Apidura Racing Handlebar Mini Pack vs Revelate Designs Egress Pocket

Two handlebar bags, measured against each other on the figures that decide whether they work on a bike.

The short answer

The Racing Handlebar Mini Pack takes weight and price; the Egress Pocket takes bar width. Which of those you care about depends on the frame you are fitting it to.

Assembled from the differences below rather than written over them. Every figure is a published measurement or computed from one — nobody here has used either one.

Where they differ

3 of the 3 things we can measure come out differently.

Width across the ends

3.9cm narrower on the Egress Pocket

28cm — needs a 34cm bar
Revelate Designs Egress Pocket
24.1cm — needs a 30.1cm bar

Bar bags are sold on litres and fitted on width. The figure beside each is the narrowest bar it clears with usable room either side for cables and levers — on drop bars that is what rules a bag in or out.

Weight

Empty weight as published. Worth holding against capacity rather than alone — the lighter bag is not the better one if it carries a third less.
