BikeRadar verdict

4 out of 5 stars

"Good value, tough and fully waterproof"

Mon 5 Jul 2010, 1:00 pm BSTBy

The saddlebag Micro answers the need for somewhere to stash a mobile phone and keys when out riding.

The alternative of using the zipped pocket of a jersey can result in dangerously soggy electronics, and a bum bag is bulky and annoying to ride with. The Micro is fully waterproof, with a simple roll top and toggle fastening.

It also has a reflective patch and a quick release attachment, and is just the right size for the bare essentials, including an ultra small windproof. It weighs 112g and will keep your phone dry no matter how inclement the weather. There’s even enough room for an iPhone in a protective case, if you happen to have one.
