Hi, looking for a small handlebar bag like the Alpkit Toploader (unfortunately they are out of stock). But don't seem to find anything similar. Need to have easy access when riding, so either a zip or opening flap, so don't want a roll top design like the dry bags which are popular for bikepacking, plus they all seem to big for my needs.

I already have a Topeak Tourguide handlebar bag for my touring bike, but I don't really want something like that with a mount to attach it to bars, as I find it rattles and bounces around a lot.

Any ideas?
Cheers

I’ve preordered a See.sense bar bag. Just under 2 litres, perfect for snacks etc. ‘Half price’ at the minute but end of August for delivery.

Pre ordered one of those see sense bags for longer winter rides. Looks good for £20.

I got one made from han_lar on Instagram, have a look at her profile for all the designs she had done, bespoke made and delivered within 2 weeks!

Decathlon?

They’ve got one on their site that’s about £13 and looks similar. There’s usually something there at a reasonable price. I’ve got an older design knocking around in the garage. Does the job for not much cash.

beerbabe.co.uk custom one built from recycled innertubes? I like em and have one in the pipeline for my loop bar.

Have also been looking at similar/identical? to OP for my drop bar and flat bars. Either would be served by the Carradice Zipped Roll Bag? It’s a saddle bag but can be used as a bar bag.

My recommendations are probably twice the dosh of those other things though. I tend to spend a long time choosing luggage that will last and gives me joy/satisfaction to use almost daily (still using an Agu rackpack from 20 years ago , and it will most likely see another 20 good service.
