The saddle bag is exactly the way I wanted. Very useful indeed

I had recently purchased and immediately used the item for a 12-days' bike packing trip. It is a rigid, sturdy and easy to use saddle bag. It's inner waterproof bag is also very reliable with its air release valve which can compress and pack a lot of things into it. Just ensure there are no sharp objects in it that can pierce the bag! It is also easy to install and disassemble. Though fully loaded, it does not disturb the balancing of the bike. One can also add a bit of other stuff on top of the saddle bag using the bungy chord (loop) built-in and it is still very sturdy. Packing needs a bit of thought as to ones needs and access to items during or after the day's ride.

I used this saddle bag to pack clothes and accessories for a 2 night stay on a trip from Bangalore to Mysore over 125 kms riding distance. The inner bag with the air release feature is the key to the ability to pack a lot of items and then compress it into a smaller size so that the overall length of the whole bag remains smaller than it would have been without the air release feature. Packing requires a bit of thought. The clasps of the bag are robust as is the outer shell. The bag does sway a bit but not too much to disturb the ride quality of my road bike. I also used a bungee cord to further secure the bag to the seat post since I did not want to take any chances of the bag touching the rear tire, as you can see in the picture. While climbing uphill when I am off saddle, you can feel the saddle bag but otherwise it does not affect the overall cycling ride. Also I must add that the additional weight of 3 kgs due to my contents inside the bag did not in any way affect the speed of my bike, due to the aerodynamics induced by the saddle bag (you can see a youtube video of a windtunnel test on the GCN channel for proof of this). The bag is fairly easy to put on (though the first time it felt a bit clumsy especially the clasps that go under the seat but the second time onwards I was able to do it easily) and also easy to remove. I am reducing one star from the 5 star rating as I needed to secure it more firmly with the bungee cord.
