I just ordered and received my new Arkel small sized handlebar bag. It appears to be very well built, has a water resistant outer construction, and very importantly has a "waterproof" inner liner that is also removable for whatever reason you may have to. Some people use the space between the layers to store some small items separately from the main area. There's also a good sized pocket on the front where additional items can be stored, but it's only water resistant, it does not have the waterproof liner of the main compartment. However, if desired, a waterproof rain-cover is also offered as an accessory purchase, which will prevent rain from being able to soak items placed in the outside pocket.

To me this is the best overall designed handlebar bag available, and I'm glad I bought it. I'll be installing it in the next few days. I also purchased an additional mounting kit to fit to one of my other bikes so I can use the bag on whichever one I happen to be using at the time.
