The side panels on bag I received are sewn on 90 degrees off so if you use the carrying strap everything spills out the main compartment. Thought I was doing something wrong until I really looked at the picture and saw the difference. Not a deal breaker, bag serves it's purpose, just not as versatile as it should be.
We first bought the smaller handlebar bag, but like Goldilocks, it was just a little too small. We replaced them with this larger bag, and it was just right! We love the magnetic closure and the ability to carry it as a shoulder bag after parking the bikes. It is extremely well made and roomy.
Love the bag looks very durable and spacious, good quality and love the look of it especially on my bike..
I purchased the XL bar bag hoping that it would pair well with the Blue Ridge Handlebar Harness made by Rogue Panda (highly recommended) and also be a good short adventure bag. Does both perfectly! Holds two tubes (27.5 x 44 mm), tools, rain shell, a wad of cash, phone, and a snack or three. The magnetic closure is amazing--hasn't shown any interest in accidentally opening, even on washboard fire roads.
awesome bag, love the MAGNET CATCH , EASY IN AND OUT YOUR HAND DOESEN'T GET CAUGHT !! BUY ONE !! DANNY
