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.
