The right size for the jobEverything I needed to relieve my "overpacked jersey pockets" situation. I like to keep my road-rash kit, mini-pump and valuables in here, and try to reserve the jersey pockets for soft items. It's very well built (Rapha never skimps on materials), and the strap configuration ensures proper customization and stability under your handlebar dashboard. The photos do not show the stem strap that steadies the rear side of the bag to the head of the steering column. People talk about not "aero" and yeah, true, but I couldn't sense much difference unless I was plowing 38-42 mph on a steep descent (then yes, you will feel some buffeting or resistance on the bag).

Great bag with one massive flaw.I regularly use this bag on my daily commute with it being a great size for my lunch. I like the versatility provided from the removable shoulder strap.
However, there is one massive flaw. Although the bag is waterproof, the zip isn’t. Unfortunately, I faced a couple hours of light rain during bike packing in Wales at the start of June. When I reached my destination I found a small pool of water inside the bag with my items paddling in it.
It baffles me why Rapha would make a bike packing bag without a more waterproof zip or at least the addition or a storm flap. It feels like a really basic mistake for a company (where a lot of my kit comes from) who prides themselves on “testing to the limits”.

Some Clasps need some design revisionGood size dimensions for the bag itself. Clip clasps options for attaching to actual bike bar.
The black colour/material seems to show a lot of marks by just touching it with clean hands so it looks dirty quite quickly.
I mainly bought this so I could use the longer strap when not on my bike sitting in cafes for breaks etc. ( mainly over my shoulder or cross body).
Unfortunately I can’t use it as desired or advertised as the metal ‘S’ ring type hardware doesn’t stay connected to the bag and slip off when you walk.
They really need proper D ring clips on this bag. It’s a shame it’s not 100% perfect for such a pricy small bag!

Great Value Bar bagI already own a "burrito" type barbag from another maker, which is fine and does the job but has very little features other than storage, which is why I wanted to buy the Rapha bag.
This has to be one of the best value barbags and with most features of it's type on the market, with bags costing twice as much as this that have less features than this one! The fact it can be used off the bike with the supplied shoulder strap is a big bonus over it's rivals. The quality is what you would expect from Rapha (excellent) and it is just the right size for long day rides. Absolutely love it.

Great bag for the priceVersatility. That's what this bag is. It's works as a bar bag, small frame bag or essentials sling with the included strap. The bag with well finished with flawless stitching save for a few scrap threads which were easily removed. The bright bag interior and big compartment holders makes it easy to find and organize small or darker items within the bag.
My only issue is the zipper on the large compartment. With the zipper pull being stiffer than the bulk of the fabric it does require two hands to open/close which makes retrieving items whilst riding somewhat difficult when used as a bar bag.

Bar bagI bought this bag for some longer days out in the saddle and in particular for a upcoming ride to Paris and back in July . I will need to have my passport and extra snacks, suncream and other essentials to hand. The bag is a perfect size for my road bike with ample storage and a clever design that you can fit a light on the front too. The quality and finish are of very good quality and it seems very well made a sturdy - took it for its first ride 85 miles on Monday and was extremely pleased. Can thoroughly recommend.

Flashy and FunctionalI purchased this bar bag in preparation for a few long-distance bike rides I have planned this year. I love how flashy and functional the product it. The front zipper pocket is great for credit card, gels, or snacks. The bigger pocket is great for sandwiches, bigger food items, and to store spare tubes or excess clothing. I also love the yellow-orange color and how reflective it is, especially early in the morning. It was also easy to setup and adjust on different locations on my bike
The only negative thing about the bar bag is ease of access under my trip computer and there are no instructions for attaching the strap for use off the bike. Despite this, it is a great product.

Compact bar bag. typical excellent Rapha style!Some bar bags offer a lot of room, but that leads to more weight. This smaller bag allows you to carry some essentials with easy access. I carried my ID, a mini wallet, phone, advil, a spare tube, a small charger, battery pack, charge cables for phone and bike computer and a gilet & arm warmers, with room to spare for some extra gels on a long brevet.
This would depend on a number of factors such as your handlebars, stem and the type of bike, but yes we tried to account for bike computers when creating this bar bag.

I just purchased a Specialized gravel e-bike. I cannot see the back of the Rapha bag so I don't know if the straps will cover the remote buttons (2) on the top of my handlebars. Is it possible to adjust the straps or are they fixed in one particular spot?
Preguntado por: Keegs
The distance between top straps which attach to your handlebars is from min. 9.5cm to max. 15.5cm.
You can move the straps on top from side to side a bit but they cannot be moved otherwise.

Is this bag waterproof or water resistant? The materials would appear to not be waterproof and a DWR coating is mentioned yet the word waterproof is used.
Also are the seams sewn or sewn and taped?
Thanks

The Bar Bag is not taped at all and is just water repellent in the fabric.
It is not completely waterproof and should not be used as a waterproof bag.
