Just ordered one after having to sit outside on today's cafe ride due to Essex entering Tier 2 and not allowing non household groups in. General consensus, after today's ride, is we'll all get a bag and carry an extra jacket for cafe stops etc.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[OK, I said I'd post a quick review when it arrived, so here goes. 

This is a Wizard Works Lil Presto bag https://wizard.works/products/lilpresto

I ordered it on a Saturday evening and it arrived in the wilds of Aberdeenshire on Wednesday, so can't complain about that.

The bag is a fairly simple affair; a barrel with a Y2K zip and a couple of pouches on the side, but it seems to be well made and is exactly the size I was looking for. 

Price wise I ordered the optional spacers to give me a few fitting options. So, with shipping the whole lot came to £75.50. That's a fair bit more than even a Rapha bag and they are hardly known for being cheap. But I guess it depends what value you put on something being made here vs overseas. There are other threads for that discussion though. It's a well made bag, fits all the criteria I was looking for and the price is what it is. 

For fitting I used a couple of the spacers to clear my cables, which are quite neat anyway and it all sits quite nicely.

There is a chord to stabilize it, which I looped around the stem as that avoided any chance of rubbing paint anywhere.

Does it bounce on rough ground? Probably, but not so I noticed to be honest and I took it down some rocky descents that were on the limit of what I (personally) would do on a gravel bike. Mind you, on those descents I'm keeping my eyes firmly on the trail. It didn't move enough to distract me though. 

In terms of size; it's exactly what I was looking for. It swallows my OMM primaloft pullover thing and a compact camera. So, I can keep warm on stops while I try to get those creative juices flowing. 

It shrugs off weather well enough for a five hour ride in crappy Scottish autumn weather, but isn't fully waterproof. At the end of that five hour mucky ride the contents were still dry, but I hosed the bike down today as it was covered in crap and there was about a teaspoon of water in the bag. My Apidura top tube bag, on the other hand, was bone dry inside. 

The splatter colour isn't to everyone's taste I'm sure. A bit 1980s. But it's on a two-tone purple and green bike, so it fits I reckon. 

Have I reached full #grvlwnkr? Not sure, but I must be getting close :)
