Slacked Out Gripper

Not practical

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The Bag is small and ugly, doesnt fit too much things. The straps been hanging under the Bag. Maybe I can be use it on a bikepack.

Great! For the right bike

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

This product has worked great for me on both my gravel bike and my hardtail mountain bike. It fits a multitool, a tube, tire levers, and a car key no problem. Just be sure you check your frame style prior to purchasing. There are very few full-suspension bikes this will work on, so it is primarily hardtail/road/gravel frames.

Out of the box review

So the pictures are kind of confusing but this thing has 4 straps to anchor to your bike, not 3. But I guess that's why they're removable. I could do without the excess webbing. It's not detrimental to performance, but it is a nuisance that could potentially catch on things. I kind of wish the straps weren't Velcro since that doesn't hold up to wet/mud very well, but since I shouldn't' be riding wet trail conditions anyway, I'll withhold judgement for now. I'm impressed with how much I could stuff into it. I fit 1 spare 29in tube, 1-2 CO2 carriages, a small patch kit, small multi bike tool, 2 spoons, spare valves, and extra screws. I don't like carrying these things in a backpack and prefer a bike bag so I never forget what I need. I'm switching over from an under-the-saddle bag and this one looks much more secure and durable. I'm a pretty paranoid rider and I appreciate this bag enabling me to always be prepared like the Boy Scout I never was.
