Anybody use this bag
Thoughts on this bag
I just want a smaller handlebar bag for a rain jacket and some food for longer rides. Doe's anybody use this bag. I have a small Topeak bag, but I think it's a little heavy for what I'm doing.I had the Topeak bag and a rack on the bike and a light and it weighed 36#. I took off everything but my saddle bag and frame pump and I got it down to 27#. I was thinking that this bag shouldn't add to much weight.

Must be this one. It's the only bag where the URL ends the same as the link the OP posted:

I have a very similiar one which I use for daily riding. I even think it's the same dimensions and has the same pockets. It holds a small U-Lock and cable, map, a few bars, sandwich, an orange, a rain _resistant_ jacket, wallet/phone.
Some observations:
I have brifters on my bike and the cables cross on top of the bag. I have to work through the cables to open it.
I have it resting on a front rack. The rear wall is slightly floppy when it is not filled. A decaleur would be ideal, but then it would add weight to your bag which you said don't want.
