Are your bags waterproof?
All of our products are made from durable outers and linings that are 100% waterproof materials. All of our roll top products, for example our Panniers, Saddle Pack (dry bag), Bar Bag (dry bag) and City Loader, are 100% fully waterproof.
However, as some of our products (the Frame Bag and Top Tube Bag for example) have zips and unsealed stitching, we cannot guarantee 100% waterproofing on these products due to water penetrating the seam in very wet conditions.

Do I need to protect my frame or components from abrasion?
Unfortunately, grit has a habit of working its way under straps and bags. We recommend wrapping any contact points in protective tape to protect any paintwork or surfaces from abrasion. We sell a bicycle protection kit with custom cut shapes to ensure a perfect fit for your Restrap bags.
How should I wash my Restrap bags?
The best way to wash your bags is like you wash your bike! A sponge, a hose, some soapy water and a bit of elbow grease will do the trick. Unfortunately our bags aren't washing machine friendly, so don't chuck them in with your bibs and jersey however tempting it may be.
Can I mix and match Dry Bags and Saddle Bag holsters?
Each holster is made for its own specific dry bag. The bags are tapered at the bottom to fit perfectly in the holster, making the most of the usable space. Unfortunately, this means you cannot mix and match the dry bags between different sized holsters. If you have a 14L saddle bag and are looking to pack light, the 14L is still functional when only filled to around 8L.
What racks work with the Rando bag?
We recommend a rack with a parcel shelf that will support the entire or almost the entire base of the Rando bag. Although it will fit to a narrow rack, to get the most out of your Rando it’s a safer bet to go for a wider rack. The base dimensions of the bags are as follows:
Small: 30cm wide x 20cm deep
Large: 30cm wide x 22cm deep
How do I fit your bags to my bike?
All our bags come with instructions in the packaging, but don’t worry if you’ve already binned that! Detailed diagrams and sizing charts can be found on our site alongside comprehensive how-to videos on fitting our bags on our YouTube channel here. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at support@restrap.com.
