Good Bag. it has enough space for 4 days of overnight Bikepacking tour.

I had recently purchased and immediately used for a 12-days' bike packing trip. It is pretty easy to install and disassemble. You can also take off the waterproof bag and leave the other parts on the bike itself. I had used a road bike and felt that the space between the handle bar limits the capacity of load that can be carried but if one uses this on a straight handle bar, it can be used to its full load capacity.

As with any long item/bag mounted on the handlebar, you'll feel the difference in maneuverabilty, but the trick is a secure and snug fit which the frontloader has achieved beautifully. Take care of your cables beforehand and get them as precisely cut as required (lengthwise). Unnecessarily long cables will be a headache while mounting the bag. The volume of 8 ltrs is more than enough for me as I will be carrying my tents around (1p or 3p) in it. There might arise a issue with the placement of your front light(s) as the strap tends to take quite a bit of space on both sides of the stem, so account for that beforehand. As to the quality of the material, no complaints whatsoever. I have been using a Topeak Backloader 10L for quite sometime now and it is amazing. The tricks are that you must know how to pack, what to pack and where to pack. The price has increased manifold in the last 1 and a half year and that is the only grudge I hold.
