Snack Bag Recommendation Needed

[John Saxby]

Andy, Revelate Designs (in Alaska, no less) have a huge range of frame-handlebar-seat-etc bags.  Their online ship website is temporarily down for re-stocking, but Bike Touring News is one of their online suppliers in the US.  Here's a link to the Revelate bags at BTN:

There's a "Fuel Bag" in that selection which might suit, but it's not cheap at USD 55 + shipping.

I just bought a "Tangle" frame bag that fits beneath the top tube, between the downtube & seat tube, and from that, they appear to be very high quality in materials and assembly. The mountain-bike guys in these parts praise Revelate products.

Hope this is useful--good luck.

+1 for Revelate.
I use a Tangle Bag and a Sweet Roll when cycle camping.
Great quality, light weight and lots of function built in.

Another option and local to the UK is Alpkit who make numerous bags including a Stem Cell which attaches to the stem and can be easily accessible whilst riding.

Revelate seems to ring a bell, but the problem is the shipping, duties and handling charges usually make anything bought from the States painfully expensive.  I have a few spyderco knives, which came from the US and got caught in customs here

Revelate is available in the UK from http://www.backcountrybiking.co.uk/
the prices are still painfully expensive, but no hidden or unexpected charges.
