The Vole seat bag is perfect for modern full - suspension bikepacking trips when using a dropper seat post (as long as you have sufficient tyre clearance). It comes with several innovative features to stabilize and compact your load without the need for extra external hardware. This bag can hold just enough for a minimalist kit, making your riding - focused trips hassle - free. A standout feature is the Indie - Rail attachment system. Unlike traditional bikepacking bag mounts, the Indie - Rail cinches each rail down to the bag's sides. This significantly reduces bag sway without any additional parts. Combine it with a rigid internal structure and active camming buckles to stop the straps from loosening or slipping on rough terrain or in wet conditions. The bag is reinforced on all sides. It has an external plastic bottom sheet to protect the bag's base and a composite internal top sheet that offers a solid platform for the strap points. For heavy loads, you can use the included strap around the saddle rails with the rear compression metal hook. This higher attachment point adds great vertical stability. When using a dropper post, you must use the included Wolf Tooth Valais clamp. It's also compatible with Cirrus Cycles Body Float suspension seatposts (no clamp needed). Features include the Indie - Rail attachment system, active camming hardware, an external plastic bottom frame sheet, aluminium hardware at high - stress points, a composite internal frame sheet, and foam - stiffened side panels.

Using the Vole seat bag is easy. First, if you're using a dropper post, make sure to attach the included Wolf Tooth Valais clamp. For Cirrus Cycles Body Float suspension seatposts, you don't need the clamp. Attach the bag to the saddle rails using the Indie - Rail attachment system. Cinch down the rails to the sides of the bag for better stability. You can pack your minimalist kit inside the bag. For heavier loads, use the included strap around the saddle rails and connect it to the rear compression metal hook. When riding on rough terrain or in wet conditions, the active camming buckles will keep the straps from loosening. Make sure to check the post clamp sizing according to your bike's stanchion diameter. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the bag clean with a damp cloth. If it gets really dirty, you can use a mild soap. Store it in a dry place to prevent any damage to the materials, like the external plastic bottom sheet and the composite internal top sheet.
