Perfectly Compact
With just under 100 miles in, here are first impressions of the Kestrel Handlebar Bag. I love its shape and compact size. The zippers can be opened to access contents while riding. It’s proven perfect for day rides, storing phone, glasses, several energy bars/gels, and even an extra top layer for breaks off the bike. When riding around town, I use it to store my u-lock. The materials and construction are top-notch, and I feel contents will remain dry when riding in rain.
