Your bike gives you freedom, and if you want to enjoy this for several days you need to bring some gear. The Topeak FrontLoader is particularly useful for bikepackers going on an overnight trip. In it you can easily store a sleeping bag and mat or other things such as an extra set of clothes and camping gear.
Capacity
With a maximum capacity of 8 litres, your handlebar bag can hold a lot of luggage. But if you don't need to bring so much gear, you can remove the air from the bag using the built-in air release button. This way, you can keep your luggage compact, which is convenient when you have a long ride ahead of you.
Focus on user comfort
The Topeak FrontLoader is made of lightweight, highly water-repellent and durable materials. With the FrontLoader, you won't have to deal with wet gear after a rainshower, which you'll appreciate when having arrived at your destination. The FrontLoader is easy to mount and remove with the straps and quick-release buckles. The attachment system ensures an even distribution of pressure; this way, you have control over the handlebars at all times, even on rough descents.

Fine, spacious bag
Easy to assemble using the handy instructions. Combined with saddle bag, you have enough litres for a nice trip.
Pros & Cons
2 / 5
Easy bag, with a design flaw
Easy system for a front-loader bag. But I do fear a major design flaw. The inner bag bulges very quickly as you adjust it tightly on the side. As a result, the bag soon comes up against the front wheel. I fear it will wear out quickly.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Bikepacking first purchase voucher
Good product, the bag is very easy to detach and reattach. Be careful with the transmission cables, which may be held up by the volume of the bag.
4 / 5
Solid, waterproof, offers plenty of space
Previously, I had been using the Ortlieb handlebar bag (the variant with the openings along the side) which, however, often hung a bit too low and is a bit cumbersome to unfasten and fasten. This bag has the advantage that you can leave the shell hanging on your handlebars and only take out the light bag itself. This does save time and fiddling. The straps allow you to tighten them down well. I myself spent two weeks travelling around with it and although the material of the bag is quite light, I didn't have any problems with it. It also withstood hefty rain showers with flying colours. There are no elastic bands on the front, but you can fasten a light jacket between the straps.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
It works but not optimally for road cycling
2 x made a small trip on the road bike and this contained some clothes and other small clutter. You need some space for your shifters so you're not going to be able to get it completely full. The inner pocket with valve does help to reduce the volume. My cables run through the handlebars so it took some effort to slide these aside without taking the tape off my handlebars
