It holds my cell phone, multi-tool, keys, wallet, folding knife tire repair kit and a flashlight. A smart purchase if you need to carry all that with you.

I’ve owned this bag for about 2 weeks. I used it to replace a handlebar bag. It’s a decent size for an under the seat bag. I am able to fit my wallet and phone and still have room for a couple treats or repair essentials. It’s not going to hold the kitchen sink, but it is out of the way while you’re riding.

This is a really nice seat bag. It’s large and can hold a lot of stuff. I put my wallet, keys, and cell phone in there. It also hooks to the bottom of the seat using straps with clips rather than velcro, which is much better than previous seat bags I’ve had.

Compared to the 6-dollar bags you get at discount stores, this bag
- is larger
- is of better quality
- ties well to the bike

Looking at the picture, it looked to me like this bag had compartments. It doesn’t have compartments; just one space. It can be expanded to make it even bigger, but still only one compartment.

It’s a nice bag. I bought it for my son’s bike. Because of its small size, it fits very well. It’s like a 5″X7″ photo size from the front and good for carrying wallet, cellphone and keys, etc. I was hoping it would fit a bottle of water but not quite; maybe one of those tiny 12oz bottle.

I really like this bag because it is on the small side and doesn’t affect your steering ability, even when it is fully loaded. It has some nice features such a a clear plastic cover on the top so you can put a map, phone, etc inside it for easy viewing. It also has a zipper pocket inside the bag for the items you don’t want to lose. It also has 2 velcro straps at the top which allow a lot of flexibility when trying to mount it around other devices on your handlebars, and one more strap at the bottom of the bag which allows you to secure it around the stem of your bars or around your bike frame. Good purchase for the money!

This is a simple and easy to use bag. When I first opened it I thought that it would be to small to be useful. However, it holds more than an initial impression would indicate. It attaches and disattaches easily to and fom the handlebar. The zipper and flap close securely thus keeping valuables dry and well secure! I’ve not used the detachable shoulder strap, but it appears to be long enough to be functional. I use this in conjuntion with a small under the seat carrier and between the two I have adequate capacity without bulk.

I searched this site for some dimensions before I bought it and all it specifies is 91 cu. inches…which is a bit hard to visualize. What do people manage to put in this? It’s about the size of a paperback book, so I guess you could do that, but forget about a wallet and a cellphone in addition. There’s a tiny pocket on the side that seems like it might hold a leatherman tool or hex-key set, but nothing else. I had hopes for a wallet, keys, cellphone and an e-reader. Back to the backpack, I guess. This thing is very barebones.

This is the best iPhone bike attachment out there. I like the fact that it attaches To the stem which is a much better location then on the handle bars which vary in thickness on road bikes. Very sturdy and protective although the clear plastic viewer is too reflective and needs to be removed which is an easy fix. Perfect for bike apps and navigation! Thanks

I had to redo my review of this product because I initially gave it such a high ranking and after using it 2 times, I felt that was well over deserved. I went for a long bike ride on a fairly straight inclined bike path. While riding my Iphone 4 went flying off my handlebar mount a total of 5 times. Unless you are riding slow and steady this device WILL NOT hold your phone, I repeat WILL NOT hold it. My only saving grace was that the cover the phone slides into saved my screen from shattering, however, the corners weren’t so lucky.

The main problem with this device is the “click in” mechanism. It works by placing your phone into a nylon case with a plastic front. The back then clips into the mount attached to your handlebars via screws. This clip, however, does NOT work at all. When you clip something in it should not release unless you un-clip it. This is not the case here. With a very simple pull at the phone you can take the thing right off. This means that if you are riding up

I’m very happy with the concept of this mount, it seems to be the only product on the market offering a stem-mount which makes it ideal for racing bikes.

My only objection would be regarding the pouch for the simple reason that it is not Iphone specific, but of a one-size fits all concept. It was basically made to hold any type of smartphone or music device, and therefore does not provide a perfect fit for the iphone. It’s especially noticeable on the screen area.

The pouch is made out of rather sturdy material, so it will have to adapt to the shape of the phone you put in it. I had it for two days now, and I’m keeping the phone in the pouch so it can mold to the shape of the iphone.

Oh yes, I have an Iphone 3, which has rounded edges, so makes it easier for the pouch to adapt to it. I guess that will be more difficult for the Iphone 4 which has square edges.

Works exactly as advertised. Very secure. There are plenty of free/cheap apps out there to make your iPhone into a bike computer. I went with this case because it has a cutout at the bottom if I decent to get one of the ANT+ dongles. I currently have this mounted on a road bike which I do a daily 30 mile round-trip commute. I’m using an iPhone 4.

I’ve ridden with this 3 times so far and due to various trail closers due to flooding here from the recent rains I’ve taken advantage of the map available right on the screen. I will be getting a second one for my mountain bike.

The only negative thing I can say about this is about it is the screen protector/plastic window. I have a pair of gloves (not biking gloves) that are iPhone compatible. However they do not work through the screen protector that is part of this case. I do already have a screen protector on the phone so it may be because of the 2 of them. I am probably going to cut out the plastic screen protector portion (at least

This bag is very roomy and mounts easily to my bike. Nice construction and seems very durable. I would recomend this bag to anyone.

Purchased this for recreational bike rides. It has excellent quality, great functionality and size. The outer mesh
pocket easily holds cell phone, glasses and small map. Above it is another pocket where I store a zip lock bag with
first aid supplies, also paper and pencil.The main compartment has an additional small zip pocket to store wallet cards or cash, the strap to convert this to a shoulder bag should you park the bike, and enough space for sandwiches, snacks,
hand sanitizer, kleenex and packable windbreaker or poncho. There are 3 straps to easily and securely attach the bag to
the bike. Would recommend this to any recreational bike rider.

P. Mangas

Really happy with size, access and mounting of this bag. Will serve well for holding wallet, cell phone, tools, etc. . . . as soon as the snow melts.

I got this bag to replace one that I had been using from another manufacturer. I really like the sleek shape of the Nathan bag. The main compartment has a zipper to secure things inside. There are also a couple of stretchy external panels for stuffing small items such as gel packets, used wrappers, etc.

My only real complaint is that the velcro tabs are only on the bottom, so it wants to slide around on my top tube. I fixed that by adding a velcro strip to the front. (If you put it on the headtube, it should be OK without any modifications).
