Review on ๐Ÿšด XLAB Stealth Frame Bag: Boost your Aerodynamics with the Stealth Pocket 100 by Kevin Carr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I use this side pocket to store my salt tablets and for easy access where you don't have to get out.

I have used this in 3 of my triathlons this year and many more! I have a Kuota K-factor bike frame with internal cable routing, my derailleur cables go into the frame just behind the stem so traditional bags won't work due to the large clearance. However, this bag can sit just behind the cables and has enough velcro on the front to reach and wrap around the stem. Inside there is enough space for 2 gels and a small side pocket for small items. I use this side pocket to store my salt tablets and for easy access when you don't need to get out of the aero position. I'm giving this 4 stars because as one person mentioned it's difficult to reclose the bag once you've opened it fully and you risk losing your contents due to a hard hit. I just don't unzip the zipper all the way, maybe a temporary solution to the problem is to tape the bottom of the zipper with duct tape.

Pros
  • Doping ๐Ÿ”ฅ
