Hello all,
since the bag is in a 10% discount (at least in the german online shop) I am getting more and more curious about it.
The price is just insane but after some research in the second market I realized that for example ortlieb is trying to get the same amount of money from the customer for this kind of products.
Are there any experiences with the bag, maybe someone with a longtime experience? There are already some discussions about it with doubts about the lifetime of it.
Are there competitive alternatives?
90€…i could get a good bike for this money 🥲
I am very thankful for any comments 🙂

I have it in a size small. I used it once on a 80km ride. Overall I’m not so happy with it. Putting it on is a bit of a pain to get it to snap in place. More force is required than I would like. Without frame protectors I feel it will also damage the paint.
The size of it can hold a few clif bars or snacks. Nicer than my shirt pocket so they don’t get warm and mushy. There’s a weird Velcro loop inside that takes up space and hasn’t been useful for me. Once I put my iPhone in there but it barely fit and it was a real struggle to get it back out.
I bought 2 carbon water bottle cages and found out I can’t take my water bottle out with the bag installed. A side loader cage is necessary at least on the size small.
Overall I feel like it’s overpriced. I also am worried about wearing down the paint on my frame because I didn’t buy any frame protection. The zipper and how it opens I am also unsure how long it would last with heavy use. I will not find out because I will try to sell mine since I haven’t needed it on my 100km rides.
