Know before you buy
The bag is made from water-resistant fabric, which protects your gear from light rain and road spray. However, it is not fully waterproof, so you should use a dry bag or cover if you are riding in heavy, sustained downpours.
Yes, you can. The bag includes a secondary strap specifically designed to secure the bag to your head tube or fork, which prevents it from bouncing or shifting while riding over rough terrain.
With a 4.5-liter capacity, this bag is sized for essentials like a wallet, keys, phone, a light jacket, and a few snacks. It is designed for daily commutes or day trips rather than long-distance touring that requires bulky gear.
The mount is designed to fit standard handlebar diameters found on most commuter and touring bikes. If you have oversized handlebars or unique aero bars, you may want to double-check your bar diameter against the mount's specifications before purchasing.
The clear, flip-up pouch is primarily designed for paper maps, but it can accommodate many smartphones. Keep in mind that it is not a dedicated touchscreen-compatible phone mount, so you may need to take your phone out to interact with the screen.
Yes, it comes with an included shoulder strap that clips on quickly. Once you detach the bag from the handlebars using the quick-release system, you can carry it like a small messenger bag or purse.
