Review on 🚲 Water-Resistant Bike Saddle Bag: Roswheel 131455 - Quick Release Bike Under Seat Pack & Pouch by James Khalifa

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad but not for long

What's good? This saddlebag has a handy size, good reflectors and a practical strap for attaching a rear light. It has a nice stretch/woven pocket for keys and small items. It has a spare tube, my small first aid and repair kits, a pair of surgical gloves, a tube of sunscreen, a tube patch kit, a splint. Tools, a small Topeak torque wrench and a small iPump. And all this in a bag with compact dimensions (this is far from the declared volume of 1.2 liters). What's happening? First, the mounting straps were badly worn and broke after about 8 months of use. After a few months, two holes opened up in the upper part - definitely not waterproof. Like most saddlebags, the Velcro seatpost strap ruins expensive shorts/bibs (I replaced the strap with a zip-tie after it ruined two of my favorite shorts). If you're aware of its shortcomings, it's a worthy value. The straps holding it to the saddle wore out in about 8 months but I ride 150-200 miles a week. Many people will live much longer from it.

Pros
  • Great for me
