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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worth a try Bike racks and bags

UPDATE - After 1.5 seasons with this to-go bag I have to say that it's worth the money. . I bought a second one. When it rains, it absorbs more water than thick Cordura Revelate/Oveja Negra bags. And some of the stitching is beginning to unravel. However, keep in mind that this is 50-60% less than expedition bags. Unless you're doing 2-week overland trips, that's fine. And they're better at one thing - TWO-SIDED. Oveja Negra poop bags can be used on either side but you will lose access to the mesh pockets or your bungee will end up in the front or side which is a real problem when you have aero bars and are tired. -------- ----------------------------------------- I Have only tried this feed bag in moderately dry conditions. I don't know how it will hold up in the rain. For half the price of the Revelate Designs equivalent, I had to try it. So far I can't complain at all. It's not as well made as the Revelate product, but not far off. Opening and closing with one hand is easy. Easily fits my 24-40 oz water bottles. The lack of natural structure in the feed bag is a bit of a nuisance, but it's an easy fix. I cut off the top of an old Nalgene and stuffed it in a build bag to use as food. I've ridden it a few hundred miles of gravel/wood roads so far. It's too early to say how it will hold up, but so far so good.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine
