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.
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.
In Florida, with unexpected rain falling at any time of the day all summer long, with sunny skies giving way to sudden cloudburst then 10 minutes later sun shines bright, you need a bag that will keep you gear dry...You can't not ride just because there is a constant 20% of rain every summer day....i ride evryday, and have not used a car for 7 years and I must go out even if it might pour....My old bags failed me miserably one day when caught in a rain so I started researching for a true waterproof bag...hands down all around the world these German made bags are the ultimate purchase...this is was for my wife's bike and the smaller size was perfect for her bike frame...
