Product Info & Tips

Are our products Waterproof?

I would love to be able to say the bags are all "waterproof". But I'm not going to. The materials used are very waterproof, but then it gets sewn, gets a zip put in it, or a hole put in with a roll top closure. So, "highly water resistant" is the best claim I'm going to make.

The sewn joints get a seam seal tape applied, the zips are water-resistant and the roll tops have room for a good number of rolls.

How to test your bags for waterproofness

I periodically test a bag by filling it with water. Most of them could be used as water carry bags, but the odd one has slight seepage issues. So they should all keep off a good shower of rain, but don't go swimming with them and if there is all-day rain, make sure the really important things have two layers of protection.

Just a hint when using a roll top bag. Squeeze the air out before rolling it up - the bags are remarkably air tight!

Be careful how you carry them. Not too careful, because the materials are very strong but it is important that any bike bags that you carry are not rubbing on a hard edge all day at that can cause chafing damage.
