I'm looking for one of these. I'm sick of zip failure, these are zipless. I cant seem to find a uk stockist.

I went to Bikefix about 3 years ago to try and get some Arkel seatpacks and they looked at me as though I was mad, I even went back in and showed them the magazine with their name against the review and they still looked at me as though I was mad.
So I ordered them direct from Arkel and they sent me them without paying a humungous import duty and followed up with a nice email about a month later to hope that I was happy with them.
Oh, we've got the on 4 of our bikes, they're very good. No problems yet....

only 3 years though.

I ordered one direct, then realized the price was in £ not $. Och well, I'm sure it'll outlast all the zippered ones I've broken.

Seat pack arrived yesterday. Mailed from the UK when I was charged for postage from the US. Dry bag has wayward stitching which is unsealed, so no longer waterproof. I've contacted Arkel for a replacement and postage refund. Having said that, its a well thought out seat pack.

Thanks Kevin @ Arkel. They've refunded the difference in postage and sent me a new dry bag. Great company to deal with. Pity there isnt a uk supplier.
