This is a very solid bag, and so far has done great at keeping my cargo secure and dry. I ended up also getting the bagman expedition quick release attachment that makes it smooth to quickly remove the bag to bring with you if you have to leave your bike locked up outside. The only thing I wish was a little different is the strap system on the side pockets. The current ones are a little hard to unbuckle, and it would be nice to have more a of snap system to get into a little easier.
During the recent very hot spell, left my super'c' and other Carradice bags in full sun, along with the tin of wax, until the bags were warm and the wax liquid, in that state very quick to apply - not too much, small amounts, at a time working well into the fabric and seams - lint free rag !, once all done I again left the bags in the sun to 'cook' , brilliant not only waterproof again but the look is also refreshed, apparently you can use a hairdryer to warm the bags and hot water for the wax tin... I shall certainly repeat when the stsrt to be less waterproof..
Reproofing Wax for Cotton Duck
I've had my Duxback poncho for a few years and use it regularly. Water was starting to soak in and it was taking longer to dry. Re-waxing it has improved that. Rather than smear on with a cloth as advised next time I'll warm the wax until it is completely liquid and apply it with a brush. Heating with a hair dryer allows it to be fully absorbed. A week later it was taking the brunt of Welsh rain on a cycle tour. Carradice, I have pictures!
I bought this to reproof an old Carradice Nelson Longflap saddlebag. I had to use the complete tin to cover whole bag. The bag was used during a shower and the contents stayed dry.
Perfectl
Works very well
Thanks !
Really appreciate being able to repair and care for my paniers - had them over 10 years! Very quick delivery also.
Used before on my Carradice bag, cleaned the bag and retreated, fitted new straps and ready for the next few years!
