Revelate Designs  Hopper Frame Bag

I really like this little bag. The smaller wedge is great for running a bag + bottle cages, or as a bag on smaller frame/full-sus. The flap is really nice for quick access, but it does mean that this isn’t going to be a waterproof bag for long trips where things are REALLY wet. The included Velcro is great, and there’s some foam on the bottom loops to keep rubbing damage down. The closure mechanism is great and the magnet helps it find its way. The only thing I have found to be an issue is the price, but it feels like it will last forever with proper cleaning & care.

Wanted a smaller frame pack for my fat bike and had been eyeing this one for awhile. Was hesitant because there were no reviews anywhere. Glad I went with it! Fits my bike perfect, is the perfect size. Not too bulky and perfect amount of room for my wallet, phone, pump, gauge, maps, snacks, whatever you need on the trail! My favorite feature of it is the magnetic closure, it basically latches automatically so no fussing with it.

Great bag. I used this on a few other bikes, and it finally has a permanent home with my small Surly Krampus. I keep tools, a spare tube, riding food, a trail first aid kit, and it still has a bit of room to spare. Even though this does not zip closed, I've never had a problem with anything falling out. Once you cinch the magnetic closure tight to the bag, there is no room for anything to fall out under normal riding conditions. This is fine on singletrack, gravel and dirt roads, and on paved paths. Water resistance is great. To keep the bag looking new, I always wipe it down after a ride using a damp microfiber cloth. The hook and loop straps for the frame are excellent quality and I feel good about supporting a company that manufactures these in the U.S.A.

For a full suspension mountain bike, the Revelate Designs Hopper Frame Bag is a great alternative to a custom-made frame pack. It is light, simple and fits in the triangular space of my Niner RIP RDO frame. Their one-handed recoil closure is easy and quick for accessing snacks either with bare hands or winter gloves. I was easily able to store a bowl, cup and several food-bars without packing the bag. It didn't bulge and my knees cleared it with room to spare.

Finally found a frame bag that will fit my small hardtail bikes. Shorter riders will understand that there is just less frame space for bikepacking bags. This bag not only fits most small frames, but actually has decent volume and still lets me have a water bottle cage. I also like that the velcro straps are fully removable. I swapped them out for Voile straps so they won’t scratch my frame. (Most bags have a few Velcro straps that are sewn on.)

I wasn’t sure how this bag would fit on my 2020 Giant Revolt Advanced, but I’m glad I took the chance on it because it’s perfect. It allows me more storage space but let’s me keep a bottle cage free. Easy access door on the side means I can get things I need one handed. Great bag!

Great for bikes with small front triangles (Kona Honzo St). Love the mag flap and daisy chain loops for interacting with other bags/mounts

Kinda shiny and "modern", but does exactly what I wanted it to do. Keeps my phone & keys tucked away safe and still have plenty of room for my bluetooth speaker to provide tunes. I think it's water resistant & highly reflective, two great things, but this is going on my beach cruiser and "raining" and "dark" are conditions this bike is unlikely to face. Still, if it happens, I'll be glad I got this bag!

What I like are the magnetic latch, the sturdy, waterproof fabric. What I do not like is that the velcro straps that secure the bag to the bike frame are so rough, they made harsh scratches on my brand new steel frame All-City Space Horse.
