Blackburn Outpost Elite Seat Pack
Best stable storage solution for mountain bikers using dropper posts.
This two-part system solves the annoying sway of traditional seat packs by using a rigid alloy wing to lock your gear in place. It’s a heavier, more complex setup than a simple strap-on bag, but the rock-solid stability and easy-access dry bag make it worth the extra weight for serious bikepacking.
