[RBW] Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

2018-05-21 Thread Lynn Creamer
I am a new owner of a Banana Sack and it has far exceeded my expectations. I 
love it. I’m able to fit my phone, glasses, a Ball pint size jar of oatmeal, a 
jacket, and have room for more. Its brilliantly designed. I never worry about 
anything falling out.

[RBW] Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

2018-05-09 Thread Deacon Patrick
In my use of the scottish waxed canvas Riv uses, and a variety of their 
designs, I’ve never had a water entry issue that wasn’t my fault for leaving 
the bag open without cover as I loaded or unloaded it in a downpour or 
whiteout. Otherwise they’ve withstood days of near solid though varied rain and 
snow bikepacking and day riding. I now lean over the bags to access them in wet 
conditions or find a tree that isn’t yet dripping or things just get a bit wet. 
They’d get wetter if I had the bag in a bag in a bag set up recommended, and my 
stuff is designed to be happy when wet anyway. Still, I prefer it dry, and dry 
it remains.

With abandon,
Patrick

2018-05-09 Thread Joe Bernard
Riv's bag section says all of them are made from waterproof waxed cotton. Will 
your stuff stay dry on a rain ride? Probably. Will it stay dry if the bag sits 
outside all day getting drenched? Possibly not. I have a rain cover for a 
smallish bag Riv sold me years ago and I never used. If I find it and you want 
it, I'll mail it to you.

Is banana sax waterproof?
Stuff stay dry inside during/after rains?

The Banana holds more stuff, but XS has the more secure and easier to use 
zipper if that matters to you. For 14 bucks more I prefer the Banana Sax, but 
they're both great bags.

Banana sax is more accessible than the xs.  I’ve found the xs can be a little 
challenging to get stuff out of.

[RBW] Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

2018-05-08 Thread Tim Bantham
I have a banana Dax and I love it. I use it in place of a wedge style bag when 
I am just out for a ride. It has larger capacity then the x-small Sackville but 
less than the small. As far as small stuff falling out I don’t feel there is 
much risk of that. I put my multi-tool and tire irons in a ziplock along with 
tubes. Every else is jammed in as needed. You can overstuff it because it has 
the nice toggle closure on the inside as well as the outer flap. I find it to 
be extremely useful for when out just riding. Way better then those tiny wedge 
bags.

There's a top and bottom sleeve that fits a wallet and phone tightly, plus a 
toggle closure thingy that closes over the big pocket, then another toggle 
thingy which pulls the lid down tight. These toggles have an adjuster to snug 
them up good, nothing is going to fall out. I have a Banana Sax, I love it, go 
buy one right now!

[RBW] Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

2018-05-08 Thread Lum Gim Fong
Looks like the opening angle and lid are oriented on saddle mounting to 
where things could fall out unless there is something to stop that that I 
am not seeing in the rivbike pics.
The lid doesn't look so precise as to stop allen wrenches or some other 
small stuff from falling out.

Any reviews and experience? Otherwise looks like an awesome saddle bag! 
Curious because I might get one!
