I own two of these, both in the 1.0 liter size, one for the wife's bike and one for mine. I like the 1 L size to hold my Apple iPhone, small wallet, a small pocket knife, keys, and a granola bar. I've personally ridden about 12,000 miles with mine including several 500-600 mile week long trips over the 5 years I've had them. I haven't had issues with water intrusion but I doubt it's exactly waterproof due to the zipper location and construction. A huge improvement over digging blindly into a jersey back pocket or worse into a small inaccessible saddle bag. As for durability, after literally hundreds of openings and closings of the pack stuffed to the max, the zipper is still working. No regrets..wish I had bought 5-10 years earlier.
Frame pack performed seamlessly. Zippers opened and closed without a hitch. Waterproof pouch was in fact
waterproof. I usually don't use a top tube pack but on this two week bike trip it was near perfect.
I say near perfect. What would have made it perfect was the next size up. During the trip I learned what a wonderful addition this pack made.
If you're looking for additional storage on the bike, consider this product. Additionally, this is a great vendor.
Big fan of Apidura bags, as I already have one of their frame bags and a saddle pack as well as well. Needed a bit more storage for a multi-day road biking bike-packing adventure than those two bags alone could offer, so sprung for this handlebar bag. High quality, straps down nice and snug, fit between the drops just fine and I particularly liked using the bungee on top to strap down a few things I needed often but sometimes liked to stow, such as my long fingered gloves. I went with the 9L bag as I was concerned the larger one may not quite fit comfortably between handlebars, and glad I did, this one works a treat! Would highly recommend this to a friend or anyone asking.
