Ortlieb Seat-Pack 16.5L

— Show original

Spacious saddlebag and attaches securely to the saddle even with a large load. Simple attachment and if there is no sand etc. in between, it will not wear out the bike surfaces.

It holds a lot of stuff! Attaching it, especially when it's full, takes a bit of time and patience, but that's part of the nature of these bags, luckily you don't have to remove it often.

It stays really firmly in place, doesn't wobble even on trails.

Does what it promises. Firm attachment, stays with you well on the road. A week's worth of stuff fits inside well. This isn't something you can operate particularly quickly in the middle of a trip, but that's probably not the purpose. I wouldn't take this with you on a really rough day, at least not without additional fastening with loose straps. High-quality product, should last.

Functional bag, stable attachment

It is the best and highest quality rear bag out of the few models I have used. Attaching it to the seat post requires some space between the seat post and the top tube, this is worth considering when buying.

Now I have gained experience from one week of travel and I am a little disappointed with the product. I expected that for this money I would get a really finished and polished product, but this is not the case. Attaching the bag to the bike feels really easy and also it is quite difficult to attach it in a way that would feel sturdy even when empty. There is no bag that comes off the bag, which I already knew when I bought it, which of course makes packing difficult, as the bag has to be already attached to the bike. If you pack the bag loose and try to attach it to the bike, there is no way I want to get it back in place afterwards, at least not on my own bike. If you pack the bag full, which naturally makes it long, or put something heavier in it, the back of the bag starts to hang and get caught in the tire. Of course, you can buy some support straps for the bag as an accessory, which I hear make the bag at least somewhat usable when fully loaded. Without straps, the bag can't really hold any weight at all, and it can't be loaded to its full capacity. Plus the waterproofness and the air release valve. I don't think it's value for money and I wouldn't buy it again.
