Reviews over the

Ortlieb Seat-Pack

Remarkable quality of materials and manufacture. Very easy to use

Packing and handling must be practised in order to attach the bag optimally and stably without it continuing to wobble. On my bike, I had problems getting the loops through under the saddle because the click fasteners were too thick. However, this is an individual problem and after a bit of practice it worked.

Voor het eerst bikepacking gedaan, daarvoor deze tas gekocht. Uitstekend bevallen. Op youtube mooie filmpjes van hoe te gebruiken

Pros & Cons

Quality product. It feels like it will last a long time. I've only used it once so far and I'm a little disappointed about how it held up. It tends to fall down at the back when it was far from full. In my opinion, 16L is unrealistic without the strap, which is not included. For the price, it's still disappointing.

Great saddle bag of solid and waterproof quality. It does take some time to get it securely around your seatpost, but then it stays put after an hours-long trip.

Pros & Cons

I bought this bag for a 4-day bikepacking trip with my mtb of over 400km. The bag stayed in place well and barely hindered me. Only on steeper downhill sections was I unable to hang behind the saddle. We had 1 day of very heavy rain, but the bag was nicely waterproof. Depending on how you fill the bag, it sometimes stuck up quite a bit at the back. As with any of these types of bags, it is a bit amusing that you have to keep unloading the whole bag to get to what you actually need. A possible drawback is that the bag is not quick to assemble or disassemble. This does take some time. But normally you only have to do this twice a day. The roll-up system and valve do a good job, you might be surprised how small you can make the bag. I definitely recommend buying the larger version. The bag did not cause any damage to my bike. Conclusion: highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

I use the bike for commuting and did not want a backpack. This bag provides the solution. A set of clothes, lunch and shower necessities fit in it. Shoes just barely. The valve is a clever addition, allowing the bag to be rolled up compactly. Attaching it to the bike takes some getting used to, but not complicated. I do miss a handle or shoulder holder for lifting as a bag. This makes t separate from the bike less manageable than hoped. All in all, however, it is a suitable bag for what it is intended for.

Pros & Cons

The bag is excellent and fulfills its function perfectly. The only problem is that the upper rubber bands are under the saddle so they have little use (they serve to carry a towel for example). The 17 liter bag does not have this problem, besides having more capacity.

Pros & Cons

Quality product

Pros & Cons

Lightweight and easy to handle, top tight. Without additional tensioning strap (8 € from Ortlieb) gehts but not really. Therefore, only 8 points, otherwise there would have been 10.

Very spacious seatpack, sufficiently stable while cycling. Ideal for your clothes during a bikepacking vacation. With the valve you can easily compress your clothes and let the excess air escape. Completely waterproof and easy to attach and detach. Too bad you have to buy another strap separately for extra stabilization.

Pros & Cons
