USVersatile & 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. ☺️�
USLove it!!
Love this stem pouch. Very well made. Durable. Looks great on my bike. Very happy!
United StatesMostly Squirrel Proof
On the first night of a four day expedition my riding mates and I encountered one of the most persistent red squirrels I’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing. It greeted us by promptly squatting on a less fortunate fellow’s phone and lunged at him when he shooed it away. The following morning we awoke to the sound of it trying to free the roadsnacks that my trusty stem pouch was holding. A few gnawed holes are evidence of the red squirrel’s defeat as it sought entry into the veritable food fortress that is the Sidekick. Happy to report the pouch held strong and I was grateful to have snacks ready at hand for the remainder of the journey!
United StatesA great smaller water bottle pouch.
The thing to keep in mind is that there are two versions of the water bottle pouch by Swift. This is the smaller version and the one I would recommend for every day use. Some of the larger ones on the market do not work well with average size water bottles or say your insulated coffee mug. They get lost down inside of them and will rattle around. This is the perfect size for a standard water bottle. It’s of great quality, easy to attach, and the bottle slides out smoothly. I’ll take the larger one with me on bike packing trips, but for every day rides this is my go to.
