Great bar bag
Cool, versatile and well made bar bag/hip pack. Feels quality, all the connectors are solid, straightforward and well designed. It fits well on both my bikes (flat aero carbon bars and traditional round ones). I've only briefly ridden with it as a hip pack and had no complaints, though tucking away the straps takes a minute.
Haven't used it in the rain yet so can't comment on that but would recommend as a bar bag for most conditions.

A versatile little bag
This a versatile bag as it can be used as a handlebar / seatpost or shoulder bag. Proven to be waterproof in some dreadful weather, whilst keeping my valuables (Scoobie snacks) dry. It holds my waterproof jacket, folding lock & a musette.
As a seat post bag, I have not found it to interfere with my riding.
As a handlebar bag, it has an attachment for your light. Taking it off is as simple as a few clicks.
Recommended.

Nic bag, terrible zipper
Really nice bar bag, it has slots in back to put small items, fits a ton of clothing and is water resistant, Velcro buckles make it easy to out ina me off the bike.
The only thing I don’t like is the zipper, it’s a cery coarse/chunky zipper that pulls very rough and catches since you have to pull the zipper at an angle due to the flap that covers it. Had there been a better quality zipper this would not be an issue

Useful size, great colour
Love the colour, matches my bike completely! Just the right size for a long day ride, plenty of room for sandwiches and a small waterproof. Zips look robust.
Negatives: Not watertight so bag all vulnerable contents, bar attachment (velcro) not nearly as good as my previous "Nomad" design (clips), headset must be protected against rubbing.

Works fine, but can be easily improved
The attachment blocks the handlebar and I would like to see some kind of distance pads. However, as I can use it on the small front rack it works well if I turn the backside to the front, making use the small front strap to attach to the front racks upsweep part. Would have been even nicer to have a similar strap on the back side as well.

Versatile bit of bike/everyday carry luggage.
Versatile bit of bike luggage. Big enough to carry the daily essentials but not so big that it's not easy to wear and carry off bike. The elastic straps inside elevate it from other simpler offerings. It would be great if you could remove the waist strap but it does at least tuck away when on the bike. A great bit of kit.

Good stuff!
Works well. Love the design and color choices. The straps hold it in place super tight and overall it feels very well built. I understand some of the comments about the zipper being a tad difficult to function under the flap... but for me it has not been an issue, maybe if you were attempting to open it while riding?

Disappointing
Takes a couple of minutes to fit/remove. Strap fiddly to install, strap can’t be removed so has to be tucked away behind rear facing. Main compartment can be partly zipped with one hand. Don’t think a cyclist designed this. Well made and lightweight (to the point of flimsy). Holds a compact pump and essentials.

Neat
Neat little bag. I bought for a good price in the sale and the colour is a perfect match for my bike. I have managed to cram quite a lot in, waterproof jacket, spare tube, hand warmers, spare gloves, small lock, and a few other little bits and bobs. Not tested in the rain yet, hoping the contents will stay dry…

Will but it again.
A fantastic bag I’d bought for my girlfriend’s gravel bike . Unfortunately… stolen . My bag was stolen as well. Apparently thieves have great taste !
We have re ordered my bar bag and will soon re order this for her . She loved it . Roomy enough for tube , snacks , light jacket … etc .
Great products!

Plenty of room, Fits great, easy on/off and adjust
Works great. Easy to get on and off (although good luck getting me to take off). The purple color is awesome. Plenty of room, more than I’d think you could fit. I don’t know about water resistance or longevity, but so far so good. A few centuries under my belt and I don’t want to leave home without it.

review
Very thin front compartment, it is almost impossible to put inside something resp. only very thin and small stuff. Main pocket miss some kind of strap, i.e. for securing of key ring. Next I miss some (rubber) strap on outside for quick attaching. The outside mesh pocket would also be handy to have...

Rescue bag for those easily getting cold
Am always wondering if I will get cold during the ride, so love that I can now place extra layers in this smart bag. Cut off the elastic band intended for wearing it as a bag. It was just annoying when biking. Could maybe get a zipper that is easier to open quickly even when on the bike.

Perfect Size
Perfect size well thought bar bag with great straps. I double it up as my flat repair kit. Elastic bands inside the bag are perfectly spaced out to hold a rolled up spare tube tire levers CO2 canister and a multitool. I bought 2 more bags as christmas gifts to my friends.

Great bag, very versatile!
I love Rapha bags due to their high quality. This is a great bag with multiple straps that allow it to be used as a handlebar bag, cross body bag, or even a hip pack, which I love. The vibrant colors are awesome. These make a great give for any of your cycling friends!

Nice Bag
It's a nice bag. A little too big since I always try to ride light, but this is top quality. My only gripe is that it gets dirty faster than my other bags and it seems like dirt clings on it. Dirt and smudges are not as easy to wipe off in comparison to my other bags.

Nice, comfortable and versatile
The explore bar bag its super nice, comfortable and versatile. The colorways are joyful and the color I got (orange) its exactly like in the pictures. The only thing I would add to this bag is a space/holder for a bottle of water. Still, would definitely recommend (:

Not brilliant on the bars, use as a bag
Since buying a gravel bike recently, I went on the hunt for a good bar bag but feel Rapha need to stick with the clothing side of things. This isn't great and with trying many options to make a good fit, it just didn't so it's now sat in a box.

Perfect
Most importantly this bag matches my bike perfectly. ;) It hangs a little lower than I would like when I have a little weight in it, but that doesn’t interfere with the performance. I have not tested it in rain yet! Super happy with this bag!

Definitely buy this amazing bag!
LOVE This bag! It's really good quality and the mustard color is nice and dark. It's so nice to have this on the front of my bike with an extra water bottle and food and keys so I don't have to wear a backpack. Would definitely recommend

Sticky zipper
Quality materials and build. Main body zipper is very sticky at the corners where it bends down so it can’t easily be fully opened/closed with one hand. Will be a good size once I go tubeless and don’t have to stick a spare in there.

Explore Bar bag
I like the bag. There were some comments that the zippers were a problem but I find mine great and just the right size to fit on my drops it also holds lots of my essentials plus thin rain jacket. Nice rainproof material also.

Useful and durable
Excellent for gravel and longer rides. Holds loads and great round your waist during coffee stops and post- ride. The zip is well covered presumably for waterproofing but it makes access a little tricky hence my 4 star rating

A Miss for Rapha
The zippers are difficult to open/close and it's missing the Rapha fine touches like messages or alternating colors in the inside of the bag. Fortunately, I was able to buy it on sale and I likely won't use it on the bike.

Not bad, not great
It’s OK. Showerproof but the elastic which is supposed to hold the bag against the head tube snapped on first use. This causes the bag to bounce around and the contents to rattle or bang about: this is incredibly annoying.

Small Bag Big Value
This bag is excellent, very easy to use and surprisingly roomy for the size. Easy to open and close while riding, and stays on securely without being a burden to then take off the bike. Glad to have purchased this.

Better than expected.
Super good quiality, better tha expected. Also to have in mind it does have a lot of space. You can carry a spare tube, some CO2 tanks, a multitool, some food and a light jacket. It has an option for a hip strap.

Great handlebar bag
Loving the bright peach colour and it's small size. I have my bag filled with the bare essentials: waterproof jacket, multi tool and snacks. Also great off the bike as a fanny pack. Very happy with my purchase
