Great quality, poor design
Great quality but poor design. The cables from the bike interferes with bag and unable to utilize full bag capacity.

Beige Bar Bag
Bought a beige one (my bike is Grey/bright yellow) because it was reduced and I actually really like it, I wasn't sure if I wanted a bar bag or a frame pack (this was cheaper). I've used it for five hour rides to take extra fuel and a few other extra's and it's worked a treat, it also comes off and has a strap to carry over shoulder and I've used it like this as well. Really useful sized bag, not massive but can fit plenty in!! Now I just need a discounted frame bag :-)

New version is improved
Bought for a second bike. I have the original bar bag on my other bike and always felt, whilst a great product, was slightly let down by the main handlebar/frame straps loosing the tight tension after a few rides. This new bag seems to address that problem with a newer securer press down plastic lock to the strap clasps. Everything else is great, plenty of room with well placed compartments and reflective trim. This bag has become an everyday fixture now when I ride.

This bag looks good on the dance floor also…
Nice bag with good size and fit on handlebar. Be advised if you use a bike computer and a mount that extend over the bag opening. I had to reposition mine to the stem. This way you can still access the bag via the zippers while riding.
The front loops are of little use. Some mesh net would be nice here to a quick storage of a wind vest or the like. An elastic band does the job for me here.
But good purchase to a fair price. And orange always looks good on a bike.

Excellent bag, Outstanding Value
My first non-clothing Rapha purchase and for the first time I say Bargain! Not a word normally associated with Rapha. This bag was a pleasant surprise for the ruggedness of the material, the beautiful color, hardy construction and attention to detail ( curved zipper pulls, secure and versatile mounting, interior pockets. I'm simply smitten with this bag! Just the right size too, I put my rain jacket, spare gloves and food for my longer rides. Highly recommended!

Very Versatile
I bought this bag for a sportive as I didn’t want an oversized saddle bag and needed to carry 2 water bottles so couldn’t carry my usual bottle cage tool case. I was a bit sceptical at first thinking it would destroy the aero feel and look of the bike but once I’d gotten over this I found it the nose versatile bike bag I’ve owned. Not only does it hold my backup tubes, pump, food and lock, there’s also space for the occasional rain cape and or gillet. No more bulging rear pockets!
The only negative is that my frame is too small for it to fit on the crossbar and still carry 2 water bottles, but that’s my fault for being so short rather than the bag’s. I also had to fix additional cable protection to the front of the frame as the bag altered the lie of the brake cables; I now just need to invest in an integrated headset :-D

Excellent bag, and a bargain
Had been looking for the "perfect" bar bag for a while - small enough for an aggressive road bike setup, big enough for a spare water bottle, secure on the bars, not too heavy or bulky, etc. Kept thinking I'd have to compromise somewhere or pay through the nose for something >$100. Along comes this lil' guy, which ticked all the boxes and was really reasonably priced! Was happy when it arrived and I keep being impressed by how well-designed it is. A bargain!

***** Perfect…*****
I didn't really fancy a bar bag, but I thought, well Im off on my travels and it would be good to compliment the ortlieb seat pack…first test before the adventure, marvellous stuff…filled it up with loads of things and it didn’t move or jump around on a 25 mile rough gravel route…i was so impressed i bought another and thats now being used as a frame bag….on the actual adventure they performed brilliantly and they kept the rain out too. I highly recommend

Alright, but there might be better alternatives
It’s okay, but nothing great. Holds a fair bit inside (i put my mini-pump, rain cape, snacks, wallet and keys) in the main compartment and there’s still a lot of free real estate. I use aero bars and i find that the loops aren’t quite close enough to have it fit nicely, although it does still fit. My biggest bug bear is you can’t use it as a mini frame bag unless you’re quite a knees out cyclist. It’s not narrow enough to avoid rubbing on the inside legs.

Well designed, practical bag
As I started doing longer rides on remote gravel roads, i was looking for a bag transport additional water, along with something that provided quick and easy access to my phone to take pictures and to carry some food. This handlebar bag is just about perfect. It easily carries an 800ml water pouch, a couple of energy bars, my iPhone, wallet along with a few small tools. The bag is well secured with the built-in straps, and does not rattle. Looks great too!

Nice Pack
Overall, this is a nice well built bag. One concern I had while reading the review was the straps coming loose while riding. Well, that is not an issue; they must have changed the straps to a locking design so there is no way the top straps are coming loose. I like having the small zipper in front. My only negative is that I wished they made a model slightly bigger so you could fit a book or a larger journal, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

Good quality and large capacity, but...
Bag is made of quality material - in and out, and can store a lot of supplies especially when going on long rides. It can easily fit inner tubes, tools, nutrition and other items. The only downside I noticed was that the exterior pocket isn't waterproof. I went on a 100km ride a few weeks back and it rained heavily. All items in the main carriage remained dry, but my phone that was kept in the exterior pocket was wet. Otherwise, still a good product.

Great bag with one mod
Really nice high quality bar bag. I have several from various makers and this one gets the most use. I enjoy the quality zippers, front stash pouch and interior divided sections. My one issue is the clasps that connect to the bars. You can never get them tight enough because the clasps prevent the straps from sitting flush. So, I removed the clasp straps and added Velcro straps. Now the bag is perfect. I hope they update the next version with Velcro.

