Great quality bag, small downsides
Great sized bag that holds plenty for it's size. I took it out recently with a phone gimbal in it (DJI Osmo Mobile 3), and the gimbal with iPhone 7s+ attached fit in nicely, with room for me to pack a bar or two. These were difficult to get out, but that's because the gimbal was so big.
Straps on top are easy to adjust and sturdy. They don't loosen easily when set. The strap which attaches to the head tube loosens very easily so becomes somewhat pointless, but it is easy to remove, so it is not a problem realistically.
The zips are high quality, however they are installed in a way that means they are flipped to the "off position" where they don't easily glide when you're trying to open and close the bag sometimes. Minor downside, but easy to overcome when you learn the right position, however one could argue that you shouldn't need to think too hard to make the zip open.
All in all a great bag. I wish there were all colour options available at all times, but this is the generation of limited edition.

Handlebar bag
The bag secures really well to the bars and head tube. It's does mark a little from rubbing but I haven't found a bag that doesn't and a little Heli tape prevents damage. It seems super waterproof and the size is ample enough for tubes, tools, waterproof and some food.
Only reason I went for 4/5 stars is that it gets dirty really quickly and for some reason it just doesn't clean. I've scrubbed it, everything but just can't get rid.of mud splats / dirt etc. So after a short space of time it looks weathered.

A lovely EDC for your commuter and beyond!
Sick as! Bag is very nice and looks good hanging off my bars. My only complaint is that the carry strap and loops for this bag, to be worn off bike, are not always solid. As in, the loops don't properly secure the strap hooks, sometimes the hooks pop out of the bag loops - Hence the 4/5 stars!
I've used this bag a few times off-road, albeit I don't have it stuffed with things. But I've taken it down some steep fire roads at high speeds and the bag has performed well. No noise or flappy-ness to be found.

Great Design!
Great bag design! Water resistant - haven't used or tested in a downpour but have experienced a lot of mud and splashes, stays in place - built in adjustment locks keep belts from self adjusting, tough bag material - will be using this bag for a long time, hi-vis pink internals - can easily show you if you forget to zip up keeping contents secure. The bag is soft enough to squeeze in a bike computer mount and GoPro. Other bag designs are too hard making it impossible to have the bag and computer out front

Exceptional quality bag and I don't care what othe
Bought this bag since it offers just the right space for a few items. Don't get me wrong, I like to ride light and look like a dude working out for the Tour de Whatever but, I ride 75-90 miles a week and like to have some conveniences on my Roubaix Expert. This bag meets all my needs and then some. BTW, I'm 62, weigh 191 lbs, live in Ventura, CA and have a strong loyalty to Rapha gear since it's all I buy. Been riding for 3 years and can't look to others when quality is #1 on my bike gear check list.

Neat little bag
It's a really neat little bag, nicely put together with neat details like the reflective webbing along the front. The build seems high quality too and the smaller external pocket it useful for managing items. The main straps holding it to the bars are great quality too with the locking mechanisms to stop them coming loose. The only areas for improvement is the strap to hold it to the steerer which doesn't have the lock and can come loose, and the carry strap is a little weighty with the huge metal clips.

Long rides without coffee shops
Perfect for a longer ride, have room for snacks a jacket and whatever doesn't fit in your backpockets. However I would prefer if the straps had velcro instead of the plastic clasps. But the functionality and quality is as expected from Rapha, top level.

Not the Rapha experience of yesteryears
First of all, Rapha’s shipping consists of tossing your package on horse-drawn cart and it might get to you in about 4 weeks. When it shows up it’ll show all of the scars from 4 weeks of travel. Quality has also gone back to the dark ages with loose threads and questionable stitching. Customer service is lacking if non-existent. I was given a coupon for my troubles that didn’t work and when I reached out about that I was ghosted. All of what you might expect from a company now owned by Walmart.

Perfect all around bike bag and bonus strap
Iphone fits in the front pocket for easy access. Bag holds wallet, a few snack bars with a jacket or with another water bottle if needed. It’s been perfect plus it has a couple extra straps and options to get creative with. Super stoked on this bag.

Nice spacious bag, but...
Sturdy bag with lots of space but the pictures on the website are not accurate. It doesn't snugly fit on the handlebars due to brake cables on any average road bike so you have to tuck it in behind which means its harder to take out the contents.

Not rain proof
So far I love the design and everything only this bag is not rain proof because when I ride on light rain the inside is wet because I rode for more than 1 hr. But I am satisfied with everything so far.
Only if can improve to make it rain proof

Well designed bar bag
Excellent bag and is pretty robust. I found it be well designed as the webbing/straps enable it to fit different handlebar styles - i even managed to get it to fit to my brompton. Another feature i liked was the shoulder strap. The buckle design enables easy removal without adjusting the straps and you can take it with you. It is a bar bag so the shoulder strap is a bonus but my only minor issue is that the shoulder strap buckle design means it can decouple a little too easily in certain angles.

