  • Think I'm getting closer on this bar bag. Idea is to make it easily accessible while riding, fast to attach/remove and NON-waterproof so it can be washed and dried after carrying food on long rides. I first tried using heavy weight canvas to get it to hold its shape, then tried sewing a couple of rare earth magnets into the hem for soft closure, and finally put a fidlock magnetic snap on it with some closed cell foam for structure.

    Also made a load (~40) of these saddle bags while out of work during summer, sold and donated the proceeds because #2020. Very basic but easy to color match the zipper which some like.

  • Looks great! I've just ordered some of the Fidlock Snap buckles for a similar closure from elastic cord to webbing. Are these the full size ones?

  • I think these are the 20mm, the webbing connection is 3/4" exactly. Really nice hardware - just wish they were cheaper!
