Review on Brompton Carry Durability Lightness Titanium by Aaron Ali

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very handy Brompton bag

I have the large and medium Brompton bags which are great for travel but are so big that they act like a brake in a headwind. It looked like a large size that could fit a few things, but small enough to fold the bike down and out of the way while riding. The price is also very reasonable - about the same as a good saddlebag. The photos show that you can use it as a bottle holder. You can not. The first bump and your bottles slide across the street next to you. It's okay - I never intended to put water bottles in it. It has a thin, rigid body with a fabric hinge at the bottom and a zipper around the perimeter. There are two internal mesh pockets and fabric hangers on both sides to prevent things from falling out when the zipper is unzipped. Look at the first photo where he is sitting elegantly on my Brompton. Looks pretty cute, doesn't it? I currently have a CO2 cartridge and adapter, tire arm and patch kit. I might add flashlights, a sandwich or a light jacket before it fills up. While you can fold the bike with the pannier attached, you can see in the second photo that it sits slightly above the saddle so you'll need to remove it before crating it. No problem. I think it's a brilliant idea, well implemented and inexpensive. Well done Santik.
