As alpkit are out of stock on their Kanga, this looks like a good alternative for not much money,

Does anyone have one?

Feedback I've seen had generally been good but nothing specific to the handlebar bag.

Another UK made option is the Wildcat Lion which is well regarded.

I do like the look of the wildcat gear one. Its just the price that bugs me, being so much more than Alpkit and Restrap

Been looking at them too.

I see Ortlieb have a bar bag and large seat pack coming out in June for bike packing. Details on their website.

First things first, Restrap give me gear to use in return for stories on their website, so I am not unbiased.

I've been using their bar holster for a while - really rate it. Like the magnetic clips they use. The material and build is extremely hardwearing. All good.

For the record, I used a Wildcat Lion before that, which is also excellent.

Both are holster style, which works brilliantly. Allows you to remove the dry bag and take into your tent/bothy/whatever and not have to fanny about with straps on the bike the next morning.
