Review on 🚲 Blackburn Outpost Elite Universal Seat Pack and Dry Bike Bag: Ultimate Gear Storage Solution for All Cyclists by Jeremy Floyd

I wanted this airbag setup to work but it didn't do a couple of things. Quality control and design issues. First, the mount didn't fit my seat rails. The rails need to be more "vertical" and my $250 Selle SMP Stratos rails are rotated 45 degrees. So I tried my wife's Selle Italia Diva and was able to mount the mount. Second, I found that the spacing between screw holes varied on different components. The width varied from 42.4mm to 45.1mm, so inserting the screws wasn't as easy as it should be. won't fit anyway. After putting on some down vests and sweatshirts, I couldn't get it more than a few inches into the harness. If I put the bag in the harness first, the entire bike/suspension would have moved everywhere while I was trying to squeeze things in, so a dry bag would never reach capacity or allow air to slosh out easily. You should definitely be able to stuff your clothes into a dry bag and then clip them to your seat belts. Fourth, they used different buckles on each side to fasten the cargo. One you can just grab and tighten and the other uses a small tensioner that you can't tighten with. Wolf Tooth Valais on my dropper, the strap didn't even touch the velcro so they were pretty much useless at the time. Because the strap cannot be fully secured, it sticks out and hits your foot when you pedal. another serious mistake. Sixth, the entire wire harness assembly cannot be easily removed between uses. Simply removing the bag to dry leaves a strap knot and the straps just fall behind the seat. Seventh, forget about using a dropper, which is why I bought this bag. To install the installation under the seat post, you have to remove the seat every time, which is extremely cumbersome. Good luck aligning your seat perfectly every time afterwards. Pros: Once properly installed, the airbag assembly felt very sturdy. And the materials seem very durable. However, in my opinion, there are too few pros and too many cons to recommend this beanbag. NOT RECOMMENDED. YMMV
