This is why I love great contributors on RUclips - excellent video that answers the exact question I find myself asking myself over my breakfast cup of tea. Clear, informative and to the point - thank you!
I own one similar to your green one and I like it. However, the smaller pocket is useless because once the main pocket is full, you can’t fit anything in the smaller pocket anyway they may as well get rid of this. Also, it is an absolute nightmare to open and close - particularly close - the main compartment and always requires two hands to do it. I use mine on a bike without internally routed cables and the cables do quite a good job of stopping the bag from slapping the frame! So I don’t have that problem. First, I thought it was silly to ride with a bag at the front of the bike like this, but I’ve gotten used to it and learn to really appreciate having the storage there.
I totally agree about the front pocket- when the main part is even slightly full, the smaller pocket is unusable. Overall I just love having space to carry stuff on my bike- as I get older, I find my arms struggle to reach my jersey pockets- plus it’s just nice to carry more ‘stuff’ to made the ride more fun. Thanks for watching my film!

Fantastic review
Thanks!
Very interesting mr still
Glad you think so!
My one's black!
The original bag is almost perfect. With the exception of the straps. How could Rapha make something so incredibly dumb is beyond me
That's a valid point. The overall sturdiness of the product has gone down since the original. Style over substance, maybe?
