Really liking it
Simply a great bag with surprisingly large space inside, and enough pockets for all kinds of objects. Bought it for my gravel bike where I use it as a frame bag, but I was so pleased with it that I ordered another one for the commuter bike where I keep it at the handlebar. Works either way! Keeps the water out and has been carrying anything from mobile phone to arm warmers and bananas. Superb price to quality ratio.

Wonderful on-bicycle; Splendid off-bicycle
Honestly purchased this just for the very fact that it was removable and could be slung across the body for scenarios off the bicycle.
Product is able to fit pretty much all that is needed for the casual long-distance ride. Looks absolutely amazing too.
Minor issue since it's closed most of the time but some letters of the screenprinted(?) quote at the front pocket has sadly peeled off 2 months into product use.

Brilliant Quality
Purchased this as a gift for my partner, and planning to buy another for myself. The bag has a really high quality feel, and is in a class of its own aesthetically when compared to competitor products.
Only downside is the fit - brilliant on the bike, but when taken off and worn over the should (as intended/pictured on the website), it is not very comfortable. Suspect this may only be an issue for women though.

Don't leave home without it....
My Tardis little cycling bag lol.
I can fit all my cycling bits and bobs in here and more!!
Using under the top tube as the fit is just about right as it leaves the handlebar clutter free for the Wahoo and Exposure light.
Perfect size for all your cycling needs for a long day in the saddle. I can fit a small rain jacket, spare tubes and some extra nibbles. Handy zipped side pocket for money and mobile. Buy...

Just the Right Size
I got this and the Explore bag. I couldn't decide which to return so I just kept them both. It's a nice bag. It's a well made bag. I love the bright pink color inside...makes it easy to find stuff. 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. It's probably the material they use.

Rapha Logo is Wrong Color
The material and craftsmanship are excellent, and it is very waterproof. Got caught in a couple downpours and my phone always stays dry. The dark yellow is really a striking color, as well. My only complaint is that the Rapha logo on the front is white, not the black that it shows on the site. It still looks good, but it was a bit disappointing when I was expecting that simple yellow/black color way.

Dinky bag!
I’m reluctant to put bags of any kind on my bike but also find my jersey pockets weighed down on longer expeditions. However, this dinky bag sits nicely under the bars on my Canyon Ultimate, even with a Garmin light below the bars and looks good. Volumewise it is the equivalent of three stuffed back pockets so it serves either to double the volume you can carry or relieve your back pockets.

Great bag. Very versitile
This front bar bag is excellent quality and the zippers seem really tough. It will hold a surprising amount of stuff. In the front zippered pocket, I put keys, credit cards and energy bars. In the main pocket, I frequently stash an extra water bottle (Arizona heat) . Even with a bottle in it, there is room for a vest and arm warmers. Love this product, especially the relatively small size.

Perfectly fits a bag of coffee, 5 stars.
Great bag for stashing my jacket on overcast days, or rides to the cafe to pick up a back of coffee (fits 12 oz of whole beans nice and snug). I love the quick on/off of the bag, and use it as a cross body bag when stopping at the store. The body strap stows perfectly, and the attachment is easy yet secure. Also the hits of Rapha pink on the interior are a delight (I have the black bag).

our bar bags
This bar bag stays on our gravel bikes because it is a perfect place to carry our energy bars, some tools, a tripod for photo ops. It is useful and convenient size that doesn't weigh us down, is definitely waterproof, and lightweight. I use an out front position Wahoo GPS unit, so it's a little bit of a struggle to unzip the main compartment, but do-able. At a good price, too.

Eminently adaptable
The bar-bag has become more popular amongst riders who just need a little more space without carrying a rucksack. Made fashionable by the Audax riders, it has fast became a favourite for those who want to stuff in a light jacket/gilet or snacks, especially on that longer ride where you are out in the wilds.
The Rapha Bar Bag is eminently adaptable: compact enough for your handlebars, but can also be used under the cross bar. For Tours I have a large Bar bag on the handlebars, with the Rapha bar bag under the cross bar - it's not the slimmest bag, so not ideal, but you adapt. Expect some rubbing! When out on the Road bike, it sits on the handlebars. This is where it's happiest. 2 zipped compartments: one large with sub-compartments, one small with slots for lights, plus a carry strap.
The only down side is that's not waterproof or it would have got 5 stars although it will take a light shower, so be prepared.

Love it, mostly.
Perfect for gravel/road rides where you need a little extra space, and I think it looks super cool (olive). The compartments ++ are also really sensible.
I am not a super big fan of the straps thought. The closing mechanism is not my favorite (have to open, adjust, close) and should be an easier/more stylish way to tuck away the excess strap lengt /the straps are looong).

Great bag poor delivery
Great Bar Bag, poor delivery, Rapha; you need to stop using Hermies to deliver your products. They are rubbish at what they do and reflect on your customer service. The item had to be sent out twice.
The Bag is well made, and I can fit everything I need for a day's ride. CO2, pump, inner tube, multi-tool, gloves, phone and waterproof jacket and with room to spare.

