We are back from Montana! During our 5 days in SW Montana we tried a lot of different permutations of bags and racks. One of my personal favorite bags was the Ortlieb frame bag. In this video, I tell you why!

For those that would rather read than watch a video, here is the executive summary:

Pros:
-Durable construction and materials
-Waterproof
-Medium can fit smaller frames
-Narrow enough to not hit knees while riding
-adjustable velcro straps for a good fit

Cons:
-No port for hydration hoses
-Zipper on the “wrong” side
-Waterproofness can cause condensation inside bag
