Great bag but flawed buckle design
I've used this bar bag system on 2 bikepacking trips, including a 4 day trip, as well as trips around town carrying towels/clothes, etc. It's pretty straight forward to set up on drop bars, you just need to mind your cable-routing. Its also impressive how much you can pack in this bag with the air valve helping. The dry bag and harness feel pretty robust except for one major flaw; the harness buckles. On two occasions, the same buckle has snapped in the same place. Once on a ride around town when I cinched the strap down to secure the bag and the buckle snapped. Osprey sent me a replacement. The next incident happened on the 4 day trip when I hit a minor bump and the same buckle that was replaced, snapped again in the same spot. I did not have more than 7lbs of weight in the harness. Luckily I had an extra tie strap that I Jerry-rigged for the rest of the trip. This was super disappointing, especially from a company like Osprey who has a reputation for making durable gear. This buckle design is clearly flawed and should be re-designed to be thicker and more robust over being "minimal". If you're taking this on a longer trip, bring an extra strap with you in case. The bag itself is very durable but the harness buckle needs a big improvement because it can't be relied on.
Well built!
As with all Osprey goods, this handlebar bikepacking roll is well built and easy to install. The bag interfaced well with my Redshift kitchen sink bars and has plenty of clearance with the front tire. Only gripe is the clasps as I would have liked all the straps to have quick release clasps instead of having to thread the straps through buckles.
