I build bikes as a hobby and have used these bags on apx 6 bikes and covered 1,000s of miles with them. However, the bag i just installed on a new build could not be installed securely. It fell from the handlebar apx 1 mile into its first ride and wound up swinging by the loose tethering stap. To finish the ride i had to improvise with a discarded zip tie i found on a construction cite. When i got back i installed bigger zip ties which show on the attached photos. The original straps are too short to accommodate a thicker carbon handle bar. Please redesign your straps. They are good bags other than this fault.

I really like this bag. It's well-made, sturdy and good quality. The size is nice for my purposes.

I have two other Bushwhacker bike bags which I really like; one seat bag and a large frame bag. Both well designed and strong material, zippers and attaching devices, both reasonably priced. I returned the handlebar bag because I got the frame bag instead.

The Bushwhacker Bag attaches to the handlebar very securely. Plenty of room for whatever goodies you want to take. We carry an assortment of energy bars and anything that we need to take with us. Even good for a rain poncho or whatever we want to take. One thing that stands out with Bushwhacker is their quality. These are well made to last a lifetime on your bicycle and they definitely will. We have several bikes and some of the Bushwhacker bags are 5 years old and still work fine. Zippers are good..Straps are good. Highly recommend.

Wow...while researching for a handlebar bag to fit my new road bike I thought this bag would be perfect...but didn't hold out much hope and figured if I didn't like it...I wouldn't be out much money and could use it on one of my other family member bikes. But when it arrived, I noticed how good it looked and how well it was constructed. Then once I attached it to my new Fuji Altamira I was astonished at how well it matched and suited the bike geometry and design. This will extend my load capacity (which I'm trying to limit since weight was the ultimate reason for purchasing a full carbon bike)...so I can't wait to try it out this weekend. My saddle bag...Avenir Bigmouth... has a fairly large capacity for a saddle bag, but I was concerned about certain items and bag being damaged by me filling it to capacity. So the extra Handlebar bag will hopefully allow me to redistribute the load and not overfill any given bag. Not to mention the handlebar bag will be nice for easy access to energy bars/snacks and my phone. I've been keeping my phone in my jersy back pouch, which is handy...but destroys the look and fit of the jersy. :-)

The Bushwhackeer Durango Handlebar Bag is a choice I do not regret in the least. I was looking for an inexpensive handlebar bag, that would look good, good build quality, that was the right size, and could carry the things I need to get to while riding, or when I'm taking a short stop, legs still over the top tube. I carry my cell phone, sunscreen, inhaler, wallet a couple of energy bars, a small point & shoot camera plus other small things I may need on a particular ride. My bigger items- bike pump, rain jacket, tools etc. go into the larger rear rack bag. I am very pleased with this bag and would not change a thing if I had to do it over again. If it were stolen, I would get the same bag again - high quality, great use of space, and most of all makes my rides that much more enjoyable.

It seems a bit slightly on the pricey side (not too bad though) however the quality of this accessory is there.Excellent stitching really superb quality.The zippers are of very good quality to me.It can hold quite a bit of stuff (bike tools,extra inner tubes or whatever you want to carry that will fit in the specified dimensions).The inside flexible plastic liner on the main part of the larger case could other than for giving this rigidity also help in keeping items inside drier, though in a rain storm I would still recommend to place a rain cover over it (I use a spare unzippered hood from a jacket that I am not using).I am not a product tester so I haven't attempted to see how rain resistant or waterproof this product is.There are two Velcro covered straps with buckles that go around your handlebars and in addition there is another plastic ringed strap on the bottom of the bag with a small short length clipped bungie cord on it I think meant to secure so the case doesn't wobble while riding.That's a nice added feature.This other bottom strap could help prevent an accident should one of the upper straps break (carrying too much weight etc or getting weak with wear over time).Use your own judgement as to what you can carry in this as too much weight could cause problems.It might be able to safely hold 10 pounds of stuff however 5 pounds would be safer and I'd feel more comfortable with 5 pounds carried inside of this case.The less weight you carry in this bag the longer this will last.Carry heavier items in a trunk bag on a bike rack.Originally I purchased this to hold my new 24 Volt 10 Ampere Hour Lithium Ion Battery from Ping Battery with my controller and power switch for my electric assist motorized bicycle as my crude heavier shorter lifetime Clean Republic SLA battery pack died recently.It fit in this handlebar bag quite adequately.It was a good match really.The front extra smaller case comes in handy for other smaller accessories though it doesn't have a plastic liner to give rigidity or the additional rain protection.I would say that this is a good buy and a worthwhile product.Delivery was quicker than expected too.
