Hi, I've got other bags for actual bikepacking, usually a wild cat harness and dry bag on the front with my tent and sleep gear.

I just got this for audax style days, but It might fit my down jacket in or 2 season bag in, but not tried. If I was credit card touring it would work well for easy to get to stuff.

I've looked at more regular touring bar bags but this seemed to fit the bill for what I wanted with size and velcro attachment.

Thanks for this... I've just stuffed the sleeping bag in the Revelate bar bag and will see if I can get it to squeeze :smile:

...with a rather fetching T-shirt. Just got to find an appropriate puddle now.

Bonus: voucher enclosed: "we have identified your order as one that did not meet our high standards of dispatch time, by way of apology please find a £10 voucher". Well that's very impressive. TBH if it had turned up in June I'd have been happy since there won't be any sunshine until then. So what to spend the voucher on? Same again of course!

:grin: Well that would certainly be a conversation starter/stopper in the pub :smile: .

I must admit I didn't explore further, did you hand craft that one yourself presumably?

Just had a look at their website and couldn't see a way to buy them, did you go through one of their dealers? Also couldn't find any of those :???:

They were very helpful, initial contact took a while but once they had responded to the enquiry it was pretty good.

Yes, it’s dead easy to knock something using text.

Landed yesterday from Andy at BackcountyScot and fitted today. Some may frown at panniers but I thought I'd give them a go instead of using the seatpack. My thinking is easy to access stuff and yes, I know if you pack a seatpack right there's no faff. The last time I used panniers was Sutherland in 2014. Will be interesting to see if I get on with them...

...finally, with a pair of Deore 2x10 shifters to replace the ones on my Longitude which have indicators, with these that don't, so I can move them further inboard on my loop bars.

Posted second class last Monday. Just glad they weren't lost, and hope other things I'm waiting for are just delayed too.

"You are very special Sean". There you go :-bd .

Call me an old cynic (wot, me?) but as soon as I saw my voucher I thought "that's a clever marketing ruse. I bet it will make me buy another shirt from them". :grin:
