Just used my feedbag for a self-navigated WC tour. Perfect for infrequent supply points. I found the orange liner handy to access the bag and the tagged pull enclosure worked well to secure supplies one handed over rough gravel sections. The straps did a great job of keeping the bag secure and the grey cotton not only looked the part but promises to take quite a beating. I was especially happy that the bag is locally manufactured for local conditions and not manufactured and shipped from half way round the world!
