- The bag is very compressible — on some rides you need to add or remove layers of clothing (i.e. swing season rides or night riding) and the bag squishes down, so the remaining contents don’t rattle around, similar to an internal-frame backpack. Near the bottom of the bag is a pair of Velcro-like straps that squish down the bottom of the bag, providing more clearance for smaller bicycle frames, down to approx. 50cm.
- Two pockets: one flat mesh pocket and a gusseted zippered pocket on the back side. The gusseted pocket uses heavy-duty #8 water-repellent zipper.
- There are extra D-rings for attaching additional gear or apparel. The rear of the bag accepts a reflective triangle (though because of the angle of this bag it may be be totally effective).
- The bag attaches in three places: first, around the seatpost with a German-made “SKS Anywhere Adapter” Velcro-style strap (it has no moving parts to fail), and then secondarily to the rails of the saddle with two nylon straps. The bag attaches to either Brooks or Rivet-brand leather saddles, or most tech/racing saddles, without additional parts. It is designed to work on either round or slightly oval posts. We have yet to test this on very narrow aero seatposts.
- The bag is reinforced with a stiff HDPE framesheet which give the bag shape and prevents it from sagging and then touching the rear tire. It is constructed of a combination of 6.5 oz. 420-denier Nylon Diamond Ripstop and 420D pack cloth. Both have a water-repellent coating o
This bag is similar to the Rolltop SeatBag 9.0 (which it replaced) except it has the following improvements:
It is designed to provide more clearance above the rear tire, thus working with smaller bicycle frames.
The opening of the “roll top" seals with Velcro.
It has slightly more volume (10 liters).
It uses a seatpost attachment system that has no moving parts. This bag is part of the eoGEAR SeatBag family — a system for the self-sufficient cyclist or randonneur. It features an easy-to-use roll-top “dry bag style” opening with one large compartment and three additional outside pockets. The available colors are black with gray accent side panels or black with red accent. Other colors by request for an additional fee. Unlike the eoGEAR RandoBags, this bag does not require a separate saddle bracket or adapter as the necessary hardware is already attached.
Specifications
Weight: 410 g (14.5 oz.)
Volume: 10.0 liters or 610 cu in.
The volume of main compartment is 9.5 liters w/ 2 folds on top; the back zippered pocket adds .5 liter. The volume of the bag is based on folding or rolling the top of the bag twice—you can only roll it once and/or clip the top two buckles together like a dry bag (and then connect the side straps to themselves in front of the bag, in which case you can gain about another liter or so of volume. See instructional video for more detail on this).
Bag dimensions (approx. HxWxD): 44* x 19 x 12.75cm (17.3* x 7.5 x 5.0"). *With the top rolled over twice
