Handlebar bags are a convenient and easy way to carry extra gear on a bike for running errands or longer self-supported rides. Thousand’s new Crossbody Handlebar bag is a compact handlebar bag that can also be worn as a cross body bag with a clever 2-in-1 design. The Crossbody bag retails for $49 and offers 2L capacity. The bag uses three plastic buckles to attach to handlebars as well as an additional body strap that can be stored in a hidden rear pocket. With its clever design you can easily use the Crossbody bag on or off the bike and take advantage of the water repellent design and reflective logos for additional visibility. One of the main party tricks of the bag is the versatile mounting design which allows the Crossbody Handlebar bag to be mounted onto bikes or on your body. The handlebar mounting uses three plastic buckles with two on the top and one on the rear. Each buckle is secured to the bag using a reinforced loop with adjustable lengths to accommodate different bike setups. The rear buckle goes around head tubes to prevent the bag from bouncing while riding. Compared to the Velcro straps on other bags like the Topeak Tubular Barbag, the buckles are a bit bulky. What’s clever about this bag is the additional body strap attached to the bag which uses a rubber coated soft-touch buckle. There is an integrated hidden rear sleeve to store the strap when it isn’t being used which doesn’t encroach on the inner pocket space and does a great job keeping the strap out of sight. Thousand has developed the Crossbody Handlebar Bag not only for the journey but also for the destination with its 2-in-1 design. This is a fairly compact bag with a 2L capacity and 24 x 13 x 8 cm dimensions. The bag is constructed from a combination of polyester and nylon and has a soft fabric feel to it. Thousand currently offers the bag in two colors: black and the olive color we have in this review. We suspect there will be more color options in the future to match Thousand’s fun helmet color schemes like Speedway Creme. Branding is limited to a reflecting Thousand logo along the front and on the zipper pulls Otherwise the bag looks and feels premium with clean stitches and a slight sheen on the exterior. ...
