4. Operating Instructions
- Main Compartment: Use the dual zipper closure to access the main compartment. This area is suitable for larger items such as clothing, tools, or personal belongings.
- Expandable Side Panniers: For additional storage, unzip the lower zippers on the sides to extend the hidden pannier capacity. This is ideal for carrying more gear or groceries.
- Water Bottle Pocket: Utilize the dedicated water bottle pocket on the side, secured with an elastic drawstring, to keep your hydration accessible.
- Elastic Fixing Cord: The elastic cord on top of the bag can be used to secure items externally, such as a jacket, map, or additional water bottle.
- Converting to Handbag/Shoulder Bag:
- To use as a handbag, simply detach the bag from the rack and use the comfortable carrying handle.
- For a shoulder bag, retrieve the detachable shoulder strap (often stored inside a hidden compartment or main section), attach it to the designated loops on the bag, and adjust for comfort.

- Cleaning: Wipe the bag with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

6. Troubleshooting
- Bag feels loose on rack: Ensure all fastener tapes are securely tightened around the bike rack. Adjust the straps for a snug fit.
- Difficulty with zippers: Clean any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant.
- Water leakage: While the bag is waterproof, extreme conditions or prolonged exposure may lead to some moisture. Ensure the rain cover (if included or purchased separately) is used in heavy rain. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric.
