I believe it will be perfect. My new carbon road bike has no way to mount a rear rack and I bike like a pilgrim in southern Iowa. No services for miles ie while route. This bag can carry whatever I need or leave empty to store a jacket as the weather heats up. I was able to stow a knee length puffer coat with room to spare. I can’t get out to tide til the weather warms up but I’m very impressed with my purchases.

It's winter here in Montreal so real testing will have to wait a couple of months. I was looking for a multi functional handle bar bag and this seems to be a good fit. It's a good size and can hold all my stuff for 100k day tours. I will also use it for extra storage for multi day trips where I will have easy access to food etc without having to open up my panniers. It will be really useful for local grocery runs. Plus it has the added advantage of looking smart on and off the bike. I am very happy with the purchase

I've had the bag for a few weeks as a daily bike commuter in SF. I love this bag. The sleeve for the laptop is safe and well-padded, and it's nice that it's easy to get to apart from the larger storage compartment. The large storage compartment is great. My office has a gym I go to after riding in, so I carry a lot of clothing items, food, and other items that all fit well. The additional internal pocket is great. The two external pockets are so convenient for quick access to keys, headphones, sunglasses, gloves, and more. The umbrella holder works great, as does the bottle holder. I have a travel coffee bottle that fits securely and stays in place. I haven't used the rain cover yet, but it looks nice. Without the rain cover, the bag has been waterproof against the misty San Francisco mornings. The attachment system is awesome, it's so easy to clip on and off your bike rack. The design for the transition from pannier to backpack makes the change super quick once you get used to it. I can't recommend this bag enough.

Additionally, this company cares about its customers. When I initially ordered the bag, they accidentally sent the 22L bag instead of the 30L. I contacted customer service, and Reid was quick to respond to my email and all further communications. Reid was friendly and apologetic and ensured a new back with a return label went out immediately. Mistakes happen, but the level of customer service in rectifying the issue quickly shows they stand behind their product and customers. Overall, the bag and the company get an A+ from me.

Very Well-made and organized

This is my 2nd time to purchase this bag. I bought one 2 years ago and absolutely live it. I use it in my front basket. Which I am able to Velcro it down through the basket. I've also used it on my back bike rack. It's a great bag. I've tried to use it on my front handle bar but it's too heavy when loaded, so it doesn't work well there.

This is the perfect bag for day trips for me, able to fit wallet, keys, book, and a snack. Spare tube and small tool kit, too.

Great backpack pannier for rainy weather!

Been using it about 2 weeks now. love the size and backpack convert(quick and easy), working really well for my daily commute.

Great size. Sturdy construction. Holds just what I need.

Quick shipment, well designed and constructed, and a good price! Highly recommended.

This bag is great for commuting and has plenty of space for your things. My favorite part is the clip for your key.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have looked far and wide for two years trying to find a way to fix my older panniers that I love and use weekly. This was the perfect replacement to the original. It was hard to find it, until I thought about Google lens search. And then narrowed down to the few suppliers who actually have this in stock and would ship to the US.

I’ve been using the Alpha 6L smart handlebar bag for a couple of weeks now while crisscrossing South Korea. I bought it for this trip using a slightly different setup.
The bag is very well made and I love the orange interior lining. No hunting for stuff in a dark black bag. The way the zipped compartment opens is nice to access the entire compartment. I just wish it was slightly larger. With the Joey battery system, only smaller cameras fit inside.
The other compartment with a roll top closure is also orange inside and holds a few things like sunglasses, wallet, sunscreen, etc.
totally waterproof in a downpour. Easy to hang from the handlebar with two voilé straps provided.
The biggest bonus was the Joey battery and charger which I connected to my dynamo hub and kept the phone charged up all day while navigating and taking photos.
Amazing value for such a well-made bag, compared to a lot of over-priced bags on the market. A definite recommend.

Material keeps the insides dry and makes it easy to wipe off grime. The zip almost seals it closed which I appreciate. Holds 2x tire levers, 1x inner, puncture repair kit and a portable toolkit set. It's the perfect size for me.

I bought my pannier/ backpack about 2 years ago, and absolutely love it. I commute 3 miles to work several times each week, year round. The bag holds exactly the right amount of stuff (phone/ wallet + laptop, notebook, cords, with some room for clothes), keeps everything dry, and the conversion process is easy and simple. I never write reviews for products, but love this bag so much I'm motivated to let the world know! Very well designed, and constructed.
