I was using a pair of these in a swift anchor hop bag but have since attached them to a basket, they hold a third water bottle as well as bug spray and sun screen. Really well made bags. As always.

It holds non bike bottles on my bike
Yet another home run from Swift. Super well designed/built and versatile bag. I use one on my basket bike to carry an insulated non-bike bottle. And also on my hip pack for mountain biking for an extra bottle on long rides. Does its job well and seems like it will last forever.

Simple, great bag
I added this to my Velo Orange Pass Hunter recently. It has done a great job of making the bike more versatile - I can hold an extra bottle for long rides, or use it to hold those odd sized drinks that don't fit in a normal bottle cage, like plastic water bottles, travel coffee mugs and so on. It's also handy for storing my keys, wallet and phone or extra snacks if I need that. Overall a great little bag that cheaply adds a lot more practicality to basically any ride.

Great
Love this bag so much that I decided to purchase another, with a Kestrel. I have both of these attached with the molle system....the combination of bags work perfectly on the front of my Sam Hillborne. It's also worth noting that these can be opened/closed with one hand. Super convenient when trying to access things while riding.

Versatile & Handy
This is another winner. Check my review on the Bandito bag.
I really love the quality of the bag with how this attaches to the bike. I like that it’s versatile, giving you a number of ways to mount to the bicycle. My favorite feature is the ability to open and close the drawstring with one hand. I like to keep my cell phone and keys in this pouch while riding.
I was so pleased with this bag, and the Bandito, that I decided to order two more bags from Swift. Planning to mount the Kestrel and two sidekicks on the front of the bike. ☺️
