Its just a small saddlebag
Pros: Durable, Rugged, Good Fit
"its just a small saddlebag so what do you say....its well made and carries the few bits that I require when out cycling. It fits and seems well made....but at the end of the day it is just a small saddle bag. Usual good service from Wiggle."

Fragile bracket - Avoid
Pros: Attractive, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Poor Quality, Expensive, Low Quality, Wears Out Easily
"On the surface this saddle bag was everything I wanted. Stylish, light and just the right size to fit my multitool, CO2 and spare tube. Sadly, 2 months in the bracket sheared and the bag bounced off down the road.
Having looked at other reviews I can see that I am not the only one to have suffered this fate and I can only assume the product is faulty by design.
Such a pity."

Compact & Snuggle
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"This is my very first Saddle bag, and all I can say its pretty good, it perfectly fits my iPhone and car keys. It doesn't sway side to side when your off the saddle climbing. I don't even really notice it being there.
Only down side is the zip sometimes sticks out and your leg brush against it. Its not big but hey thats why its "compact" so I don't use it for my spare tubes or C02 just for those lose items I don't want to lose in my back pockets on my Jersey.
The easy unlocking system is straight forward, very good buy for a newbie bike rider."

Lost it first ride... rubbish clip
Pros: Attractive
Cons: Poor Fit, self ejecting, non biodegradeable when lost!
"Size-wise it just fits a larger multitool and a puncture kit with probably 10% capacity left to go. However, said multitool and puncture kit are no longer in my possession seeing as this bag fell off in the first 15 miles of use!
The clip clamps under the saddle ok, and the bag then "locks"(!) onto the clip via a rotary motion with a couple of clicks. Seemed solid enough to start with and periodic glances showed it to still be there. However, once I'd got home I noticed the clip was there but the bag wasn't and retracing the last few miles in a car shortly after brought no joy.
Whilst it looks ok I can't recommend it as my stuff is now either lost in a ditch or in the hands of a sticky-fingered passer by. One to avoid!"

"I had to return this bag. The clip is not good and as soon as you hit some rough road it will fall off. I would advise to check Wiggle for another bag and aviod Scicon bags that use this clip method."

Reasonable but not perfect
Pros: Attractive, Durable, bag construction is high quality
Cons: Poor Fit, clip is a bit mediocre
"This saddle bag is 'OK'. There's nothing wrong with it in any major way, other than perhaps the manner in which it attaches to the seat rails. The clip doesn't really secure it well to the 'V' of the rails directly beneath the seat to allow it to ride in a higher position, so as a result it tends to drop down lower towards the bottom of the rails. The setup looks awkward as a result. Its a shame, because the bag itself seems well made and durable, the colour choices are attractive, and the bag is just big enough for a spare tube, a multi-tool and perhaps a CO2 cylinder. Unsighted, it is a bit smaller than you might think so bear that in mind."

Crackin Saddle Pack
Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"I bought the compact 430 which will just about fit an I-Phone, Tube and Tyre levers, but there is deffinately no room for anything else, but then again what more would you really need!! I love the way it is fitted to the saddle so that it wil not rattle, unlike my old Topeak which was a monster!!"

Small but does the job !
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"The item is compact, you can just about get a spare tube, Co2 cartridge and a small toolkit in the bag, then with a bit of pushing and shoving you can get some spare change in there aswell for emergencies. Zip is strong and i've already done a fair distance on the bike and the bracket seems fine. Looks good aswell !"

Great saddle bag
"I have two of these bags and use they are as versatile and hard wearing whether used on a road bike or on a mountain bike plus they look great, especially in the black pro carbon. Size will easily accommodate a couple of tubes, levers, mobile and loose change."

Nice and neat..
Pros: Attractive, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"Have one of these on the back of my Focus Cayo, so for a start the colours are a perfect match!
Very happy with the purchase. It is a compact bag, but can still fit in a allen key multitool, tube, tyre levers and chain tool.
Easy to remove, but secure when fitted."

Cool bag - looks good but pricey
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Good Fit, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"Nicely made. Looks good on the bike, with a great carbon fibre-y finish to the material. I can fit a spare tube, small pocket multitool, levers, co2 canister and nozzle plus enough room for some money etc. Not much more than that though. Mounts very easily. Doesn't vibrate on the road as much as some others. Good item if you don't mind the price."

nice & small.
Pros: Attractive
"Well it's big enough to fit (squeeze) in an inner-tube, multitool & tyre levers... it looks like it's about to burst but the zip seems strong enough.
I would have liked a stitched strap on the back to attach rear lights as well, but that's missing."

Nice lightweight saddle bag
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, High Quality
Cons: Not Enough Features
"Fitting is really easy, no tools required and the bag easily comes off, but never when I didn't want it too. My only complaint is that there is no little strap to clip a tail light onto which seems a significant oversight."

Not too Big- & - Not too Small
Pros: Attractive, Durable, High Quality, Rugged
"Not too Big - Not too Small-
says it all really -
Well made and Attractive , this Little saddlebag is perfect for those wishing to carry a Spare tube\ Tyre levers- small repair kit and a chocolate bar - but not much else.
I find it perfect for my needs- Plus I like the way it will detach from the saddle with just a quarter turn , but is very secure when in place.
All in All a winner !"

I thought this was great until it fell off
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Expensive, Wears Out Easily
"The bag is well made and has a quality feel to it. I had it for a few months until it fell off, costing me the bag and everything in, £50 in all! I rode for hours trying to find it
I may have fitted incorrectly that time, but I did notice the plastic wearing on the fitting mechanism.
I say stick with bags that have straps unless you really need to take it off the bike quickly"

Attractive saddle pack
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive, too small
"Good, easy to use, attractive and looks high quality. But it is too small for my purposes.
It cannot hold, 2 tubes, a multitool and tyre levers!
I have given it to my wife."
