The reviewer found the side-roll opening easy to use, although the Handlebar Pack's small size limits its opening. The reviewer notes that Evoc advertises the Handlebar Pack as waterproof, while its material and design appear to support that claim. The reviewer fitted the Handlebar Pack in less than a minute without instructions, using its central BOA dial to secure the bag.
Despite filling the space between the levers, the smaller Handlebar Pack did not hinder riding or rub the reviewer's knuckles on the tops. The reviewer found the Handlebar Pack well suited to jackets, gloves, and arm warmers, but less suitable for rigid items such as pumps.
