WTB: Sackville Trunksack Large and Small

[Nathan Mattia]

I don’t know if the Home Office is ever going to offer these new again, but I can’t find anything else like them.  

Anybody have a Large or a Small that they are looking to sell?

thinking about one of these. I think - don't hold me to it - Waxwing is the Sackville maker.

I'd like to get one with a NITTO Mark's rack - so my RoadUno can go as odd ball and contrarian as possible - iconoclastic! as my friend Joshua says!

ciao!

This is larger and much cheaper and very well made: https://carradice.co.uk/products/super-c-rackbag

It has a nylon drawstring neck that folds into the main compartment and that, when extended, allows you to carry as much as a large saddlebag -- I've carried home some surprisingly large grocery loads in mine.

Carradice ship quickly and reliably from the UK.

When thou didst not, savage, know thine own meaning,

But wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish,

I endowed thy purposes with words that made them known.

Patrick, this is a REVELATION!  Do they make any other colors?

[Andrew Scherer]

Also see these from Lone Peak: https://lonepeakpacks.com/product/micro-rack-pack/ 5 colors, about the size of the small Trunksack. Other styles available.

Yes, thank you, Andrew.  I actually like the larger rack bags they make.  Very cool looking!

I purchased one of those Lone Peak trunk bags years ago, and was disappointed with the type of foam that was used around the sides as padding. It was essentially that cheap foam that “pops” and permanently deforms if you squeeze it - think like bubble wrap, but more dense. Anyway, as that foam got more and more compressed from use, the bag lost its structure and became floppy.

I wrote to the owner of the company with my critique, and got an apology… but I’m not sure if they’ve upgraded to a better material since then. Just FYI.

Only in black, AFAIK. 

I've not ordered from them in several years, but back then they were very quick to reply to questions.

One last remark: shipping costs have risen considerably in the last few years but I still find it cheaper to order directly from Carradice than from US middlemen.

Oh, and the structural foam in the Carradice Rackbag has stood up pretty darned well under my use.

Well, 3d remark: BTW: I wish Rivendell made a larger rack trunk. I briefly owned a Small but it was far too small for my needs; not even 1/4 the size of the Carradice. But I'd buy a Rivendell one that was big enough.

Frost River still makes them.
