What this page can tell you is measured: 170g, $190, and how both sit against every other frame bags product we track.

How it compares
Against the 17 frame bags we hold published specs for.
At 170g the Half Frame Bag is lighter than 10 of 16 alternatives we track. The category median is 198g.
At $190 it undercuts 2 of 16 of them, against a median of $151. That works out at $112 per 100g — above the $69 median for frame bags.
Weight and price come from published specifications. Cost per 100g is a blunt measure — it rewards light gear and says nothing about durability or whether the thing works — so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
