Review on 🚲 Multi-purpose Bike Handlebar Stem Bag for Food, Snacks, and Water - Ideal for Bikepacking, Touring, Commuting, and Insulated Storage by Jared Coleman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Untenable. on bike racks and bags

When I first received this bag it was an improved version of the same but smaller and with one compartment. To me, Target is like the center console of a car. This thing collects my sunglasses, keys, headphones, etc. And sometimes lattes to take with me while I drive. It's great for that purpose and I can stuff enough stuff in it and stay pretty organized. As above, plus a small wallet, flashlights, a tiny cable lock, and a whistle. I even rolled up my windbreaker and tucked it in. Now for the bad. I've been using it almost every day for about four months and it's falling apart. I filled it up but to be honest it's nowhere near a full bottle as advertised. I also washed it once after a particularly dirty ride. On cold/tender and in a linen pouch. This shouldn't cause the seams to unravel, but it probably will. I lost the bottom strap, luckily I can sew and sew on a replacement. And it's just a whole ratty look, lots of snags. I'll look around for a better (and probably much more expensive) replacement. If you drive occasionally you know you can never get it dirty or fix it yourself, I still recommend it. Just know that you won't get a bag forever.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • crumpled
