Fi'zi:k ICS Saddle PA:K
Your carbon beauty deserves nothing but the finest accessories. After all, streamlined aesthetics are nearly as important as functionality. Yet, every time that you head out for a ride, a frayed, tenuously anchored bag dangles from your pristine Fi'zi:k saddle. You don't want to leave without the bag, but you simply cannot head out with your pockets stuffed like a chipmunk's cheeks either. Fi'zi:k addresses this conundrum with its sleek, integrated ICS Saddle PA:K. The engineers at Fi'zi:k give us a cure to this age-old problem with the often-forgotten-fact that its best-selling saddles are Integrated Clip System (ICS)-specific, which means that they have a tiny plastic receptacle under the saddle shell. The Fi'zi:k ICS Saddle PA:K has a male end that plugs right into this ICS opening. The Saddle PA:K recesses directly under the rear of your saddle, instead of lower on your seatpost. It has no Velcro straps to affix it to your bike, which eliminates the likelihood of shorts-to-bag abrasion. The bag material is waterproof, and the zippered enclosure is reinforced in order to give it added resistance to water. The ICS clip on the bag has three positions to allow you to customize the angle of the bag beneath the seat. The Fi'zi:k ICS Saddle PA:K is available in the sizes Small and Medium. The Small bag is ideal for the essentials: A tube, two CO2's, and a pair of tire levers. The Medium bag provides enough room to add a multi-tool and a second tube to your arsenal. The ICS PA:K is available in the color Black, and it includes two rear reflective patches and a loop to affix a rear tail light.