It’s ok
It’s ok. The buckles are cheap. Mine failed after a couple days but Rapha sent me a voucher code. It’s a nice bag, it’s weather proof and it doubles as a Fanny pack and bar in addition to being a handlebar bag. You’re also able to carry a lot more than you’d think. I just wish the buckles were stronger and that you were able to remove them off the bag if you wish.

Perfect size, weight and waterproof as well
Brilliant bag, that carries just a bit more than the usual necessaries. Particularly useful on my morning commute for carrying food extras for the day. Zips are solid. Materials are tough and waterproof. Used on wet days and the bag positioned on the bar captures a fair bit of dirt spray from the front wheel. It is easy to clean, but do recommend darker colours.

Love the Orange color.
I had the Black one first time. It worked as expected. But for the money, the color just drowned itself into oblivion. The brick or the orange stood out well indicating RAPHA like how we wore the Rapha kit. It spells Rapha. My brand to wear. I got the orange and I just love it. I sold the black bag and did get some good money back too even after a months use.

Tidy well-designed bar bag. Spacious but small
A neat little bag for the days when you need a bit more than just the essentials. Great for storing extra layers during winter rides, or extra nutrition for long rides. Very easy to access while riding. It’s of very high quality, with attention to detail when it comes to design. It’s very easy to install. It looks surprisingly small given the volume it holds.

Awesome bag
Love this, been looking for a storage solution that doesn’t look like you are off on some kind of hipster adventure and having to eat nettles and caterpillars. Great bag to keep the essentials nice and safe and dry and allow you get everything you need when you need it, way enough to take off the bike without having a degree in mechanical engineering.

Most usable small barbag.
Nice bags, good quality and just the right size, for us, for a long day ride and, also for us, preferable to, and more usable than, the cylindrical type.
I fitted Klickfix mounts so we can interchange a) with our larger (other brand) bar bags and b) across all our bikes. This positions the bag 'out front' as opposed to underslung, but it works for us.

Simple and efficient design with this bag.
This handlebar bag is perfect for casual and/or more ambitious rides on my gravel bike. It fits my pump, snacks, and a few basic tools with room to spare. It secures really well to my bike. The flexibility of the straps allows me to keep them away from my bell. The quality appears to be strong. I look forward to using this bag for years to come.

Very handy
I love this bar bag for its lightweight design and also having plenty of pockets. This allows me to ride in a tshirt, which I find feels safer than a jersey, because vehicles tend to be more respectful for whatever reason. It has also become my go-to purse because of the option for the strap. My essential items just live in this bag now. It’s great.

Useful
I'm sure the bar bag will perform superbly for your next big adventure, but right now, I am just really happy that it is able to hold my toddler's diaper, nappy cream, a packet of wet wipes, and his baby face mask, in addition to my handphone and wallet, when we are out for some quality family time on two wheels.
Five out of five would recommend.

The perfect bag
The bag is exactly what I wanted, It fits perfectly, is just the right size and it has plenty of room for what I need. I love the color, I think it’s orange, but I think they said it was a variation of yellow? I have 2 friends who ordered one after they saw mine! Constructed well and looks to be very durable. I am very pleased. Thanks Rapha!

Highly recommend
Living in Vermont, it can be cold/cool in the morning and 30 degrees warmer a few hours later. Having this bag to stow gloves, base layer, hat is fantastic. It can also carry a face mask, sun screen, etc. It has multiple positions for the bike, you can easily put it on/take it off. It’s extremely well made, and I highly recommend this bag.

A perfect sized handlebar bag!
I've seen quite a few handlebar bags that are either too big and clunky or too small. This bag, however is just right, looks balanced on the drop bars and spacious enough for food, jacket and glasses. Its robust and made to a high quality standard. It is also reasonably priced when comparing the options too! I thoroughly recommend this bag!

Tommy Two-Flats
I bought this bar bag because my friends called me Tommy Two-Flats and I needed something big enough to hold three spare tubes. Now I'm Tommy Tubeless and flats aren't an issue anymore. If you're looking for a low profile waterproof bag with lots of space for food and tools this one is for you. It also fits six tubes, for anyone wondering.

The perfect accessory for your gravel adventure !
The Rapha front bar bag is the prefect size and shape for your gravel bike adventures. The extra front pocket ideal for smaller easerly accessed items like glasses, map or pen. It stays dry even in wettest conditions. Enough room for snacks, coat, first aid items. Easy to fit around cables and the snap on straps don't fall off or loosen.

Solid Bar Bag
Great bag. Plenty of space for snacks, mini hand pump, iPhone 12, men's wallet, lightweight shell compressed into stuff sack, etc. Perfect for those long days in the saddle when you need a lot of "stuff." Easy to mount and stays in place quite well. Haven't used the shoulder sling yet, but appears to be functional for intended use.

Perfect Bar Bag
Typical of Rapha products, this item is well designed, has very good build quality and shows attention to detail. On the bars it holds its shape and both pockets are very easy to open to get to what ever items you needs. I use the bag on both drop and flat bars and in both applications it works equally well. Highly recommend.

So useful, who knew!
This bar bag has proved to be an excellent addition for being out on the bike. It holds a lotta stuff & takes the pressure of my jersey pockets. It’s well made and so far there have been no issues. It’s also easy to unclip from the bike and the shoulder strap has been surprisingly useful when I want to explore away from the bike.
