ApiduraExpedition Top Tube Pack(Return to Product Page)

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.

Fits perfectly on my Canyon Endurace top tube and holds all of my nutrition (gels and drink mix). I no longer need to wear a small pack for that stuff and have noticed that I'm more comfortable over the long haul with nothing now on my back. Note, I added some grip tape to the bottom of the bag (where it sits on the top tube) so that it stays put even better.

The 1L version is comfortably large enough for food and a charger. The charging cable can be routed through a small gap in the front of the bag, or directly through the zipper (there's a small gap near the front for a cable to fit through). I found the bag sits too close to the stem of the bike to use the gap and routed my cable through the zipper instead.

The bag was waterproof enough to survive some pouring rain and the contents inside were only damp, but definitely more wet than they would be in a dry bag. The zipper is not sealed by any means so I wouldn't rely on it keeping rain out.

I'm glad I purchased this top tube pack. The large size holds a lot without getting in the way: my Galaxy S20 phone, CO2 inflator head and 2 cartridges, plastic tire levers, patch kit, and a spare tube. My knees rarely brush against it when I'm up out of the saddle. Seems to be truly waterproof too. The bright yellow interior helps when searching for stuff too.
