Large Handlebar Bag
I have my bag mounted on the side of my Catrike Dumont. It’s suspended on a mount from Terra Cycle. In it I carry my phone with an extra power pack, a digital camera, extra camera batteries, snacks. In the clear flap I have the maps of the Loop Trail System in Tucson. This bag is of the highest quality.
I did a post about Arkel in my blog: https://trikesterhal.blogspot.com/2017/12/
As described it is waterproof.
We’re just about 2 weeks into a tour through Patagonia. It’s been a fairly wet tour so far and I was a little skeptical, but the main compartment of the handlebar bag is fully waterproof. While biking and leaving the bike out in a torrential downpour all night it has still kept the items inside dry. I now feel at ease with my camera, phone and candies 🙂
Cheers,
