Our Verdict
The Altura Vortex Waterproof 17L Seatpack delivers durability and capacity, making it a valuable choice for extended bikepacking trips. Crafted from rugged, waterproof nylon ripstop fabric with TPU coating, it’s designed to withstand downpours and rough terrain, keeping essentials dry and secure. At 645g, it’s solid without being overly heavy for a bag of its size, and the 17-litre capacity offers ample space for stowing layers, food, and camping gear.
The roll-top closure, with an adjustable volume, is practical, allowing for a secure fit based on load size. An internal reinforcement structure ensures stability on bumpy trails, reducing sway and making it easy to handle during fast descents or technical climbs. Added bungee cords on the exterior provide extra storage options for quick-access items like a rain jacket or gloves, enhancing its overall functionality. Reflective details and light attachment points boost visibility, a valuable feature for those extending rides into dusk.
