Review on WILD MAN Waterproof Bike Bag: Convenient Phone Holder for Adult Bikes - Top Tube Handlebar Bag for iPhone/Android (Up to 6.5”) by Roy Niemeyer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Windman = Excellent quality

I have several Wild Man panniers that are sold under different brands. They are all excellent in quality. The zippers and exterior are excellent, as is the strapping. There are always more straps than you need, so just cut off the excess once you put the bag in place. This front frame bag is a good size and is held securely in place thanks to the front strap and two bottom straps. There is a curve at the bottom that helps the bag conform to the frame. I had no issues with knee strikes with the bag. I use it on a Schwinn Aluminum Comp 27.5 MTB. The bag fastens at the front. In order for the bag to be able to be opened, the zippers must go all the way. It's pretty easy due to the large zipper Wild Man uses, but there's a little drag in the corner. I've been using Wild Man bags for a while and haven't had a single problem with the zipper no matter how fast I zip it up. The top front edge of the bag is angled, allowing it to open approximately 45 degrees on the frame. It is enough to reach for a candy bar or eye drops. Plugging and unplugging the phone isn't easy, and that's where I have to stop. If there's one thing I don't like about Wild Man cases, it's the incredibly strong Velcro they use to hold the phone in place. I thought it would get easier with time, but velcro pads are just as strong today as they were 8 months ago. I've started hanging my phone on the steering wheel with a separate mount, as I often need to text people back while driving to work - most of the time I'm stopping. Most of time. When the weather is bad, I put my phone safely in the Wild Man. It is completely waterproof and keeps everything dry. With my LG V35, I can tap the screen to wake it up, unlock it with a PIN, and do most things I need to do. I added an app called "Always Visible Volume" so I can change the volume on my headphones while my phone is in my pocket. This app places the media volume control in the notification bar where it can be easily pulled down. Big buttons too. I definitely recommend this bike bag. Don't hesitate - it's good.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Everything is fine
