The size of the backpack is based on what can be comfortably carried on a rider’s back.

Rather than giving you a ‘x’ Litre capacity (it’s not like it translates to real work volume), it can easily accommodate simultaneously

• A laptop computer (up to 15 inch)
• A pair of running shoes
• A change of t-shirt+shorts
• A lunch box
• As well as everyday items like wallet, phone and keys.

The design includes nylon lining for both compartments to prevent water soaking through.

Zipper has a water/dust proof hood and the back is separated by a HDPE insert. So even if the exterior is soaked, the contents will stay dry. It’s as water proof as can be, reaching a balance between comfort, safety and weather protection.

We are developing ways to mount a bicycle light and water bladder.

The Road Sack does not come with a water bladder, however our team have developed a way to install an aftermarket bladder.

Yes, We developed a mod that can be easily performed to allow a clip-on bicycle light.

The HDPE back insert will take a couple of weeks to mould to your riding position.

With use, it will become more flexible and more comfortable.

The fluorescent panels does not need any special chemicals. Any spot dirt should be wiped away with a damp cloth. Washing of backpack can be done with instructions included in the user’s manual.

If you have found the waist strap being too short for you, please contact us directly.

There are a couple of ways to avoid this.

1. Keep a finger between the zipper and the strip of fabric whenever you run the zipper along the teeth.
2. Fold up the strip of fabric when opening/closing the zipper.
3. More of a last resort, one customer has told us he cut the weather strip off. 😡

Most likely caused by lack of lubricant between the teeth. Run a waxy candle along the teeth and open/close it several times to work the wax between the teeth. This should make the zipper work more smoothly.

The plastic teeth can become damaged or bent if used with force, leading to the zipper teeth to not mesh smoothly and two sides seperate. Unfixed it can then lead to mis-aligned teeth, and one zipper will cause the other to unzip as the mis-aligned teeth opens up the already zipped section.

Solution is to retire one zipper. Open up the zipper fully (on end of opposite sides by force if you have to), then only use one zipper to open/close the backpack. If it still splits open, switch and use the other one.
