Details

Made from 100% waterproof cotton duck the Super C has been THE choice for countless expeditions due to its rugged, reliable nature & is the classic choice of many serious cycle tourists. They are perfect for any type of cycle touring especially when used in conjunction with the matching rear panniers & barbag. The Super C Rack Top bag can be fixed to any rack via its four large velco straps & has reinforced sides that help it keep its shape & stability. All Super C bags come with a lifetime guarantee against defective materials & workmanship

- Dimensions: H 21cm x W 16cm x D 36.5cm
- Fully waterproof

Note: Sometimes when the cotton duck is new, the fabric needs to soften a little so that the fibres spread out for maximum waterproof protection. If used immediately in extreme conditions some leakage may occur (this is not common though). Extra reproofing might help.

Overall Product Rating 5 / 5

Turned out (better than) nice again !

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 !!!

ConsFew

ProsLots

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.

ConsIt’s simple. I’d rather have non Velcro attachments for moving it between bikes.

ProsSimple design. Build to last and looks like you inherited it from your grandfather.

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.

High quality

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.

ConsBiggish but fits between panniers.

ProsWaterproof, quality, drawcord instead of zips.

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.

Superb

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.

ConsNothing

ProsEverything

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.

ConsNone

ProsExcellent quality justifies the price

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.

ConsNone

ProsSimple to use, easy to switch between racks.

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

Can I use this with an Old Man Mountain Elkhorn rack?

By TimH

SJS Customer Service:

This bag does have a much larger footprint than the Elkhorns top plate so I would not recommend it. SK 14/03/23

Can I use this bag with a 'Rack Time'Rack?

By David Holliday

I have a Cube Travel Pro which came with a RackTime rack as standard. It is 12cm wide by 38cm long with a spring holder on it for holding small items. Will the Super C fit please? Thanks

SJS Customer Service:

Yes, perfectly. RT20/04/2020

Could you fit a water bottle in the rear pocket?

Hi, if your water bottle is small yes, a 750 ml cycle bottle will be to big. Thanks 11/11/2019

Does it work with ...

I have a Tubus Vega Rack and use Super C panniers. Would this Rack pack work well for additional load carrying ie will it interfere with the pannier clips or does it have a soft base that would mould around them. Thanks.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

The base is not rigid so would move around the clips, it would certainly fit but you will need to move it slightly to get panniers on or off.

Thanks

Abus Rack

By Marco

The rack tapers so it is not parallel, if that makes sense, so would the Carradice Super C Rackbag fit ok?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

The Super C bag should fit to your rack without any issues.

Thanks.
