Decent bar bag that will keep thing dry, but suffers from some movement when riding and a too-short zip
The Z Adventure F2 bar bag is a pretty spacious and usable product. It is made of a tear-resistant polyester and has an IPX4 waterproof rating; this doesn't include the zip, which is only water repellent, but its position on the front of the bag instead of the top means it is a little less exposed to the elements.
To combat this, Zefal has included a bungee cord and drawstring, and the images on the Zefal website show it wrapped around the stem, but it doesn't work very well. I prefer designs with a Velcro strap that wraps around the head tube or steerer, which works better in my experience. You can, though, thread it around your steerer and tighten it – though it doesn't seem to be designed to do that. It's one big loop rather than effectively two like you get with Restrap's Canister, but you can tie it down in much the same way, and it does then reduce movement quite effectively, though still not as well as a Velcro strap in my opinion.