Very Functional.
I Bought this on Dec 2019. Honestly it better than i thought. It perfectly fit my DJI mobile 3, But I have one thing need to say, which is about the hook system to lock the belt and bag to together. The hook is easily to fall out.

Good bag, orange is pretty nice!
Nice looking bar bag that doubles as a sling bag. I like the colour and reflective detail and quality, also the different mounting options. A little bit expensive but if you get this during a sale it’s a bargain. Looks awesome on both my road and gravel bike. Fishing out snacks on the move is hard because brake cables, computer mounts etc get in the way. Ideal for rides where you don’t mind stopping to eat. Seems fairly water resistant but wouldn’t want to test it in very wet conditions.

Ideal day bag,just the right size.
Ideal size for day trips on road or trail. Stylish and waterproof. I haven't given 5 stars as the bag caused rubbing around the logo on my bike, so I'd recommend fitting protective clear tape before using.

Good deal on a well made, compact bag.
This is a very well made compact bag that stays put and holds just enough for a long day in the saddle. I can fit enough bars/gels for a 100 mile ride plus a wind vest, phone, keys, wallet and spare battery. The straps come with a mechanism that prevents them from loosening up over rough gravel. It can be a bit fiddly to open the zipper when the bag is really full, because the bars and cables get in the way, but that's not a deal breaker. I am just so happy to have empty jersey pockets.

Nice, but ....
It's a good bag, with good storage and well divided, but there are two aspects that could be improved: the bottom should have a harder surface and the straps rub against the handlebars, scratching it.

New and improved.
I purchased this bag when it was first released around a year or so ago and returned it when I realised that the straps slipped when any weight was added to the bag; I was really disappointed as I liked the bag a lot. Rapha stopped selling it as there was obviously a problem with the design.
I then took a chance and ordered it again when it was reissued with improvements. The bar straps now have a locking clip on them which has solved the previous issue. It is now an excellent bag.

Looks great, perfect size, secure fit.
I bought this a few weeks ago and have had it out for a few long rides to test it out. Quality feels superb, it fit really well on each bike although I used electrical tape to prevent strap from rubbing the paint on one bike just in case. The bag fits everything you could need on a longer self supported day trip and doesn't bounce or rattle around. The included shoulder strap is a nice touch although I haven't used that yet. Didn't rain so that too will have to wait for another time.

Small but great
Great bar bag that fits all you need for a day adventure. Fits perfect on the bars and easy to remove. The belt allows you to take your valuables with you when sign seeing while on your adventures.

Bar bag
A well made and easy to fit bag of a useful size just a shame that the zip isn't waterproof or even water-resistant bag was very wet inside after just 30 minutes in moderate rain

Great quality bag
A tough bag and the perfect size for a day’s gravel ride. Fixing to bars and frame is simple too with no paint scuffing (so far). The usual Rapha quality and very pleased.

Good bar bag
Nicely made, decent size. The attaching straps are adjustable but on my bike the plastic clips have worn the black anodising off the handle bar which is seriously annoying. I’m not sure I can blame rapha for that, rather it’s an occupational hazard. Something to be aware of. Beyond that some internal pockets and a separate compartment on the front which contains a strap, presumably for man bag style antics. Well finished and the pink inside is cool. Will use again that’s for sure.

Great bag and bigger than your average saddle bag!
I had spent some time researching a saddle bag and they just weren’t big enough. I chose this one as it is really neat, great colour and I can fit my phone along with plenty of other things in it and it is easily accessible in front of me. I think having on the bar between would catch my legs so have placed it on the handle bars. It also comes with a handy strap that I keep in the bag if I need to take it with me If my bike is locked up somewhere. Very happy with my purchase.

Perfect size for shorter rides. Love the strap which is included and can make this in to the trendy crossbody bag even while the bike is parked.

Great small bar bag
Bought this last month. Using it down in France to carry food, telephone and jacket. Prevents having to place items in back pockets.

Save your pockets - buy a bar bag
Saw this on a friends bike when we did the Rapha "Day in Hell" ride and thought it looked like a good way to carry everything you need for a self supported day out without looking like a camel. I am now addicted to this bag as I have everything I need to do roadside repairs, drop into a coffee shop (carry the Rapha quick lock in here) and get bread at the end of a ride by carrying a musette in there as well. clips on and off easily with a sling strap if you are a hipster.

The hand(lebar) bag everyone needs.
I love this bar bag. I used to cram everything into a small saddle bag but after deciding I’m not a grand tour athlete some aero watt lose is no biggy. It’s stylish. Roomy and has little compartments inside. I have my multi tool and gas canisters in little pockets to stop jingling. Then I stuff what ever else I might need in there. Rode Devon grit with it on and it stayed put and I didn’t notice it there. The looped front is where I mounted my race number. Super practical.

This is well worth it
The best accessory I’ve bought for my bike hands down. Waterproof and versatile. I occasionally use it as a casual bag too.
