XLAB X-Large Rocket Pocket Bag

Solid bag i use on my ultra rig. I live in Texas where it gets blazing hot, yet my gels and products don't slow bake in this bag. Adheres to frame well and isn't aero neutral as it sits behind my stem. Easy to zip and unzip on the fly. Holds endurolytes/ibuprofen/caffeine pill bag + 6-7 gels + pro-bar. That's a LOT of capacity. Use it daily on rides and it's held up well.

Update 6/6/19 - Used the bag for Dirty Kanza 200 and worked great. Stayed in place with no issue over very rough course. Zero hesitation in recommending this bag.Not to big, not to small - just the right size for me. I looked a long time before finally deciding on this top tube bag. Bag holds what I'm expecting. Packed it with 7 gels and 4 fig bars for my ride (probably could have placed another gel or 2). Bag stayed in place with zero movement for my first ride with the bag that was 150 miles of gravel and paved roads. Straps where plenty long for my bike - you just want to trim them down so there is no excess. Zipper worked one hand operation with ease. My iPhone 7 fits if needed or a portable battery charger for your bike computer if needed for really long rides.

I found it wasn't big enough for my iphone xr... but that's ok, I have another mount for that anyway and would only use it as a backup if it was raining, etc. Otherwise, I like it! I found I can put a small spray sunscreen bottle, my base salts, some small snacks, etc. and have access to it all quickly as needed (especially the base salts, which I do every 10 miles or so on long rides and nice to not have to stop or fumble in my back pockets for it!). I had no problem unzipping/zipping while moving and it stayed in place! I did find the velcro to be a bit too long and like others (and the instructions recommended), cut it to the appropriate size prior to mounting.

I'd say you could jam 10 gels in this bag. It's not a good bag for a phone that's bigger than maybe an iPhone 5S because the curved shape prohibits zipping it closed. I make my own portable foods from the Feed Zone Cookbook and I can only get in 2 wrapped pieces (3x4x1 each) side by side plus 2 or 3 gels because the bag is very slim, not much wider than the top tube on most bikes. The zipper works great and is super easy to open and close on the move, but if you forget to zip it back up you might lose some stuff when you hit a bump. The straps are longer than just about anybody would need so trimming them back will probably be necessary, but they do hold the bag securely without a lot of side to side droop. All in all it's a great little bag that won't cause any aero drag and won't get in the way of your knees.

I am a cyclist who rides about 80 miles per weekend and I compete in Sprint and Half-Ironman distance triathlons. So I spend a good amount of time on the bike.This bag is easily the best I've ever had on my bike, and I can't recommend it more enthusiastically.There's nothing bad about it.Here's what's good:It's big: I can fit an Otter Box-encased iPhone in there along with about 4 or 5 gels and 2 Clif Shot Block packages, no sweat. I could probably stuff even more into it. If I were racing, I wouldn't have the phone in there, so I could very easily fit another 4 gels and another Shot Block. It's capacity for holding nutrition is amazing.It holds in place: Easy to install, and the velcro grips the bike tight. I've had problems with other bento boxes slipping all over. Not this one.Great zipper: easy to find, up, down, fast. No double zippers or unzipping and rezipping laterally.It's aero: Low profile ensures that it really is aero. Slips right behind the cockpit. No drag.One of my favorite accessories on my bike. Buy with confidence.

Very clever product. Since my road bike seat case has tubes and tire change stuff, it has no room for other things. That's where this comes in. It fits my iPhone (with Life Proof case), ID, keys, credit card easily. I hate putting this stuff in the back of my cycling shirt, so this was perfect. It doesn't look bad on the bike either, and I'm well aware of the sentiment. Bought one for my wife too so I don't have to carry her things!. Really glad I bought these.

Below is my review of the smaller Rocket Pocket bag. This bag is on the same style bike. This one is slightly larger and can hold another bar in addition to the below list or several more gels. It will technically close with a lifeproof cased phone inside but it is tight and takes up all the usable space.Review of the smaller bag:One of the best accessories I have. It is on a 2014 Cannondale CAAD10 and fits perfect and secure. It isn't made to carry all of your camping supplies so don't get mad when it doesn't fit your iPad, wallet, and a loaf of bread. There's a small pocket on the inside left that I put my ID, debit card, money, house or car key, etc in. Otherwise I carry some sort of bar(Clif, Bonk Breaker, Powerbar), a pouch of chews, and a gel. I have a saddle bag for emergency maintenance items and for 70+ mile rides I'll add another bar and more gels to my jersey. It WILL NOT close with an iPhone 5 in a lifeproof case but that's not any kind of deal breaker for me.

Big enough to hold my Mio Fit and a portable phone charger. The velcro was too long but that's better than being too short and was easy enough to fix with a pair of scissors. The velcro is also very strong. It's not big enough for my phone which is 5.5 inches. It's a keeper because it offloads stuff from my jersey pockets and it's "streamlined" shape.

Pochette facile à fixer et stable sur le tube horizontal. Elle semble assez robuste, le zip est facile à manipuler en roulant. Il ne faut pas hésiter à couper à longueur appropriée les velcros (vu la longueur initiale c'est fait pour répondre à toutes les tailles de tubes).C'est quand même vite plein (fait plus taille moyenne que XL pour moi). Il existe une taille XL Plus sans doute le top si vous avez un peu de bazar à emporter.

Lässt sich gut befestigen, leicht zu öffnen
