Basil Miles

The Basil Miles features a universal mounting system designed to be compatible with most standard racks, including iRack, Carrymore, and Racktime systems. It uses a 4-strap attachment method, which is highly adaptable to various rack widths and frame styles.

The bag has an IPX3 rating, which means it is protected against spraying water from any angle. While it will keep your gear dry during light to moderate rain showers, it is not fully submersible or designed to withstand prolonged, heavy downpours.

Yes, 34 liters is quite spacious and easily accommodates a standard grocery run or a full day's worth of commuting gear, such as a change of clothes, a laptop, and lunch. The adjustable elastic buckle closure allows you to expand the bag slightly if you need to fit bulkier items.

The main compartment is a single, large space, which is great for bulky items but lacks internal dividers. However, it does feature elastic mesh side pockets on the exterior, which are perfect for quick-access items like a water bottle, keys, or a multi-tool.

Because it uses a 4-strap mounting system, it is very secure once attached, but it is not a 'quick-release' bag. It is best suited for riders who plan to leave the bag on their bike for the majority of their commute rather than those who need to detach it multiple times a day.
