Bottom line

The Swift Industries Olliepack is a 6L saddle bag that earns praise for its easy attachment, sway-free design, and external mesh pocket. Long-term durability isn't tested. It's water-resistant, but not suitable for heavy rain. This seat pack is "intentionally" small for minimalist riders or trips that require less gear. Overall, experts agree that the petite Swift Industries Olliepack is a decent investment. Need something larger? Consider Arkel's Seatpacker instead.

First Look! Swift Industries Olliepack

It is definitely for the minimalist bikepacker and not the maximalist one. I would also say that it has some applications for longer day rides, where you have to carry multiple layers…

Swift Industries Olliepack Review

It’s honestly tough to find anything wrong with the Olliepack. The only challenge I see is in its size. At 6L, it definitely is not meant for everyone or for every trip.

Swift Industries Olliepack First Look

The capacity renders it a long day-ride bag when you need space for warm layers or your coffee outside kit. It would also work well for bikepacking minimalists and credit card bike touring.
