XLAB 100 Bag, Stealth Pocket

Running this on a Trek Domane SL6. I currently use a saddle bag, which works most of the time. But when I need just that little extra storage space (mainly for protein bars, etc), this Stealth Pocket is perfect. I can fit about 3 bars in there if I kinda cram them in, along with maybe a couple of gel shots. One thing to note is that my bike's top tube is somewhat "flat", so this bag rests nicely on it (it doesn't roll left or right).This is a small bag ... just remember that when purchasing it. It won't hold a phone ... no way.Quality wise zero complaints. Material feels solid, zipper feels durable and the velcro is (if anything) too sticky. It's very difficult to unhook, but I know that's a good thing. The velcro straps are wayyy too long. If you decide to keep this you will definitely want to trim them to match the size of your frame.Great little bag if you need just that little extra space!

I bought the xlab stealth pocket 100 for one purpose - to carry my flat kit. This bag is quite small, but I am able to fit a tube, one CO2 cartridge, 2 tire levers, a micro inflator head, and a mini multi-tool in it. Fitting all that into this little bag is a tight squeeze. If I place my flat kit under my seat (such as using a saddle bag) the xlab stealth pocket 100 could carry a few gels, some cash, and maybe a small phone. I don't think it will fit an iPhone size phone device. There are bigger stem bags out there; but I wanted small, compact, and aero. The straps are long but they are meant to be cut down to fit your top tube. Just don't cut them first and find out you cut too short! I've bought other xlab products and this company makes solid, well-made products. (Like the xlab torpedo... my goodness that is better than any BTA hydration system I've ever used) Back to the xlab stealth pocket 100: Very happy with the construction, fit, and durability. I have nothing negative to say about the xlab stealth pocket 100. Do your research though, as you want to remember it's meant to be small, compact, and aero... so don't expect to fit the kitchen sink in there.FWIW: I use this on my Cervelo P1 triathlon bike. I rack up thousands of miles each year and prefer simple, minimalistic, and purposeful gear over marketing hype.

I've used this on 3 of my triathlons this year and many more to come! I have a Kuota K-factor bike frame with internal cable routing, my shifter cables enter the frame right behind the stem so traditional bags won't work due to the large gap. This bag however can sit right behind the cables and has enough Velcro up front to reach and wrap around the stem. Inside theres enough space for 2 gels and a little side pocket for any small items. I use that side pocket to store my salt pills and has easy access where you don't have to get out of the aero position.I'm giving this 4 stars because as one person mentioned it's hard to zip the bag back up if you've unzipped it all the way down and you risk losing your contents on a bad bump. I simply just don't unzip it all the way down, maybe putting tape at the bottom part of the zipper might be a good temporary fix.

Started using top tube ('bento') bags during my triathlon days and still love 'em for my road riding. Convenient to store gels for easy access while riding. Big enough to hold keys and a few other essentials. Has held up very well over a year's use.

I have a thin profile Cannondale bag that will fit my phone: this isn't it. This bag is to store some gels, cut-in-half waffles, maybe a Skratch pouch or two, on a fast ride where you don't have the leisure of sitting up for a bike picnic. The construction is stiff enough to zip (most of the way) down, access your stuff, and zip back on the fly. You do need to velcro it snug, and as long as you don't zip to the back stop, then closing is not an issue. When I have zipped all the way I can just pinch the bag snug and start the zipper going. The 100 size also means the bag does not get in the way of the pedal stroke. Again, it's not huge, but anything bigger has its drawbacks. FYI: on my Cervelo r3 it is properly blocked behind the stack and is no wider than the top tube profile.

I put a multitube, a TPU tube, a CO2 cartridge and adapter in there and still have room for stuffs like gloves and energy blocks.

Nice little bag and bigger than I expected. Stays in place and decent value for the money.

The 100 is identically sized to the 200, with some differences. The 100 uses velcro straps instead of bolt on, features an inside pocket instead of a shape reinforcer. Without the shape reinforcer, the bag gets some flexibility, but it can get harder to zip. The 200 version is a breeze to zip because of the bolt-on, but the 100 sometimes requires two hands to operate due to lack of bolt-on. However, the bottom is very grippy that it doesn't swing or bounce in any direction. It's roomy enough to carry a few gels, keys, small bills, etc.
