to 10 x 5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Bag feels unstable on handlebars
Ensure both top and bottom straps are tightened securely. Check that the hip belt is fully stowed and not interfering with the strap attachment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Check for any fabric obstructions. Gently work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Water resistance seems reduced
The PFC/PFAS-free DWR finish may wear over time. Consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics, following the product's instructions.
Hip belt interferes with handlebar attachment
Ensure the hip belt is completely tucked away behind the padded back panel as instructed for handlebar use.
