Customer Reviews
Perfect as always !!!!
For entire life ......
Very happy with my Cadet so far, which I use as a front bag positioned between my 42cm wide handlebars. I manage to fit a complete repair kit, rain jacket and trousers, food and extra changing clothes. Perfect for long distance.
I plan to use is in combination with the camper long flap for bike packing.
Took a punt on this bag as I have a relatively long commute (30kms), and need to take my laptop. I've tried rucksacks (can get too hot), panniers (feels like overkill- especially in crosswinds), so had my eye on a Carradice system for a while. Going with a saddlebag looked to be quite an aero setup- keeping my back free of load, but with the bag 'tucking in' under my saddle for admittedly marginal gains.
The cadet fits my 15" laptop, spares for a mechanical, and a spare shirt without problem. I'm probably knocking on the door of the 5 / 6kgs limit of the classic saddle bag rack (fixed via the adaptor loops to a fizik aliante), but I enjoy being able to uncouple the whole bag and rack system- if I just fancy a blast out on the bike without luggage.
I avoided the side pockets of the other bags as I wanted the bag to sit behind the width of my backside, which this does just about! Its a great bag- and would definitely do a great job for short tour or day trip.
After some fettling to get the set up right, I can say I'm really happy with it. The quality of the bag is very good, and in my humble opinion, looks great with my tan walls and ti frame.
I have absolutely no qualms recommending. Thank you Carradice.
