Bike Bags, Gear reviews » Banjo Brothers Seat Bag
The Banjo Brothers are a small entity, located in one of this nation’s great cycling cities – Minneapolis. We are a fine purveyor of cycling accessories, or more simply put, we make bike bags and stuff. Our mantra is to be known as the company who makes solid, well-designed bags for commuters and recreational cyclists without cutting any corners.
The bag is not yet on the Banjo Brothers web-site but here are the details per the hang tag and my observations.
This seat bag is 400 cu in. with a waterproof outer. Inside is a snap-in welded waterproof bag. Two straps on the outside strap under the seatrals and serve to compress the bag. One strap on the bag closes the bag. The inside is supported by a hard plastic sheet to maintain shape. Small zipper pocket on top to store Credit cards/money/keys. A small loop on top for lashing a light jacket.
Cost $45.00

I purchased this bag to test it out and for the money I thought even if it didn’t work well, I’m not out much cash. I packed it up with spare riding shorts, socks, gloves, arm and knee warmers, rain pants and nylon shorts. All this fit with no problem and I still have room for a few more items. I really like the removable liner so the bag never has to come off the bike when packing. Quality appears pretty good. Although it hasn’t been a problem yet, it would seem that a full length wrap around the seatpost would be an improvement.
