Vel Seat Pack 7L
£65.00

The Vel Seat Pack is very well made, user friendly, and stable on the bike, and has a nifty air purge valve to make the most of its capacity. It's constructed using a tough Hypalon material, the same stuff that rigid inflatable boats are made from, and is highly durable and totally waterproof.

This excellent seatpack is easily attached using the two loops through the saddle rail and a Velcro strap around the seatpost. This pulls nice and tight, with a generous amount of Velcro to hold it secure.

 

The purge valve makes it easy to squeeze any air from the bag when rolling it up, to make the most of all seven litres, and the two straps to compress the bag are on a loop, so they pull tight but don't have any excess dangle, like you can find on some seatpacks.

The area of the pack closest to the seatpost has the most reinforcement, where the Hypalon material forms a box section - this is a great area for packing in heavier items like tools and CO2 cartridges, leaving the more pliable section of the pack for squashier items like clothing.

It's fully waterproof too, which you'd expect being made of boat material; everything stays bone dry, and the underside acts as an extra mudguard, which you’ll likely be thankful for along any filthy local lanes.

Overall, it’s a fantastic, user-friendly seatpack that should last years.
