Great bag for the price

I bought a 5 liter bag hoping to fit enough clothes and essentials for light summer bike rides. This bag did not disappoint me. Enough room for flip flops, an extra jersey and windproof vest, toilet kit, tool kit, pair of shorts and shirt to keep you off the bike and grab a bite to eat. This allows me to close the bag with three clasps (first photo). With only two zipper rolls (second picture) you can attach a few more things, which works great too. Pros: - Thick vinyl material, feels very waterproof (although to be honest I haven't used it in the rain yet) - Sturdy construction, the bag keeps its shape and doesn't sag when not fully packed. - Wide seat post strap with strong Velcro for a secure fit on the seat post. Other buckles and straps are also of decent quality. Cons: The saddle strap buckles seem to loosen a little while riding, causing the bag to "wobble" a bit. However, this is irrelevant. A set of "jaw" buckles will solve this problem and I will try to replace them at some point - the tail light mount only works if the bag is folded 3 times which reduces the capacity of the bag. With two rollers, the light is directed straight up (see second picture). The manufacturer was able to easily fix this by moving the nozzle closer to the back of the bag. Unfortunately, I haven't found a self-made lifehack that doesn't damage the waterproof material. The top elastic cords are very tight together making it difficult to attach more than a small snack or jars to the top of the bag. This is mainly due to the small size of the bag, so it doesn't matter. The bag is heavier than stated. The listed weight is 318g, but my weight was 405g (14.3 oz) on a digital kitchen scale. That doesn't surprise me given the waterproof PVC material. However, the manufacturer should correct the specified weight as it seems too low. Overall I gave it five stars because despite some flaws it offers great value for money compared to brands like Apidura which easily cost four times the price of this product. I can also get a 10 liter bag but at the moment 5 liters fills my need.

Pros
  • Strong fastening strap, anti-friction and non-slip: multi-stripe design with non-slip leather in all positions of contact seat, effectively increase resistance and reduce slipping. Add strong adhesive tape and hold tight when loading heavy items. More stable, carry more.
Cons
  • Negative gift
