Not durable September 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This bag lasted for me less then a month before first tear on the bottom seam started showing. It couldn't hold a 4ft cable lock and basic tire repair kit, with total weight of 1-1.5 lb, using on city streets.
The whole design of holding strap seamed to very thin type of fabric (I wouldn't dare call it a "ballistic nylon" because of it's thickness, otherwise it sure looks like it) is a flaw. There are no reinforcements of any sorts and all the stress from content weight is in two places: where sides seamed to the bottom, straight down from where straps is sewed to the sides.
Since it has hard plastic insert, which covers top and bottom of the bag, one would expect that it would participate in holding the bag together, but it doesn't, it only uses to preserve the shape of the bag.
If the designers would put an reinforcement strap from side to side that runs across the bottom of the bag it would be perfect and much more durable.
I realize that the problem I had maybe due to defective item or maybe I didn't let the top straps relax and made them little too tight. I will check that with my next bag which won't be made by BELL.
The bottom line - I would not recommend this bag for more then carrying a large cookie in it (my apology to the the previous reviewer for this sarcastic analogy)
 functional, but disappointing September 15, 2008
I bought two of the Bell STowAways. One at a local retailer for my husband, and one from Amazon. The StowAway from the retailer attaches to the seat with a screwed on connector. Very nice and secure. The Amazon one has velco and has come loose on SEVERAL rides.
 Bell stowaway bag September 15, 2008
This bag is a great size and easy to put on the bike. I can hold everything I need and have extra room. I also found them at Wal-Mart and Target for the about the same price.
 One Flaw September 5, 2008
As some other reviewers have pointed out, this bag does have one flaw. The two velcro straps at the top are hard to get around the little bars on the bottom of the seat, which can cause it to droop a little. Just zip tie the bag into place and there shouldn't be a problem. It has room enough for a patch kit, multi-tool, keys, cable lock, etc...
