Water bottle bag

A ride about 10,000 a year. I have multiple bikes that I use depending on the ride and the weather. This hard case is snug and easy to transfer from bike to bike without having to fiddle with under the seat bag that’s hard to open and gain access.. I have a Garmin Varia radar on my bikes where a bag would be normally attached. Most of my rides are 40 miles and one large water bottle is just fine for that distance. I don’t miss the extra bottle cage . Especially if I hydrate before a ride. The case carries everything I should need . Plus I usually tuck a extra tube under the seat or in my Jersey pocket. . The case is a vacuumed formed shell that is rigid with a decent zipper . With a flat you just pull the case out Lay on the ground with all your tools within easy reach . Highly recommend

Excellent product- no complaints- holds my pump, spare tube and tire levers, etc. To the people that are complaining about the pull cord rubbing against their leg- simply rotate the cage bag so the cord is not on the side- I have no issues with that!

The zipper got stuck and broke on me after about a year... I'd give it 3.5 stars if that were possible. Other than that, my stuff fit in it well and didn't bounce around. I'm not going to get the same thing again.

The material of this storage back is nice foe this price point. I struggled with the decision of whether I needed a Frame bag, then I maybe a saddle bag behind the seat, and finally landing on this storage bag. Not a huge fan of the velcro strap look. What I like about this design is that it makes efficient use of the bottle cage which offers a simple storage solution. This is a good option if your bicycle has multiple mounts as you are sacrificing one of your bottle cages. Also geared for shorter rides where you may not be carrying a lot of gear. I was able to fit my multi tool, phone, and keys with space leftover for additional small items.

UPDATE - change 4 star to 5 star. I have been using this for several months. The zipper has maintained its integrity. The thing has never come loose or fallen out even when the bike has been dropped or crashed. One bike has an old metal water bottle holder while my other bike has a plastic open side bottle holder. No problems with either even though the plastic holder originally made me think it would notremain in place. Thoroughly pleased. ******* I was using an old water bottle to hold tools. Unfortunately, most water bottles have the thin neck and it is hard to fill it with tools. PRO: Storage bag held everything the bottle did and more. The kit stayed in place during some rather bumpy riding. One thing that might help is to use a zip-tie to hold the kit in place. CON: The only reason that I marked it four stars is because it does not fit very well into the water bottle holder. It works better if you turn the kit upside-down. The zipper seems rather cheap and flimsy and I wonder if it will fail. While a water bottle is water proof, this thing is not. Any riding through creeks or in rain and you will need to dry the kit.

Being a bike commuter means I need to handle unexpected situation on the road, and the most common one is flat tire. This thing looks minimal and low key, but holds my multi tool, a Swiss Army knife (with sleeve — I can fit a few more stuff if I remove the sleeve), some glue and tire patches, 2 tire levers, a pair of thin gloves, some stickers (to mark the hole once I find it), and a small old towel (hands can get messy during repair work). They all nicely fit into this thing without squeezing too much, but tight enough to not rattle. I have multiple bikes, and this can be easily transferred from one to the other as all my bikes have bottle cages. Two opportunities for improvements: - As many pointed out, the zipper pull is on the side and can hit the calf. My solution, as shown in photos, is to use a Velcro strap around the zipper. It also serves as a reinforcement to the case, as well as a useful tool during repair work. - I hope the case is half or one inch taller to hold my mini pump. But it’s not that bad because I have already mounted the pumps on my bikes in other ways, and, it won’t have enough space for a pump without removing some other tools. It already helped me patch my tire on the roadside in one of the recent rides. Had everything I needed and was able to get back on the road in like 15 min. I personally prefer to patch over replacing tubes especially on the road, because one of my bikes is a commuter eBike that needs lots of effort to remove the rear wheel. Patching is much easier for me.

Didn't fit due to other attachments (light, reflector, etc.). Seemed good enough, but returned.

First I will say that this bag is pretty nice and seems pretty sturdy. Mine came with a "Wild Man" logo on it, which I find a bit funny. I bought this mainly to fit my Galaxy S9+ which is a reasonably big phone. Without the case on my phone it fits, but pretty snug. With the slim case on my phone I have to squish the bag a bit so it mushrooms out in order to zip it. With the case on my phone, and the bag a bit mushroomed, it will still fit in my water bottle cages. However, mine are old school wire cages that are open on the sides. I don't think it would go into a newer style cage that wraps around a water bottle, but it probably would if my phone case wasn't on. Hope this review helps a few of you.

The bag is great but consider using a proper mounting cage. I overstuffed the bag and broke a cheap plastic cage on my bike. I then bought the expandable cage (the Topeak MWC 2) that Epessa uses on their website and inserted the bag as shown on the website with the spoon on the bottom of the cage sitting in the dimple on the bag. All is working well but the expandable cage can only take a diameter of 70mm (or 2.75 inches). The bag itself is more than 70mm if you include the zipper. Be careful to align the insertion correctly.

It’s a tight fit in most bottle cages. container itself is pretty good and it has a good feel. the flapping zipper can get annoying while you’re riding.

Aceptable

Entra muy bien un tanque de CO2 y su despachador pequeño , un multiherramienta, la cámara de bici ruta NO cabe

Perfect product. Much better than carrying stuff on your back.
