<\/a><\/div>\n

The Ortlieb Ultimate5 Classic handlebar bag from Ortlieb is a really well made piece of gear. The bag is waterproof like all Ortlieb  gear, but what is really the most impressive thing about this is bag is the attachment mechanism. It is rock solid, the bag never bounces around at all.<\/p>\n

It attaches with a large plastic block.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The block clips your bag in to place, and can even lock on. It is cool that they include the lock and keys with the bag, not a separate upgrade. (Why do roof racks not come with keys? Really who is not going to lock their bike? )<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

 The mount attaches with a braided steal cord, which just does not seem like it would work, but oh it does…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The box is kind of like a large lunch pale, the top attaches with snaps.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It has a large main pocket and a zippered pouch. It can easily fit a jacket and what not for heading out and about on your bike.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The bag also has an included removable shoulder strap for carrying it when off the bike. It attaches to these nubs on the side.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Ortlieb has a ton of accessories for this bag like a map holder , GPS holder and a SLR camera insert.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Anyhow I have used it for going around town and for riding on the beach, it is perfect for carrying a few things when you don’t want a backpack. It is also really nice for holding things you’d want while riding, as it is easy to open and close while riding. <\/p>\n
