I had no clue what a saddlebag was when I first started cycling. It\u2019s simply a small (or large) bag that attaches to your bike&#8217;s saddle or seat post. Saddlebags can carry tools, tubes, snacks, or other necessities, depending on their size, shape, and cycling needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of saddlebags: smaller, everyday bags and larger bike-packing bags. The bikepacking bags live in the tote when not in use, but I always keep a small saddlebag attached to my bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best saddlebags will help you be prepared for flat tires, mechanical issues, or even minor accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>How I Evaluated These Saddlebags for Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things that I looked for in a good saddlebag. Here are the points that are important to me. But, of course, you\u2019ll need to figure out what is most important to you, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Size<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Size matters when it comes to saddlebags because you want to be able to fit everything you need for your trip. But, on the other hand, you don\u2019t want your bag to be too big. If the bag isn\u2019t packed tightly, your tools could bang around inside, making annoying noises. They could rub holes into your tube or set off your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genuineinnovations.com\/blogs\/learn-about-our-tech\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-co2-inflation-for-bike-tires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CO2 cartridges<\/a> if they aren\u2019t packed properly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aerodynamics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good saddlebag will also be aerodynamic. Saddlebags should fit up snugly under your seat. Larger bags are longer rather than wider, so they don\u2019t create extra aerodynamic drag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weatherproofing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably don\u2019t want the items in your bag to get soaked if you get caught in the rain, so you may want to consider a saddlebag with some kind of weatherproofing. They can be water-resistant, waterproof, or incorporate a dry bag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Attachment Method<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> This is one of the most critical aspects of your saddlebag. Most saddlebags attach with a Velcro strap or several. Some may attach with mounts, clips, or even some other means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like a bag with a single, wide piece of hook and loop tape to pull hard enough to attach it to the rails of my seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that the bag attaches snugly under your seat and fits tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, the straps can wiggle loose, and you could lose your bag. You want to ensure the bag sits far enough behind you that it doesn\u2019t bang against the backs of your legs as you pedal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weight<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most saddlebags are pretty lightweight, but if you\u2019re going to be doing a lot of hill climbs, you might want the smallest and lightest pack possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hooks, Straps, or Clips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Some saddlebags for cycling will have external hooks and clips. The bigger the bag, the more straps it will have. For example, you may find a clip for your mug or bungee straps to hold your extra shoes if you use a bike-packing saddlebag. On the other hand, if you\u2019re just using a smaller daily pack, you may find a small loop on the back to hold your rear light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Matching Sets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the best bike saddlebags are part of matching sets or at least can be accessorized with other bags. For example, you may find coordinating frame bags, handlebar bags, and top tube bags to go with your saddlebag. This isn\u2019t a primary consideration of mine, but if you like to coordinate, it might be for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Color<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> My saddlebags are black, but many are available in innovative designs and bright colors. You can coordinate packs with your jersey, bike, or other bags. Express yourself, make a statement, or just simply carry your stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> We always said you get what you pay for, but that isn\u2019t always the case with saddlebags. You might find that a lesser expensive bike bag serves your needs better than a high-end bag. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that, as long as it meets all your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bike Saddle Bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">Best for Mountain Bikes and Minimalists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">1.&nbsp;<strong>SpeedSleev Ranger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"872\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image1-8-872x1024.jpg\" alt=\"image1 8\" class=\"wp-image-10579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image1-8-872x1024.jpg 872w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image1-8-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image1-8-768x902.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image1-8.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The wide strap makes this bag fit securely to your seat rails. <em>Amazon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-layout-2 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#9f9f9f;border-style:dashed;border-width:1px;border-radius:100px;padding-top:3px;padding-right:3px;padding-bottom:3px;padding-left:3px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Our Rating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1\">9.5 \/10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-layout-2 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1\"><strong>$30<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KEY SPECS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Color<\/td><td>Black<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Size<\/td><td>Large<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material<\/td><td>Waterproof Nylon<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td>1.76 ounces<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Protection<\/td><td>Interior Pockets to hold CO2, tubes, and tools without damage or noise<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Available Sizes<\/td><td>Small, medium, and large<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Style<\/td><td>Some sizes are available in colors.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Handlebar bags<\/td><td>Coordinating <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Small, minimalist design fits almost any bike, even dropper posts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reasonably priced<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Includes interior pockets to protect items<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waterproof<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Won\u2019t hold a lot of extra stuff<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colors are limited, but there are a few<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TfJiNd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">SpeedSleev<\/a> is a popular brand of bike saddlebags, at least among my cycling friends. I see this bag often on the road (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/mountain-bike-gear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">off-road<\/a>, too, since it works so well with dropper posts). Seeing several cyclists on a ride with the same bag isn&#8217;t unusual! It\u2019s popular because it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ranger is designed to attach to your saddle rails, so it works great for bikes with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/what-is-a-dropper-post\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropper post<\/a> or any road or gravel bike. It features a wide hook and loop strap, which feeds through your rails and around the bag. The bag hugs your saddle tightly and won\u2019t bounce around. It adjusts easily to fit a variety of saddle shapes and sizes, so you don\u2019t have to worry about how well it fit your bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speedsleev is available in multiple sizes, so you can pick the one you need, and they are all roughly the same price point. The minimalist design fits tightly under the saddle, making it aerodynamic and snug. But it doesn\u2019t hold a lot, so if you\u2019re someone who brings everything and the kitchen sink along, this might not be the right one for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it fits a tube, CO2 cartridges, a patch kit, and small tools. So you\u2019ll be good to go for some minor repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATINGS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Size<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aerodynamics<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weatherproofing<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attachment Method<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hooks, Straps, Clips<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;8\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Matching Sets<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Fo2gf7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">SpeedSleev<\/a> an average rating of 9.5 out of 10 possible points.

