Commissioned a bag for my front rack from Dan about 9 months ago, which has been in almost daily use on my commuter.
I had a tool roll/ saddle pouch for a few years before, so when I moved back to London after uni and started commuting on my Surly I reached out.
I'm very impressed with the build quality - I've seen no real signs of wear so far and the waterproofing has been great through a handful of torrential rides.
The design is really well thought out - Dan tried out a new attachment method with a large front strap/flap that works really well with my rack (BLB T Rack), as well as two rear straps which hold it down. When carrying heavier loads, I've used some smaller straps on the bottom webbing which really helps to stabilise it.
The roll top is really useful for when I need to overload it with shopping or bulky clothes, while keeping a low profile the rest of the time, and the additional carrying straps has been good for the occasional train ride when I leave the bike at work.
Overall, I'm really pleased with the bag itself, Dan's communication and pricing, and have enjoyed using the bag everyday! Will probably reach out soon for some smaller bags.
