Popular Bikepacking Seat Packs Ortlieb vs Moosetreks vs Revelate Spinelock vs RockBros 

This is by far the most helpful seatpack comparison I've seen on YT. Thank you!

Excellent! You packed more into seven and a half minutes than some channels do in 30.

Thanks for the thorough review! I weakly appreciate you taking the time to show mounting and the volume of the bags!

Thank you, that was really informative. I was thinking Rockbros for myself but now after seeing the Revelate I could be changing my mind.

Love it! No nonsense! 👍🏼👍🏼

I'm getting quite the education! Loving it.

Great video thanks for the post!

super helpful! ill be going with the Revelate hands down after seeing this, thanks a ton, Cheers!

Dangit…just lookin at seat bags and then you got ALL the ones I was looking at and then you’re rolling through ID and then you’re charming and bright and then it’s late and I’m 7 vids in. Another stumble down the RU-vid adventure wormhole. Thanks for all your hard work posting! I’m in, now 😂

Excellent bike bag review! I found quite a few reviews but you covered many details others didn't and chose bags I was considering. The only thing would be how they hold up on the trail but you aren't being sponsored. I get it. This really helped me narrow it down and I can easily find someone who reviewed my bag choice on the trail. You saved me so much time! Thank you for doing this!

Nice comparison of these options. Thanks!

Loved this! Straight to the useful info, no messing about. More vids please!

fantastic and exactly what I needed. I was debating between the ortlieb and the revelate. Still a little torn but that Revelate!! so stable. winner for me.

helped me out a lot, other reviews not being as honest at all, this one really gives you an idea of what to expect from the different brands

I found this video more than helpful, I wish I had seen it sooner. I put a metal rack on the back of mine and strapped a plastic ammo can I the rack but it sucks. These bags are way better and thanks to you I know which one to get. Thanks and enjoy!! ❤

Just watched this, and totally agree about the Revelate Spinelock bag. It's amazing. The design is so functional. I rode 3000 Km through NZ and I didn't have bag swag once. Great review.

I use Ortlieb frame bag for my bikepacking setup, super bag!

Bought the Revelate the other day! Excited to get.

Interesting review, thanks… not used any of these, however the best part was the attachment which connects the bag to the seat post… definitely worth purchasing separately for any bag. I use the Apidura Seat Bag & have it currently connected to my MTB. Clearance & movement are key to any bag being ideal. I can tell you it fits & looks far better than any of the bags you’ve shown. One thing is key, how you pack the bag & also the way in which you manipulate it once attached. Happy to share a picture if it helps with what I mean :-) I have also purchased a Tailfin, however not tested it yet.

Hey there. Just watching this vid and thought I would pass on a nice hack for these rear saddle bags. This idea is adopted from the Topeak Backloader design. Topeak uses a weather resistant material for the main mounted bag, but then uses a waterproof dry bag that slides inside. However, the Topeak bag sags more than your final two picks (RD and Ortlieb). I know this because my bikepacking buddy had issues with his sagging. His saving grace is he's 6' 4" with a 61cm frame and plenty of clearance over his tire. I have the same Ortlieb bag as yours...but hate taking it on and off the bike after long days of riding. I simply adopted Topeak's methodology and bought a Sea to Summit dry bag to easily slide into the Ortlieb. This way I can leave the Ortlieb mounted when having to remove my gear. I just made sure the dry bag had an air vent to vacuum pack the items and I pack in a way where the inner dry bag mimics the shape of the Ortlieb...usually with some soft stuffed gear in the nose the take up all usable space in the outer Ortlieb. A plus is they are both waterproof. Hope this helps.

I always used panniers and a handlebar bag for road bicycle touring. Panniers might be good for trail cycling. It would be necessary to connect the panniers to a rack with zip ties.

Great video, short & lots of info!

Nice job! Very useful

Very much to the point. I like it. The revelate attachment is a big seller.

The PDW Bindle Rack is has straps that go through your seat rails, which will keep it from going into your wheel.

Recently saw an Anti Sway fitting that doubles as a bottleS holder, you should do a video on that.

Great to see all the options next to each other, but the getting on and off seems a faff. I found Restrap that has a light frame that you pop a dry bag into, which seems a better engineered solution.

Great vid 👍

I had problems with the Ortlieb because it never held its shape. It sagged so badly on a trip that it rubbed against my tire and wore holes in it. I blame the air bleed valve which I think isn't quite as airtight as it should be and leaked air which caused the sag. I now use the Rockbros bag and absolutely love it.

I went from a clamp on rack to the relevate. Rode the full Idaho Hot Springs loop last year and it worked perfectly. Very sturdy bag that showed only slight wear. Good product!

I'm using the Rockbross for 2nd season now. The straps are a bit slippery and need ocassional tightening or it swings. Apart from that really solid product 4/5 from me

just wondered does it make mounting the bike harder? (ie swinging your leg over when first getting on bike) I already struggle a bit to get on a high saddle on my road bike.

You said the Rockbros isnt compatible with carbon seat post- not sure what it means

Great review Is there any way you could give me a measurement from your seat rails to the bottom of the bag when it on your bike. Measured on a angle like they do for the A measurement for fit on the revelate site. Revelate will not give me that measurement. Their A measurement shows a minimum of 9.5” on the angle from seat rails to the tire. I’m short and do not have that much room but most images including yours show quite a bit of room, just looking for some help on this.

Restrap is the way to go

What sleep system and tent did you have in the revelate bag?

In one of your later videos I remember one of your bags had a issue with a strap, was it this bag??? I am doing a 4 day trip and I have a trek domane and hoping the revelate will work on my bike. Thanks

I switched to the Aeroe system.

Have you tried the rock bros on a trail?

Seat bike are gud. But they swings a lot & that cause balance issue. cause u tell a way to stop the swinging

Why faff around with these bags and odd seat post racks?? Get a proper rear rack and a trunk bag and he done. More volume. More secure mount. Easier to load.

Hello how are you. Could you please tell me what sleepingbag, mattress, and tent you have. they look very small and I'm looking for that kind of thing. Thank you

Is it to big for a 12 years old girl?

Нельзя сказать, что рокброс гамно!!!

Why do americans love wobbly-ass saddle bags when you can properly secure bags with rear carriers?

Can I have one hahahahaha

That is some nice gear you had there, Naomi Diane Stock.