If you\u2019re a climber or a weight weenie, you&#8217;ll want to look into this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This bag is about as minimalist as you can get. It\u2019s tiny, at 0.8 liters, and holds <a href=\"https:\/\/roadbikebasics.com\/how-to-pack-saddle-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">just the necessities<\/a>, such as a tube, repair kit, or a snack. But it won\u2019t let you down since it\u2019s so light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One really cool aspect of this bag that makes it different from others is that it uses a snap-on system. You mount the system to the rails; then, you can remove the bag one-handed (which is terrific if you hold the bike with your other hand!). It also means fewer straps are flying around. You won\u2019t need to worry about loose ends banging into your legs. And since it sits up so close to your saddle, it\u2019s very aerodynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bag rolls down and uses a drawstring so you can compress the bag to the size of your contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Micro 2 is waterproof, so you can keep your ID, key fob, or whatever in there and know it will be safe from the elements. Just remember that it\u2019s a pretty small bag, so you won\u2019t fit a lot. But most of the time, we carry way more items than we need anyway, so minimalist bags aren\u2019t all that bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATINGS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Size<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aerodynamics<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weatherproofing<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attachment Method<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hooks, Straps, Clips<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Matching Sets<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;8\/10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/ortlieb-micro-two-saddlebag-rei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ortlieb Micro bag<\/a> gets a 9.4\/10.

It has internal pockets to keep all your items organized, with a simple nylon strap to attach it to the rails of your saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s an external sleeve to keep your multi-tool handy and a water-resistant zipper to protect against weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I had known about this bag when I first started cycling. I used to bring enough stuff for an entire weekend &#8211; even when I was just going to be riding for an hour or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Micro Caddie is very affordable (which is great for newbies or people on a tight budget). So you can try it out without it being a huge investment. And you can play around with what you need to put in it. Its small size will limit what you can bring, which might be a good thing, like in my case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s available in two sizes, so if the tiny size isn\u2019t big enough, you can opt for a slightly larger one.&nbsp; It\u2019s water resistant and will keep most of the rain and moisture at bay if caught in a storm. And it connects right to your saddle rails to be out of your way. Since it has a neoprene sleeve to dampen vibration, you won\u2019t even know it&#8217;s there. This means you won\u2019t have to worry about your saddle bag until you actually need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATINGS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Size<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aerodynamics<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weatherproofing<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attachment Method<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hooks, Straps, Clips<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Matching Sets<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I love that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/micro-caddie-saddle-bag-competitive-cyclist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Micro Caddy<\/a> is so small, lightweight, and inexpensive.

Their products are easy to find, always in stock, and they do the job. And you can purchase additional items from their lineup to match your saddlebags &#8211; such as handlebar bags, frame bags, and even top tube bags. They have plenty of products to choose from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TfNsEP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bike Saddle Bag <\/a>is tiny, fits snugly into the underside of your saddle, and attaches via two sets of hook-and-loop tape. First, the main part of the bag attaches to your seat rails with a velcro strap. Then, another strap goes around your seat post to keep it from swinging into your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A reflective logo and a small loop are on the back of the bag. You can use the loop to attach your taillight, making it easy to spot &#8211; which makes you easy to see, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bag&#8217;s shape is long and skinny, so that it will fit your tools easily. The bag zippers are wide open, so you have easy access, too. If you bring a tube, you may need to reroll it to fit the shape correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can\u2019t expect extremely high-end quality for these prices, you will get sturdy, practical bags and gear that get the job done. I never shy away from Rockbros items \u2013 they\u2019re consistently good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would not hesitate to purchase this inexpensive bag for my bike. It will stay in place, hold my essentials, and finish the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATINGS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Size<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aerodynamics<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weatherproofing<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attachment Method<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hooks, Straps, Clips<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Matching Sets<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a big fan of Rockbros for their consistent quality and affordable prices.

It\u2019s all laid out for you with very easy access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re done fixing your bike, you can roll it back up and reattach it, quickly and easily.

Swift devised a creative solution to a common problem: reinstalling your bike bag whenever you want to access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the outside shell mounts with a bucket strap to the rails of your saddle, making it good for a wide range of bikes.

You don\u2019t have to worry about it sagging down onto your wheel or banging into the backs of your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you have the sleeve mounted to the rails of your bike, you can slide the inner bag into it and clip it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The go bag rolls down to fit whatever size of cargo you stow inside. This gives you easy access when needed; you can even carry it inside to restock without remounting the entire bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you easy access to your bag when you need it &#8211; no more fumbling around trying to get your bag mounted \u2018just right\u2019 when standing on the roadside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like that you can purchase multiple sets and use the same go bag, no matter your bike. Just keep a shell mounted to each bike and bring the go bag along with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATINGS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Size<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aerodynamics<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weatherproofing<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attachment Method<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hooks, Straps, Clips<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Matching Sets<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7\/10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This clever bag fits tightly under your seat, so I give it an 8.6 out of 10.

However, you could easily switch the inner bag between bikes if you had more than one set.
