Carradice Super C Rackbag - Black - 13 Litre

I recommend this product

I was fed up with the man made materials, zips and threads that break which other manufacturers use for their rack bags. Having had a Carradice saddle bag in the past I knew the quality of their cotton duck. The sturdiness and feel of this bag more than lived up to my expectations. I appreciate how much simpler and quicker to open this bag is compared to bags using zips. Also it retains its shape when partially full and feels voluminous. Love it !!!

This best rack bag I have used. It is red easy to fit and tighten by velcro straps. The drawstring internal closure is faff free and secure. It is very strongly made and sits rigidly on the rack. Carry handle and shoulder strap too. I certainly suits me.

It’s old school, simple and you look hipster retro with it, which may be a plus or minus… But old school is durable, simple probably means many years of use. To contrast, I’ve a top tube bag with a zip barely a year old that’s almost done. (Cheap brand).The lack of zips, and simplicity of design means I can get this repaired with a needle and thread. It fits 8 cans of beer if you want an everyday comparison. It is tall, so put a can of beer on your rack under your saddle to make sure you have space.

Great price good quality fast delivery

High quality product, nicely put together and designed. Smaller than I thought it would be, but that will stop me carrying more junk! Velcro attachments to rack look ok, time will tell if they are robust enough. Overall, an impressive product.

Exactly as spec'ed: waterproof, good quality and plenty of room. If you prefer one compartment rather than side pockets (maximizing volume) and do not want poxy zips, just the job.

I bought this as I needed a decent size rack bag to carry a few days clothes to the office.
I have tested this out in Storm Francis, and to did everything I wanted it too.
Packed to the brim, but lashed down so only the cotton duck is showing. Eveything arrived in good condition.
Time will tell if it holds it shape, but it is very sturdy compared to the one it replaced that tended to lean to one side when full.
Reflective stripes are big and really stand out.

A quality robustly constructed bag with simple strong buckle closures. It should easily outlast my cycling days!!! Much better than the flimsy zipped bags I have viewed and rejected. The size is more than adequate to carry everyday essentials for a casual days ride. And to cap it all it's made in the UK.

Having regularly used Carradice saddlebags on other cycles, with others, I have the highest regard for their quality and robustness. Purchased for a recently acquired ebike, this rack bag has not disappointed. The 4 plastic studs on the base fit neatly between the top rails of the rack (16 cms apart), while the Velcro fastening straps on each corner of the bag provide both excellent security and quick release. 13 litre capacity (without restricting compartments) holds all I need to carry including a hefty Abus-Granit X Plus lock. Exposure to heavy rain has yet to be tested, but Carridice fabric and build are well known for being waterproof. All in all an excellent product and well worth the cost.

So glad I went for this rack bag. A decent size for tools, waterproofs and other gear. Just completed the Lakes & Dales Loop over 4 days and one day was rain all day. Didn't let a drop in. Very very waterproof. If you like the slightly retro look and buying British then go for it.

Fitted in a few moments with the four velcro straps. Rigid design and strong construction should give many years service. High viz strip aids safety but if your back light is on seatpost you will need to use the loop on the bag.

I recommend this product

Simple to use and exactly as described. Roomy enough for a day out or even a night or two if you are really light packer. Easy to transfer between bikes and an easy 'grab' bag for valuables when touring or out and about

The Carradice Super C rackbag is made of cotton duck, which I have found to be waterproof (with my panniers, not been out in the rain with the rackbag yet), and reassuringly made in Lancashire. Quality of manufacture seems fine. It's not as big as I was expecting, but has swallowed a spare pair of shoes, a fleece and a lock. It's perfect for a day trip: for touring or shopping, you need panniers. The closures are all secure with heavy duty plastic clips, not just Velcro. Though more effective, they're more fiddly than Velcro. The 4 velcro straps for securing it to the rack are very effective, though.
There is red reflective material around the sides and back, which seems effective day and night: white hiviz piping seems as effective at night but less during the day. For me that's good as I'm less likely to be doing day rides in the dark.
The small rear pocket has a loop for a light, which is necessary as the bag obscures my seatpost light bracket. The floppy fabric mounted light isn't as effectively facing the rear as on the post bracket, though...
There is a detachable shoulder carry strap, which I've not used as there is a central carry handle too.
Altogether, a great bag for day rides.
