Very well designed bike bag. I have it on a Cannondale Quick. It's somewhat stiff, so it holds it's shape very well and doesn't take on the wrinkled appearance of some of the bags with thinner material. The stiffness also reduces the tendency to flop around to almost zero, which I greatly appreciate. I don't like loose or rattly components on my bikes. The straps can be tightened down quite a bit, and they don't come loose. The straps come a little long, but I just cut them down flush after I had them as tight as I wanted so there were no loose ends.
I never tested the waterproofing claim by spraying it with a hose, but on my rides during rainy days, the interior stayed dry, so it's at least water resistant. None of the seams or zipper appears to leak, even after a couple of years of use.
It's a single pocket design, but one of the nicest features is that the zipper opens up the entire side of the bag. I have other bags where the zipper only opens along the top, and you need to reach inside and dig around to find what you're looking. This bag you're able to easily see what you're looking for.
Two things I found could be improved upon. The zippers appear to be normal YKK zippers with the metal pull tab along with a small cord attached to it. I find that sometimes when my knee swipes against the side of the bag while peddling, I hear a little "clink" as the two metal pieces shift against each other. Other bags have just the metal zipper, and then a corded pull tab which eliminates that metal against metal sound. It's not loud, but can be heard every once in a while.
The other thing that can be improved is that the mounting straps cannot be moved to other locations. The straps are sewn where they are, which limits the location you can mount the bag on your bike to really only one spot.
All in all though, it's a great bag. Perfect for storing little things while riding, a multi-tool, keys, wallet, tire levers and such. It gets all the major things right and looks pretty sleek while doing so.
