Product Information

Full details

The Silca Mattone Seat Pack is an ultra-compact, water-resistant saddle bag for cyclists who need to carry essential repair items securely. Its key benefit is the easy access and stable, rattle-free storage provided by the BOA® Closure System and book-like design. A potential caveat is its 0.5L capacity, which may be limiting for those needing to carry more than basic repair tools.

FAQs

What does the 'Mattone' name refer to?

Mattone is the Italian word for 'brick', referring to the compact, solid shape of the seat pack.

What items can typically fit inside the 0.5L capacity?

It is designed to hold a standard road or gravel inner tube, 2x CO2 cartridges with a regulator, tire levers, and a small multitool. A credit card or cash can also be stored.

How is the bag attached to the saddle?

It uses a high-friction Hypalon strap combined with a secure BOA® Closure System that tightens around the saddle rails.

Is the bag completely waterproof?

The bag is water-resistant, featuring a YKK Aquaguard Zipper to protect contents from splashes and light rain. It is not designed for submersion.

Can I store my keys inside?

Yes, there is an internal flap designed to secure cards and keys, helping to keep them separate from other items.

How do I clean the bag?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the zipper is kept clean and free of debris. Allow to air dry.

What makes this seat pack different from others?

Its primary differentiators are the BOA® Closure System for secure and stable mounting, the book-like zipper for easy access, and internal organization features that prevent rattling and protect contents.

Troubleshooting

BOA® dial is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the cable is properly seated and free from debris. Gently clean around the dial and cable entry point with a dry brush. Avoid using lubricants directly on the dial mechanism.

Bag feels loose or shifts during riding.

Re-tighten the BOA® Closure System, ensuring the Hypalon strap is securely positioned around the saddle rails. Check that the strap is not obstructed.

Zipper is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions in the zipper track. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax designed for outdoor gear if necessary.

Contents are getting wet.

Ensure the YKK Aquaguard zipper is fully closed. Inspect the zipper for damage or wear. While water-resistant, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow some moisture ingress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure and stable attachment thanks to the BOA® Closure System.
  • Easy access to contents with the unique book-like zipper.
  • Protects contents from rattling and damage with internal organization.
  • Water-resistant materials keep essentials dry.
  • Compact design minimizes aerodynamic drag.

Cons

  • Limited 0.5L capacity may not be sufficient for all riders' needs.
  • BOA® dial might require specific attention for cleaning and maintenance.
  • May not fit larger multitools or additional items beyond essentials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the saddle rails. The Mattone is designed to attach securely to the saddle rails.
  2. Wrap the Hypalon strap around the saddle rails where you want to position the pack.
  3. Thread the BOA® cable through the designated loop on the strap.
  4. Turn the BOA® dial clockwise to tighten the strap securely around the rails. Ensure it is snug but do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard bicycle saddle rail systems.
  • Ideal for road, gravel, and cyclocross bikes.
  • Capacity is optimized for basic repair kits (tube, levers, CO2, small multi-tool).

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the YKK Aquaguard zipper is free of dirt and debris to maintain its water resistance. Gently clean with a brush if needed.
  • Periodically check the BOA® dial and cable for proper function. If dirt accumulates, clean gently with a dry brush.
  • Allow the bag to air dry completely if it becomes wet.
