Most Carradice saddlebags attach using three leather straps—two for the saddle loops and one for the seat post. For larger bags, you can use a Bagman support to keep them stable and prevent sagging.

The Bagman Standard and QR Clamp will fix to that saddle and setapost combination.  The Bagman support struts could also be used with the seatpost support collar to stable things up a little bit more given the geometry of the folding bike. Camper Longflap best with an Expedition, bags up to 15L with a Sport. Bagman works for all Carradice saddlebags.

Yes, all Carradice bags are made from waterproof cotton duck. The fabric is naturally waterproof and breathable, keeping your belongings dry in most conditions. Some seams may need reproofing over time for added protection.

To reproof, you can use a wax dressing like the Carradice Reproofing Wax. Rub the wax onto the fabric, then use a hairdryer or your hands to spread it evenly. This will refresh the waterproofing.

Yes, many of our bags can be made without leather. We substitute the leather with recycled fire hose material to create an eco-friendly option.

We recommend spot cleaning your bag with warm water and a sponge. Avoid using detergents as they can strip the wax coating.

The Bagman Quick Release Support Expedition attaches to most saddles and allows you to fix your saddlebag securely to the steel Bagman frame without straps by using the Bagman Adapter. Check which Brooks Sprung Saddles work with Bagman on the FAQ below

If your saddle already has bag loops then the Bagman standard is sufficient. The Sport will accommodate smaller bags like the Barley, Lowsaddle, Cambrian,  and Audax. The Expedition will accommodate the larger saddlebags like the Camper, Nelson, Super C and Odyssey.

If your saddle does not have bag loops then the best Bagman support is the Quick release version. With this Bagman the saddlebag attaches to the Bagman clamp and not the saddle.

The Super C front panniers are a good option, as they are shaped at the bottom to provide heel clearance.

The Carradice Brompton bags all have been designed for the Brompton Bag frame.
