Impossible to close and difficult to open as the bag is so flexible

The bag is too flexible which makes the zipper not work properly unless you use two hands. Impossible to zip up with one hand. I have to stop riding to use a non-intended bag. I got a larger version of this bag and it does exactly the same thing. Perhaps adding some stiffening to the sides would help solve the zipper issue.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Stable and roomy for cycling

Size 100 is the same as size 200 with a few differences. Model 100 uses Velcro instead of studs, has an inner pocket instead of a shape enhancer. Without the shape enhancer, the bag becomes more flexible, but zippering becomes more difficult. The 200 version attaches easily due to the screw connection, but the 100 version sometimes requires two hands to operate as there is no screw connection. However, the underside is very grippy so it doesn't wobble or bounce in any direction. It is spaciousโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Cute little Aero bag

I have a Cannondale bag with a thin profile that fits my phone: it doesn't. This bag is for a couple of gels, halved waffles, maybe a scratch bag or two on a short trip when you don't have time for a picnic on your bike. The construction is sturdy enough to zip up (for the most part), access your belongings, and zip up in a snap. You have to close it with velcro, and as long as you don't close it all the way to the back, closing it won't be a problem. Once I've zipped it all the way up, I canโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Everything ok

Not too big, not too small. Perfect!

Runs on Trek Domane SL6. I currently use a saddle bag that works most of the time. But when I just need some extra storage (mainly for protein bars etc) this stealth pocket is perfect. I can fit about 3 bars if I push in a bit and maybe a few gelcaps. It should be noted that my bike's top tube is a bit "flat" so this bag sits nicely on it (it doesn't roll left or right). This is a small bag. just keep this in mind when purchasing. He won't hold the phone. No way. Qualitatively no complaintsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • old

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 andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Doping ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  • Negative is present

Small but effective

I usually avoid buying products that have almost no reviews, but the sizes described fit my needs, so I took a chance. I needed an unobtrusive bag for a 2.5 ounce bottle of juice and a few packets of mustard for muscle cramps while driving. With the bottle inside, I can easily add 10 to 13 bags of mustard without forcing the bag shut. The bag is small, the cell phone doesn't fit in it, but the keys, cash and maybe an ID and a credit card fit in it. I installed Pedro tire levers but have notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Repair

Small. well done. excellent quality

I bought the xlab Stealth Pocket 100 for one reason - to carry my thin backpack. This bag is pretty small but I can fit an inner tube, a CO2 cartridge, 2 tire arms, a micro inflator and a mini multi tool. It is very difficult to fit all of this into this small bag. If I put my flat kit under the seat (e.g. with a saddlebag), the xlab 100's stealth pocket can hold a few gels, some cash and maybe a small phone. I don't think it fits an iPhone sized phone. There are bigger bags but I wanted small,

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Volume
