REI Co-op  Link Frame Bag

I used this once so far on a 20-mile road bike workout. I am pleased with how the Size M fits my 56cm frame...not too big, not too small. I am excited to take it bikepacking in the Mark Twain National Forest this summer to test durability and water resistance. The zippers are water proof, but I think the material is only water resistant. Pros: Easy to operate zippers with one hand while riding Size M fits perfectly in my 56cm frame Seemingly durable material and features to stand the test of time Strong bungee cord to enable one hand use of the zippers Internal Velcro to keep pump attached to the top of the bag without taking up space for essentials at the bottom Did I say durable zippers yet? Will likely use this for more than just biking (think stroller bag attachment for kids) Zippers/storage on either side of the bag Cons Would prefer more color options The top/back velcro closest to the seat seems a bit narrow, but does the job and holds the bag in place over bumpy terrain Only reason its not 5-stars is because I would prefer additional color options.

I got the REI Co-op Link Frame Bag in the small size to fit my very old Specialized mountain bike. My bike frame is shaped a little odd and the small size just barely fits. I had to squish it a bit to get it secured and it partially blocks my water bottle holder. Might be a sign I need a new bike! The bag seems to be made with a nice durable water resistant material. The velcro attachment straps are very strong and are long enough for various frame sizes. I like the separate storage on either side of the bag. The right side has a larger compartment and holds my little tire pump securely with velcro and still has plenty of additional room for things like my compact multi-tool for repairs. The other side is a smaller compartment but can hold things like a phone, keys, or a slim wallet and other smaller items. Both the zipper and bag material seem to be water resistant. I haven't tested it in the rain yet but it's good to know that it should be protected from some rain and mud. I really like the bag and its ability to store things like my keys, wallet, phone, tire pump, multi-tool, and other misc. items without putting them in a backpack like I was doing.

This is a really nice frame bag. It seems well-built and I expect it to last a long time. The zippers seem to be high quality, and the bag is very sturdy. It fits my bike very well (Medium bag on a Medium framed gravel bike). I don't notice it at all while I'm riding. The velcro attachments provide secure mounting, with no swinging or swaying of the bag while riding. The cargo capacity is as expected for a bag of this size. It's nice to be able to carry a bit more on a long day trip, especially if the weather is spotty. The second zippered phone pocket is really nice to have. A great place to put my phone while riding where it's easily accessible. On longer bikepacking trips this should be a nice bit of extra space to complement my panniers and other packs. Overall, this is a nicely designed and built frame pack. Exactly what I want.

A frame pack like this is great for so many rides, from full-on touring to an everyday ride. It can hold a jacket/vest, snacks, phone, tubes, tools, money, etc. all while being more accessible than a saddle pack and less problematic (and wind-catching) than a handlebar bag. A frame bag like this is probably the first bag to get for your bike. I love the smart placement of zippers on this to create different compartments here and it's quite well made. You'll save a bunch compared the other brands and get a great product. This comes in a variety of sizes and I would recommend you bring your bike to REI to see which one fits best or order the two different sizes you think will fit and return the one that doesn't. I got a small, thinking it would be for my wife's bike (the red one in my pictures) but it was still too big (her frame is an extra small). It fits pretty well on my mountain bike so I'll use it there. REI products are the sweet spot for most of us between the big-name brands and the subpar stuff you'll get on Amazon. Thumbs up from me.

I received this product for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. Wow, this frame bag was truly a game changer. I typically bike to and from the pool and end up trying to carry all the stuff I need (goggles, ID, phone) on my person - easier said than done! Getting panniers or otherwise seemed like too much for what I needed, so I never thought to get a frame bag. It's the perfect size to put your personal items in and fits securely on the bike that I don't have to worry about it getting in my way. I got the size Small and it fits my Small Public bike pretty well.

Was able to test this out on a few of my bikes. I like that it has adjustable straps to fit on different frame sizes. The water resistance is nice for riding in wet conditions and keeping items dry. It does not get in the way when sitting and pedaling on the bike. The storage is a nice size to hold snacks, electronics, and personal items.

The L bag fits my size 58 Trek Checkpoint very well - the gaps aren’t too big, and I was able to secure it well. The two pockets make organization easier, and the pump loops inside are a clever tough.

This bag feels like it will last for a long time as the fabric is very thick and durable. Would be perfect for bikepacking or unipacking. Tried it on my unicycle and it fits perfectly. Great to carry tools and other items without the need for a backpack.

Absolutely love this product! Put this bag on my e-bike and it makes trips so much easier now. Not only is the quality of the bag amazing, but it also has the perfect amount of room. I love that the bag repels water and has waterproof zippers, along with enough space for everything i bring on bike rides. Highly recommend this item.

I’ve been really impressed with the REI Co-op Link Frame Bag so far. The profile is low enough that it doesn’t interfere with pedaling, but it still holds a surprising amount of gear. I can pack in everything I need for longer rides—tools, snacks, layers—without it feeling bulky or getting in the way. It strikes a nice balance between capacity and ride feel, which is exactly what I was looking for in a frame bag.
