“A very good bag. Strong. Withstands short periods of rain. I got the transporter deluxe and used for over a week in north Wales weather but it has been unseasonably dry so not fully tested. But what would make it an excellent bag are 2 things:
1. A full zip enclosure on the front outer pocket. Currently a small square piece of velcro and it does catch water so I'd hesitate to use it if out for long periods of wet weather.
2. Bigger drinks bottle exterior pockets - currently sewn flat which is the wrong shape and design for a bottle. This means if the bag is full, a bottle does not fit and I'm only carrying a 500ml bottle.
It's a shame but for these two points it would get 5 stars.
Other reviews have also mentioned these issues.”
“Good bag overall, good size and pockets. Annoyingly the side pockets are small so if you have a wide water bottle it will not fit.
The bag does also arrive with that plastic smell that takes a while to get rid of.”
