I have two of them on two of my bikes. Both are made of the x-pac material which is a lot sharper looking than the 1000 condura material they show on their website.

I really like the look of that bag, but it bugs me that they put a zipper on the underside. Granted, it is a "water proof" zipper, but still. You ride a little gravel/dirt in the rain, and you're going to have so much grit right around that zipper, that over time will work into the teeth.

Better zipper placement would have been an improvement, IMO. Also, given gravity, packing that thing while the bike is upright seems to be a challenge.

Despite that, I still dig the overall look.

I really like the look of that Castelli bag. Am skeptical it will hold multitool, 2 tubes, and CO2/inflator. But I'd have to get my hands on it to try.
