Know before you buy
Yes, the pouch is designed with a simple, one-handed opening and closure system, allowing you to access snacks or gear without needing to stop your bike.
The bag is constructed from Dimension-Polyant VX21, a four-layer laminated fabric that is highly water-resistant and durable. While it will keep your contents dry in most weather conditions, it is not technically submersible.
The three-point system uses adjustable straps to secure the pouch to your handlebar and head tube, preventing it from swaying or bouncing while you ride on rough terrain.
The 'Plus' version is an enhanced iteration that adds extra storage capacity and refined features, such as exterior mesh pockets specifically designed for stashing empty wrappers or small trash.
The interior is padded, which provides a layer of protection against vibrations and minor impacts. However, it is primarily designed for food, tools, and soft gear, so handle delicate electronics with care.
Yes, it features a mesh drainage hole at the bottom, which allows any moisture or condensation that accumulates inside to escape rather than pooling at the bottom.