Love the lil guy
I don't write reviews at all, but i had to for this lil guy. It has made my going ridding so much more convenient, I can go for longer rides with kore confidence since i can pack more emergency items than i could with just a saddle bag and jersey pockets. Lil bag has gone through mud and kept the insides nice and dry. Haven't tested on rainy weather yet. Buy it if you want to carry extra tubes and snacks, well worth it. Best purchase of the year.

A Great Addition To Your Ride
There is no reason why you wouldn't want to take this bag with you on any ride. Commute or a long day out. Looks great on my road bike and on my city bike. The only issue I have is with it sitting nicely on my road bike with my cabling, always seems to end up a little skew whiff. The fasteners have been updated and are much better than previous but I would like them to be a little more heavy duty. The inside is very nice and very good quality!

Stylish, visible, spacious
I really like the looks of it, minimalistic yet standing out. It has enough space to fit your spares, snacks an extra layer but not too bulky. My arcteryx gamma lt barely fits, so does my marmot minimalist goretex jacket. If you pack sth like a gillet or arm/leg warmers you will definitely fit all the other essentials. I really like this bag. Remember that it's not aero :) One great thing about the bag is that it does not make any noise while you are riding (the zipper does not make a sound:)) The only thing I worry about are the corners of the bag: the fabric the bag is made of is pretty tough, definitely not too pliant, therefore i seems to me that the corners might be really susceptible to getting scuffed and eventually holes might occur. It has not happened yet and I have taken it for around 10 rides, so time will tell. Great bag in general.

Solid but frame scuffing issue
Lots of room with dividers. Appears solid and aesthetically pleasing. The one issue is scuffing on the top tube where the straps (abrasive) hang the bar bag and swings back and forth during riding. Unfortunately, this occurred during my first use of the bag on a brand new custom paint job. I don't have a great fix yet, but have inserted pieces of cloth between the straps and top tube. Not a great look, but okay hack for the moment.

Good bag if you don't carry much.
The garish colour was at sale price but it goes well with my blue bike. A modest size that fits neatly with enough room for a sandwich and a few tools. The clip fixing works well and better than velcro. Could work as a frame bag if you can get it snug against the head tube as the end strap is not generous on length. No idea about how waterproof it is. A bit pricey at £50 but at a sale price of £20 there is absolutely no buyers remorse.

Lots of space
I’m currently using the bag for slightly longer rides and it fits my phone, portable charger, snacks, jacket, card, keys! Basically everything you need for a day adventure! All pockets are accessible on the bike which is handy if you don’t want to stop. The zips are very durable, I’m yet to try it in wet weather but it looks and feels sturdy and waterproof so I think it will hold up. Great delivery and service as usual from Rapha.

Very good bar bag.
Great little bar bag and surprising the amount you can fit in. Really well thought-out bar bag with multiple compartments and sections to fit stuff in. I'm diabetic, so usually have my insulin pens in the front with my phone, gels and credit cards in the front. Can then keep tools, a spare jacket, keys, mask and earphone holders in the main section which has separate compartments in. It doesn't make a huge loss, aero and speed wise, at least for someone like me that averages between 25-35kmh. The only thing I would say is I'm right-handed, so it's tricky pulling from the left, under my bike computer, in a hurry. The other thing is that it if you like taking your camera with you, you would struggle to whack your mirrorless set-up in here when it rains quickly without detaching the lens. Lastly, the strap to turn it into a little shoulder-bag aren't so secure.

Literally the perfect bag.
This bag is great quality for a great price. I love that I can easily rotate it between all of my bikes, and it's literally the perfect size - I can easily fit a couple of tubes, levers, a pump, my phone, nutrition and still have plenty of room for more. But at the same time, it doesn't feel bulky/oversized like some bags do. And I can still have my computer mount, lights, etc. on my bars without it getting in the way.

Great, roomy bar bag with tons of features
Roomy bar bag! You can fit in flat kits, tools, gels, first aid, self defense accessories and snacks all in the main compartment alone. Also converts into a fanny pack if you're into that sort of thing! Buy two and you can install the other one on the frame for longer endurance rides! My only knock on it is that it's not entirely water proof. If you're bringing something that HAS to stay dry, put it in a ziploc(R) bag.

A decent allrounder.
This might not be the best frame bag there is due to it's thickness. It tends to get in the way of the legs and it can not be tightened to the frame perfectly. But then again, it's a very versatile bag. I think it's at it's best on the handlebar. And it can be semi easily taken off the bike and used as a shoulder bag in use you don't want to leave your tools/belongings to the mercy of thieves when you park your bike.

Really liking it
Simply a great bag with surprisingly large space inside, and enough pockets for all kinds of objects. Bought it for my gravel bike where I use it as a frame bag, but I was so pleased with it that I ordered another one for the commuter bike where I keep it at the handlebar. Works either way! Keeps the water out and has been carrying anything from mobile phone to arm warmers and bananas. Superb price to quality ratio.
