Olliepack Seat Bag

I needed a “small” bag to carry my essential spare tube & tools as well as have the capacity to take on clothing layers I shed as the day warms up. The Olliepack does that with room to spare & yet stays out of the way. Very well thought out piece of gear. Only limitation on this design is height of seat to rear well on smaller bikes.
I like it a lot.

Easy to swap onto the bike I’m riding for the day. Enough space for my snackies, essential repair kit, and spare clothing layers.

I needed something to store layers for Fall and Winter rides. This bag works very well for me.

I purchased this to use on a weeklong cycling trip on the Natchez Trace. I have a road bike, not a touring bike and was not exactly sure how well I would like it. However, I must say that I was extremely pleased with it. I did not even notice it while riding. I was able to store my lunch and extra clothes as I shed layers as the day warmed up.

I got this bag in November 2023 and have had the chance to use it a few times since getting on my gravel bike for the winter. There is a bit of a learning curve to using this bag if you've never used a saddle bag before, but after a few days using it you'll quickly be able to open and close it without thinking about it much. The way the bag is constructed is nice - the lower portion which sits under the saddle is a stiff material, so it holds its shape well, while the upper portion is expandable as needed. It's easy to just cinch up or loosen the straps as you add or take away items. The mesh pocket is also great for holding snack wrappers or anything you want quick access to.

The best thing I can say about this bag is that I forget it's even on my bike until I need to use it, which is probably the best thing you can say about a piece of gear! No complaints here. Right now I'm just using it for long day rides, but I plan to use it on multi-day adventures and I have no doubt it'll be a nice addition to my arsenal for that too.
