Recumbent Seat Bag

Product Review (submitted on May 16, 2010):

This bag has been great for me. I have used it for almost a month now and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I commute on a Volae Sport and it fits the Volae Mesh seat almost perfectly. I work at a hospital and I can pack lunch, a pair of running shoes (I have been commuting on clipless), my scrubs, stethascope and a bottle of water. When I was in school last semester I could get a pair of flip flops, a one inch binder, a novel and some other small odds and ends in there. For the price I don't think anything comes close. for the daily commute or for a day ride this guy is perfect. I went on a 50 mile ride this past weekend and had 4 bottles in there, cell phone, keys, wallet, moutain pairs, tire patch kit, small pump, tubes, energy bars, and flip flops. The construction is solid and I am fairly rough on equipment. Pros: The bag is easy to get off and walk around with. Fits alot of mesh seats including Volae. Price point (got mine through my LBS and they gave the 15% off sale price + free shipping) it's Arkel Cons: size may be small for some if you load several books you can feel it in your back Slips on quickly but it is a little tricky. I have not tried the flag pole and I am not a big bladder fan. I did try the badder and the pocket seemed to work as decribed. Bottom Line: 9/10 Great product from Arkel
