Handlebar bag

[Polite]

I'm after a smallish sized bag (phone, wallet, multi tool, snacks) for the handlebar. I'd prefer something that attaches with straps, something waterproof and durable. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

ortleib is the most expensive. you will probably save twenty quid by going for another brand. this is a decision you will regret for many years. ortleib is bombproof waterproof, well made, lasrs for decades and has brilliant replaceable map cases.

Here's one I made earlier. it's a Klick fix bracket on the handlebars then a second hand camera bag with a Klick fix attachment plate.

It's just the right size for a phone, keys and some snacks.

For a bag mounting with straps rather than a separate bracket, the Axiom Adirondack seems well liked. Water resistant rather than waterproof, though.

Maybe look at something like a carradice zip roll?

the standard ortlieb bag is waterproof, the smaller (compact) one isn't quite - ortlieb say so themselves. Horizontal rain penetrates.

I tried one of these but found it very awkward to get in to, with its single horizontal zip - I sent it back. I have some arthritis in my thumbs though which didn't help.

Put "handlebar front bag velcro" into ebay and you'll get lots of light bar bag options that attach to the bar with straps. I got one in a french supermarket, £5, 200g, much like this, below, could not be happier with it, to the extent that I sold my Ortlieb. Horses for courses etc.
