Description of 🚲 Blackburn Outpost Elite Universal Seat Pack and Dry Bike Bag: Ultimate Gear Storage Solution for All Cyclists

DROPPER COMPATIBLE - Designed to not only stabilize your seatpack, but also work with or without dropper posts. The t6061 aluminum wing bolts to your seat rails for a rock solid mount. Get the perfect cargo fit for the roughest trails. HARNESS SYSTEM - This bag features a system that is comprised of an outer "Harness" that securely carries an inner bag. The inner bag can quickly and easily be removed from harness, without having to detach the harness from the bike. The advantage is that is saves time, is more secure and allows you to carry odd/oversized items or use your favorite aftermarket bags. BLEED VALVE - The waterproof dry bag features a scuba style air bleed valve so that you can pack your bag as tight as you need, and not have to worry about leaks. WELDED SEAM CONSTRUCTION - Welded seams not only reduce bulk, weight and materials, they improve performance by eliminating the needle hole, a potential area for saturation and leakage. Welded seams also create a clean finish on both the interior and exterior of the bag. NO SWAY - Able to carry a bevy of cargo, and stable enough to not swing around while it does.

Nice design, poor build quality

I really like the design of this backpack but after a few tests before a week long bike ride I decided to attach the straps to the last one before the trip and one of the straps came off the bag. Luckily I was able to attach the strap to the bracket that attaches to the seat, but of course I was very disappointed. I would recommend this backpack if you want to be very careful with it when tightening the straps. But for those who enjoy using straps to compress a load I would recommend other…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Great bag but installation issue

I would give this bag 5 stars as the bag performed well on a 7 day bike ride but the installation is so tedious to figure out how it's supposed to work, and then (b) a pain to actually install it when you finally get it right. The installation instructions (diagrams plus YouTube videos) are vague and change too quickly to really understand which part goes where. Too bad because it would be an easy fix for Blackburn. After installation it was great. The bag detaches very easily when you arrive…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Hard to say

Poor design, extremely difficult to mount,

Very poor design, almost impossible to mount on seat rails. To attach the holster section to the seatpost, slide the U-bracket, holster, and two mounting plates. Meanwhile, try to hold the bracket under the seat rails with one hand and try to tighten the hex bolts through three loose parts. I was only able to get the screws in by throwing away one of the plates (plate #2), the whole thing wouldn't fit properly because the saddle on my wife's bike has an extended seat clamp and bag face that…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Upgradable

MANY flaws.

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.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • No
