While we use high-quality waterproof fabric, we also designed it with an internal waterproof liner.
We could have stopped there but chose to tape the seams further with a waterproof liner.
The outside fabric, designed for durability, will protect the liner from daily abuse. Even if you scratch or tear the outside fabric, the waterproof liner will remain intact, ensuring the product's longevity!
No Side-to-side Movement
The absence of movement is a crucial feature of this design.
The aluminum hanger attaches to two solid points: the saddle rails and the seat post. This sturdy and adjustable system allows a secure and stable attachment to the bike.
Thanks to this hanger, sways or movements are completely eliminated while riding, giving you a confident and stable ride.
No Thigh Rub
We designed every feature with the intent to enhance your experience.
Its lean, aerodynamic shape prevents your thigh from rubbing against the bag for a chaffing-free, comfortable ride.
There is also a solid inner frame to keep its narrow shape even when it's complete.
Compatible With Aero Seat & Dropper Posts
Thanks to the flexible seat post mount, this hanger will adjust and mold seamlessly to the aero seat post without the danger of damaging or denting the post.
It is also compatible with dropper posts as the hanger is attached close to the seat.
Carry More Stuff Or Dry Your Clothes
The netting on the bag allows you to carry things like a jacket or sandals. It can also dry clothes and avoid humidity and smell in the bag.
