VAUDE TRAILSADDLE COMPACT Saddle Bag

Even in the slipstream behind you, the TRAILSADDLE COMPACT saddle bag is a compact way to store additional luggage on MTB, hybrid or gravel bikes. The 2-piece saddle bag by VAUDE is attached to the seat post with Velcro straps, whereby the dry bag can be removed while the bag base remains mounted on the frame.

The robust and slim mount gives the welded and thus waterproof dry bag reliable stability using compression straps. You can remove the dry bag at the carrying handle to also access your gear when you’re not on the bike. What’s more, the saddle bag does not only keep your gear dry, but it also serves as a splashguard to protect you from wheel spray.

Both the waterproof dry bag and the bag base are made predominantly from recycled materials. The TRAILSADDLE COMPACT saddle bag is part of VAUDE’s bikepacking range for trail adventurers including versatile bikepacking bags for transporting luggage on the bike.

Highlights & Technologies:

GREEN SHAPE:
VAUDE's quality seal for products that are produced in a particularly environmentally-friendly way. As there is no worldwide standard for the assessment of organic products, VAUDE has developed their own rating system for environmentally friendly outdoor products with strict criteria. GREEN SHAPE labelled products are made from sustainable materials and with resource saving production methods. The criteria are not only strict but also continuously reviewed and involve the entire product lifecycle, ranging from development through to product care and recycling after use. The aim of this rating system is to minimize the environmental impact.

GRÜNER KNOPF (“GREEN BUTTON”):
The German textile seal GRÜNER KNOPF (“Green Button”) identifies textiles that meet high social and environmental standards. 26 social and ecological criteria are considered for each product. The companies must prove their human rights, social and ecological responsibilities.

POLYAMIDE RECYCLING:
For this product, VAUDE uses some robust, lightweight and fast-drying polyamide yarn. These are surplus materials and cutting room scraps from polyester production that – instead of being disposed of as waste (as is often the case) – are collected, processed and returned into the production cycle. This maximizes the utilisation of valuable resources in material production and minimises the amount of new raw materials used for a product.

PVC FREE:
This VAUDE seal means that this product is made entirely without PVC (polyvinylchloride). The material used looks like lorry tarpaulin and is just as durable and waterproof, yet consists of polyurethane coated textile fabric instead of PVC. PVC often contains plasticizers (phthalates) that are suspected of having negative health impacts.
