All I can speak to is personal experience, but I've never had mine come loose or unroll. I could see how, if you tried to overpack it, that might happen, but it hasn't happened to me.
What saddle bag do you guys recommend these days?

I am a big Silca fan boy... so I am biased.. that said Silca has a new bag the Mattone that is zipped closed I would take a look at that ...I think that if the Premio is packed right and the boa is tight it's not going to come unrolled mine never has and I have had it since it was introduced.

Thanks for the feedback.
It makes me feel better hearing from individuals that have had problem free experience.
I doubt I'd over pack but what are your thoughts on the Grande Americano as an option for those who want extra storage for longer rides?
Thanks also.uraqt wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 5:14 pm@Mikedb

I was thinking that some of those complaints were user error.
It's nice to hear positive feedback from long term use.
Yeah that Mattone definitely has my interest. I'm going to try and get my hands on one as soon as possible.
I have used silca premio for several months. I picked up it due to its appearance. Those complaints on coming loose or unrolling would happen if you overpack it or pack it in a wrong way. I usually have a 19 in 1 mini tool, a pack of maxalami, three tire levera and a tube in it. The first several days with it was a nightmare, as it always unrolled itself on bumpy/gravel road. It's a bit tricky to find a right way to pack my stuff, but once I got it right, it keeps very stable. The downside is its weight. Too much material used.
I do agree with alanyu, the bag part is super over done... I think it's going to last forever, that said I kind of think that is what Silca was going for... I have sugested that Silca make a "light weight" bag that is designed to fit their tools. I think it would be great to offer a bag that held the T-Ratchet + Ti-Torque and the pocket IMPERO.

That bag looks like they just ripped off Velocolour's design.uraqt wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 5:14 pm@Mikedb

I'm interested in your bag, but has anyone actually got a production model yet, some reviews would be good, also on your web site there is no link to buy, is this intentional?survivor wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:38 amRefresher

Based on this thread I ordered a Speed Sleeve. I am very happy with it and it holds much more than expected. I would buy another.

We started shipping product to backers at the end of June. Most backers should already received their saddle bag by now except for a few that are in countries which international shipment is still a challenge. There are some initial impression updates on the Kickstarter page from some of the backers who received their product. We are working to launch our online store but it is not yet ready for now. Having said that if you are interested we could process a purchase through PayPal.
