at Carolina Triathlon Bike Setup: Felt F65, Leader LD-730TT, Felt F90 Summary: Purchased this bag due to balance of features, price, and colors available, compared to others in the shop. There's a reflective loop across the back that can actually hold a clip on light. There's a great little zip closed pouch in the 300 deg zippered opening, great for carrying keys. The velcro straps on the sides provide an adjustability to snug the bag up tight to the seat, or relax if you are packing the bag tight.
I normally carry 2 16gr CO2 carts, two tubes, inflator head, 2 tire levers, cell phone (RAZR), debit card/cash, and either a single house key in the small pouch, or my full set wedged in.
I like the way it's volume is designed in height rather than width, so it "hides" behind the seat post for a modicum of aero benefit.
I'm extremely pleased with the bag overall, which is why I have one on both my bikes (road and tri frames), and my wife put one on her bike. Strengths: Semi-aero construction and positioning, plenty of room for just about anything I would need. The back completely unzips, allowing you free access to cram it full. Weaknesses: The sloping forward area cuts a bit of space that would make it possible to carry a multi tool also.
