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.

Great! Glad you're happy with your bag. My only hesitancy is the price. I think i purchased my rear ortlieb panniers for less than arkel wants for this h'bar bag. Hence my question about the Lone Peak bag which frankly looks like very nice quality for much less $$$.
