At 4L this is just right for stashing anything you might need quickly - a waterproof, tools, phone, a neck tube, snacks. Or all those things at once. It's still small enough to be unobtrusive, though, and doesn't interfere with any hand positions on the bars.
Steve appreciates the Toploaders hardwearing fabrics and is reassured it is made in the UK with a 25 year guarantee, to be robust making it highly dependable for daily use. He also ackonowledges the attention to small details such as the practical zip
the big plastic T-handle on the draw cord is a welcome detail -it makes dragging it open and closed far easier, especially in gloves.
