▬▬▬▬ Video Overview ▬▬▬▬
Choosing the right seat pack starts with the ride you plan to do. The bike you ride, the terrain you cover, and the repair kit you choose to carry all influence which setup makes the most sense.

The Bike + Ride/Terrain + What You Carry = Which Mattone?

In this video, Josh Poertner walks through the complete Mattone family of seat packs, explaining what makes each model unique, what can fit inside, and how to choose the right bag based on your bike, your ride, and what you need to carry. Along the way, Josh also shares practical packing tips, including how to reduce rattles, protect TPU tubes from abrasion, and build a repair kit that matches the ride ahead.

Whether you're looking for the compact refinement of the Mattone Ultimate, the balanced everyday carry of the original Mattone, the adaptable storage of the Mattone WEB, or the extended capacity of the Mattone Grande, this guide will help you think through what to pack, why you're carrying it, and which Mattone best fits your ride.

Every Mattone seat pack features the BOA® Closure System, making SILCA the exclusive cycling bag and pack partner of BOA®. Looking for a specific Mattone? 10+ Years of BOA and SILCA.
