Sturdy, good waterproof handlebar bag for bikepacking
I bought the bag for a 4-day trip with my mtb. In the beginning it was a bit of a puzzle how to mount the bag with all the cables I have. In the end, this still turned out okay. The bag was well waterproof. The strap at the back to attach the bag to your frame at the front caused slight damage to my frame due to the many twists. However, this is minor and not a big problem. Once the bag is mounted, it stays firmly in place, but if you want to take something out when it is already hanging on the handlebar, it is difficult to roll it up again properly.

Good product with few minor drawbacks
GreenDivide cycled along. Bag looks good quality and sits securely on handlebars. Assembly takes some time and the bag is not easy to take off. Bag is well waterproof and a valve helps with sizing when your luggage contents are smaller. Stuff is hard to get out on a handlebar with drops. Overall quality of what you would expect from Ortlieb.

Great bag for on the handlebar
I used this bag for an 8 day bikepacking tour with my road bike. Put my tent in the bag, 2.7kg. For the bag, I also had my sleeping bag attached to it. I had to check daily if I could keep shifting properly, so it was fitting and measuring. Sufficient possibilities to secure the bag. I would recommend using duct tape to protect the front of the frame. I did not do this and it does chafe. I did leave it on the handlebar at the end of the day and only undid the straps to take the tent out. Otherwise it is quite a hassle to have to do this every day.
