skingrowsback Flash Pak Saddle Bag
$164.99
The FLASH PAK Saddle Bag™ is a compact bike packing solution for those wanting to carry less on their next adventure.
The 1.7 litre volume provides enough space for a jacket or lightweight sleeping bag. A Roll Top closure allows flexibility when packing. Two side release buckles offer easy access to the contents, the adjustable nature of these buckles means you can compress the load to suit. Strap Keepers help keep any loose ends tidy. The Mounting Strap features skingrowsback's signature magnetic hook, once the strap is routed over the seat rails it can be easily tightened by pulling the loops down through the Step Lock system. The Mounting Strap is attached to the bag to make the tensioning of this part simple. It's important to remember that the tension of this strap relates directly to the stability and therefore the performance of the saddle bag. A tapered front profile minimises leg strike. Extra stability is added with the One Wrap Seat Post mount.

Care Instructions
If you can't get your skingrowsback product looking good with a simple hose down, it's recommended to hand wash with a mild detergent if required, dry in the shade only.
Do not machine wash, machine dry, or iron. Avoid pressure washing and drying in direct sun light.
Here are some useful suggestions for maintaining your skingrowsback product.
Washing.
When it comes to washing there are two ways you can approach this. Primarily for skingrowsback on bike products the most effective way is to use a hose to remove the bulk of the dirt and mud. Try to avoid using a pressure washer as this can do more harm than good. Different colours will have different results, the brighter the colour the more difficult it will be to keep clean for obvious reasons.
If the product you are washing has a stiff component to it please DO NOT wash it in the washing machine, this will cause the structure to be compromised.
Understanding the materials skingrowsback use for products will help you care for them in an optimal way. Almost all products use materials that have a DWR coating (Durable Water Repellent) on the outer layer. Over time this will wear off with factors like abrasion, fibre stress, prolonged UV exposure and detergents.
Zips
Using zips is pretty self explanatory, you pull it one way to open and the opposite way to close.
You can avoid stress on the teeth of the zip if you hold the product together when zipping it up. Pushing any obstructions away from the zip slider as you close it can avoid a jam, lightweight materials like jackets are notorious for this. Removing dirt, mud and particularly sand from the surface of the zip can reduce the risk of damage when opening and closing. All our on bike products use a YKK PU coated zip this offers a degree of water repellency, it's also easy to wipe down before use.
Zip lube is another great way to prolong the life of your zip. Yes, zip lube. Apply a small amount to the teeth of the zip occasionally for smoother running zips.
Spray Before You Play.
Before you use your product skingrowsback recommends using a water shield spray, this not only repels water but will reduce the amount of dirt that sticks to the surface. Follow the instructions on the container for the best results.
