It holds just what I need for a ride and adds a touch of vintage class to my setup.”The Challenge Saddle Bag 0. 5L carries tools and Brooks' tradition.

Tucked neatly beneath the saddle, it fastens securely with an internal buckle system that keeps your tools in place while eliminating exterior bulk.
