Any good ?

Thinking about getting one for the gravel bike for days out, so tools, tube, some layers, phone, food etc. I currently use an Evoc Stage 3 backpack, but keen to get rid of a backpack on gravel rides.

I have its big brother, the Vole, and the mounting system is great, no wobble at all.

Good to know, thanks. I have an older Pika for bikepacking which has been great.

What about a tangle instead? Works well on my atlas and easier access.

Thanks, I have one of those that I put on for multi day stuff, but usually tape frame up first and remove afterwards.

I have a shrew and like it. It does wobble loose a bit on occasion so I snug it up every few hours or so. Otherwise exactly as you'd expect. When I got it there weren't many options for waterproof packs at about that volume. Not sure if that's changed since.

I've got one Iain. Works well enough. As with most of these bags, it's better when more full. Empty, it just hangs a bit limp.
