ALMSTHRE Bar Bag Review 

ALMSTHRE handlebar bag review

Key Points 

- Convenience 
- Size 
- Durability

 Convenience 

Mounting that allows the handlebar bag to be used across many different bikes and setups.

ALMSTHRE full-sized cycling handlebar bag designed for adventure, featuring weatherproof material and waterproof zippers. The Navy Blue bag is securely mounted on the handlebars, ready to accompany cyclists on their outdoor pursuits.

Size

Large enough to contain all the snacks that would be desired for your ride but small enough to not cause any mounting issues.  
"This bag strikes the perfect middle ground for me."

Durability

With a stiff outer shell the bag will maintain shape under weight. Welded zippers keep the contents of your handlebar bag dry, even if you get caught out in the rain. Quality material that will withstand your need for big miles!
