NOTE: The Chicago Wig bag has changed since FGG's review. It now comes with flap velcro as well as a wider, removable belt.

I own both the RELoad and Chicago Wig bags. They both have advantages and drawbacks but, overall, I still like the Chicago Wig bag more. The RELoad is wider and the Wig bag is deeper. I can fit the same amount in each. That is my 4' Kryptonite security cable, seat security cable, wallet, cellphone, iPod, keys, and U-lock. The Wig bag is more comfortable and, for what I pack, fits the contents better. It's also more secure as the RELoad bag just uses a weakish velcro to hold the top closed and the Wig bag has both velcro and clips to hold it shut. I had posted side-by-side photos of both in a previous hip-bag thread.

That said, the RELoad bag's adjustable rear loop that holds the lock against your hip is not uncomfortable. I was skeptical but it works... and works with any sized U-lock except the extra-wide mountain bike locks but I doubt anyone here uses those. The Chicago Wig U-lock holder ONLY fits mini U-locks because it's not that deep. If you have a standard sized U-lock, you can still fit it between the belt, belt loops, and back of the bag kind of like the RELoad. It's hard to describe but it works, is secure, but the bag isn't designed for that so don't hold me responsible if it results in damage to the bag if you do it. For me, this is a big deal and the main reason I don't ride with the Wig bag much yet... I have a full sized Onguard Bulldog lock that won't fit in its lock pocket. I need to find out if the pocket will fit a Fahgettaboudit lock....

But the RELoad is like a mini messenger bag in shape and design. It even has the waterproof plastic lining inside. The Wig bag isn't the traditional messenger bag shape but that makes it a bit more comfortable and secure when riding and it fits the same amount.. afterall, it ISN'T a messenger bag. The lower half of the Wig bag is semi-reflective material as well which is kind of cool.
