Firstgear Laguna GPS Tank Bag w/backpack

[loonytuna]

I just got this.

I like the integrated GPS so I can take it with me, the bag zips off and becomes a backpack.

The magnets are really strong and I was able to use the straps for the front.

It's shown in the regular position and expands another 2 inches, but as you can see it's pretty big now. Actually, it looks bigger in the picture than it really is, i'll try to get my son to take a picture later when I go out on the bike.

We all know, storage is always at a premium on the bike so the large size, while not as attractive is a plus for me.

The other window is for a cell phone, ipod etc, I'll probably use it for my SPOT GPS so I remember to turn it off.

I'll ride with this today and let you know if it's in the way, etc.

Boy howdy, it does look big! Let us know how it works out for you.

I rode with the bag on the bike yesterday and was pleasantly surprised, it is big, but not "in the way" at all.

It does not interfere with the bars and once you ride with it for a few miles, it's like it's not there. Except that it gives you a nice place to rest an arm!

I have not tried it with the GPS yet, I'll do that today, but so far I like it.

PS - My wife likes it because she thinks she now has a place to bring more "stuff" .............. NOT!

Don't know about that last part. When the "chief of staff" talks ...

And I thought my Nelson-Rigg bag was big.
