I bought this bag a few months ago and it�s been pretty handy! I got neon orange because it�s my favorite color, and also to give me more visibility when I�m on the road. It may not have been the best choice because it�s gotten some stains on it, although I haven�t really tried washing it yet. The woven texture also collects a lot of dog hairs. But the bag is sturdy, comfy, and a great size. The straps fit me but needed to be secured with safety pins so that they didn�t slip out of adjustment.
This seems to be only the qualities you need - protection - and almost none of the typical downsides of slimy, overly perfumed and noticeable. It's changed my habits on using sunscreen for the better. If I thought I could get away without burning, I wouldn't use the other stuff, or I'd shift my rides from the center of the day to reduce exposure. Zealios Sun Barrier has lowered my objections so that I'm finding myself using it on a regular basis and am willing to take those mid-day rides. Just be sure not to miss a spot. I burned and peeled in a 1 cm^2 area on my face that I missed. The rest of me was well protected. I am a believer and now a repeat customer.
a few days after i received this bag .there was a down pour of rain in balto. area 3" in 1 hr. so I thought I would put the bag to waterproof test. set bag out in driveway for duration of storm about 1 1/2 hrs. at the end of storm inside of bag was completely DRY. well worth the money Ortlieb was great products also have 3L seat bag that I used for ride across America it to was put to the test and PASSED each time.
