The problem with the Ostrich bag is that it opens the wrong way which makes it a little harder to get stuff out while you're riding. I'm telling ya, if you want a good HB bag get a Berthoud, everything is well thought out. They're great. While I can rave about the Berthoud HB bag, I can't rave about their decaulers. The problem is that the GB decaulers are all too long and seem to push the bag out further than it needs to go. VO has a headset spacer decauler which is nice but that has problems too depending on your stem length and height.
