Integrated, see-through hood pocket
You have an iPhone, Blackberry, cell phone, a GPS? Where better to place it then right under your eyes. Just slide your favorite electronic buddy into the see-through pocket integrated into the hood so you keep a good eye on it. Access and retrieval cannot be easier. Slide the main zippers slightly opened and simply reach for it. You won't miss that important call to bring milk on the way home anymore !!

Front pocket
For quick and easy access to the smaller essentials. |

Integrated rain cover
The integrated rain cover wraps fully around the zippered hood and front pocket opening. The rain cover coupled with the inside padded liner ensures that your bag content will remain absolutely dry even in the worst downpour. Notice all the reflective stripes even when the rain cover is fully deployed.

|
Shoulder strap in cycling mode
The shoulder strap can be safely tucked away inside the front pocket while in cycling mode so you don't have to remove it and install it back every time.
|

Loop for a blinking light
The simplest things can be life saving. How about a loop to clip a flashing LED light? The loop is made of reflective band reinforced with a high grade nylon webbing. See and be seen !

Good, strong reflective zipper pulls
The YKK zippers are sporting their full die-cast nickel pull-tabs for the most secure grasp ever. The sliders are wrapped with 3M reflective cords on both sides, double row, and end with non-slip cord-caps. They won't rattle, and are easy to spot in the dark. And easy to grasp even with your winter gloves.

Lots and lots of Reflectors
Rain or shine, sleet or snow, night or day? We've put enough reflectors for you to be seen in any weather conditions. Reflectors are visible from all sides so you put all chances on your side.

Soft Padded Interior
Your electronics, glasses, camera, all will stay safe and sound inside the fully padded and super cushy main compartment.
|
|
|
Removable zippered Inner Lining
Unzipping the padded inner liner gives you access to the screws and nuts of the attachment clip-plates. Adjusting the system is nice and easy. And by the way, all the hardware is standard, with Allen head screws and 8mm hex nuts. Notice how we rounded all the edges of the inner frame.

|
Key Clip
Key clip is hanging from the top for quick, no-hassle retrieval.
|
|

Hanging pocket
Drop your spare change or wallet in the hanging pocket inside.

Stainless Steel Clip Plates
The stainless steel clip-plates on the bag are fully adjustable sideways. From one inch apart to a full four inches. Smooth, sleek and rock-solid for the best sway control ever.
|
|
|
Fold up Clip Plate Cover
A fold-up panel is held in place with a hidden Velcro when you're in riding mode.
|
|
|
Clip Plate Cover in Strolling Mode
The panel is actually a doubled layer of Cordura fabric that will cover the clip-plates, no matter what their adjustment for your bike is—wide or narrow. Folded down, the clip plates are invisible and the bag is soft like a baby skin on your side.

Swooping aluminum clamps
Our unique polished aluminum brackets are not only the strongest ever to be created, they are also incredibly smooth, to a point where they blend in with the bicycle itself. Sculpture in motion, yet they will never creep down! Each individual piece is polished and hard anodized to a sheen equal to the best bike parts. The structural flow of the clamps is both aerial and the strongest ever. Single bolt assembly makes for easy adjustments or removal when needed.
|
|
|
Clamps Adjustable Sideways
Since both clamps are individual pieces, and not one unit, they can be adjusted as close or as far away to the stem as needed, thus allowing the installation of bells, lights, or cycle-computers. Inclination and width are adjustable, just as the clamps will also work on bars from 22.2 mm to 31.8mm.
|
|
|
Aligning the plates and the clamps
Installing the bag on the handlebar is easy and intuitive. Just guide the clip-plates over the handlebar clamps.
|
|
|
Let the bag slide on the grooves!
There's no denying it, this system is buttery smooth. Once aligned the clips are riding the grooves like a dancer on the floor! No cheesy plastic or flimsy matching pieces.
|
|
|
Bag fully clipped in
The bag will finish its motion on its own, sliding in place by magic. Two stainless steel spring plates underneath will lightly click in place, letting you know that the motion is complete and that it's now time to ride !
|
|
|
Pressing on the springs to disengage the bag
Removing the bag is a charm; just lightly press in the spring plates and pull up gently. Voilà !
|
|
|
Close up of the springs
Pressing in the spring plates is no exercise in frustration. It is easy and smooth and you don 't have to worry about the bag falling down on the ground when you disengage them.
