Every cyclist needs a saddle bag or bags to ensure they can carry the essentials for the ride of choice. PRO builds some durable, useful softgoods that equal or better most options at the same price point. Their series of Strap Saddlebags comes in four convenient sizes and each size has features and functionality we appreciate. The Mini Strap Saddlebag is a .4 liter (400cc) compact, horizontally-oriented saddle bag made from PVC-free material that is lightweight, durable and environmentally friendly to produce.

The main compartment features a weather resistant zipper closure that drops down from a bottom "hinge" for easy access. A bright blue base material is softer to the touch, and provides great contrast to darker items for faster identification. The inside of the opening flap also doubles as stretch mesh pocket for secure stowage. While not as small as the many of the smallest (25cc) saddle bags, this bag is far more effective for safely carrying the essentials.

Attaching the Mini Strap Saddlebag to your bike is quite easy, with exceptionally flat, smooth-covered Velcro straps for both your seatpost and saddle rails. Well made, with an loop zipper pull for the main compartment, and a substantial loop tab at the back for a clip-on light, the Mini hits all the marks. Factor in reflective logos and you have a low volume saddlebag that is ideal for road cycling of any kind, and won't be out of place on a mountain bike for short rides, or in conjunction with a hydration pack for longer trails.
