Just bought my second.
The large is a nice size. I have stuffed a thin jacket spare tube Co2 etc. and it'll take more. I bought this with the idea of just filling it with the sort of stuff you need but want to forget about in a dry bag, safe and secure and I think it's just the job. I wouldn't want to be in and out all the time but my guess is the clips will last longer than a zip over a few seasons. I have a lot of seat post available so can fit this not all bikes will. I have had to re jig my light display as a result.

Really good quality item that keeps all of the equipment held in it dry. Easily removable when cleaning your bike.

Decent sized saddle wedge bag for longer trips
I was on a solo Oxford-Edinburgh ride (4 days) and travelling very light, so wanted a decent sized wedge bag. This is probably the largest in its class (as far as I found, anyway), and I managed to cram in quite a few life essentials for a longish road trip. Stayed in B&Bs, so just needed credit cards, toothbrush, iPhone and satnav charging leads, a mini Assos cream, couple of inner tubes, CO2, levers, multitool etc etc, and together with stuff in my back pockets this wedge bag did the trick. Completely waterproof. If the closure system was redesigned then I think you could probably fit in almost half as much again... but it doesn't allow any other way of closure other than rolling the flaps a couple of times and using the side clasps. With a bit of thought with an adjustable fastening, I think this could have been made even better. But it does the job. Too big for routine use on a day trip, but a good wedge bag for those longer expeditions. It served me well.

Big and Flexible
It's a bag and you can put things in it!
Fits on easily and so far is very waterproof. Note if your saddle is low on the frame bottom strap will probably not fit, your saddle post needs to have about 20cm of metal exposed.

Good capacity and easy to fit
Very prompt delivery coupled with delivery updates per Royal Mail - excellent feature. Bag is a good size and holds my showerproof jacket, phone, wallet, spare tube & tyre levers. Fit under seat does require a reasonable length of seat tube - mine just fitted. Overall an excellent buy from Wiggle at a very competitive price.

Carries 2 x tubes, levers, multi tool, phone, wallet, and keys with ease. Fabulous.

well built - very solid, the rolls royce option
well built - very solid, the rolls royce option. Utterly waterproof. Would question whether the extra cost above the non-drybag equivalent is really necessary - but this will keep equipment dry in a monsoon

An Underwhelming Product
After reading several reviews commenting on the generous capacity and waterproof qualities of this saddle pack I decided to give it a go. I wanted something that would allow me to carry an inner tube, pump, repair kit and tools around with me at all times with room to spare for the odd extra.
My first issue is with the length of the pack which barely fits my Lezyne mini pump I have to orient it diagonally across the center compromising the remaining space within. The second is with the straps used to fit it although they are quick and simple to adjust they constantly slip causing the pack to move down the seat-post obscuring my rear light.
On the plus side it is 100% waterproof and I prefer clips to zips, considering its location and the need to get at the contents in a hurry. A better fixing, a little more length and perhaps less depth to stop things rattling around would make good improvements. I'll continue to use it although I'll have to find a clip on light and somewhere else for my pump which is not ideal.

Waterproof and well made
Solid construction, easy to remove and fit on other bikes (unlike those with brackets). About the right size for me. Big enough to fit a phone, a couple of bars, 2 inner tubes, levers, small multitool.
It looked like it would hold a little more volume than this in the picture but you wont get much more than that in there.
It is waterproof though, and you can open it quickly enough.

Great dry bag
Good for those weekend rides when you need a bit of kit, a jacket, inner-tube, pump, food, loads of room....
Good in bad weather

great useful bag
great for carrying tools, a spare tube, wallet and smartphone, material is water proof, my wife uses hers to carry a chain and lock

Great bit of kit, haven't tested to destruction in the rain yet, but can't see it leaking as so well thought out.
Attaching to the bike is a bit of a chore, but once done works a treat.

Well built, great bag for a good price
First I was bit worried about ordering the Large size as other reviews described it as bulky. However, I didn't find it bulky at all. The bag is quite sleek and slim, but deep and spacious with 2 mesh pockets inside.
Easily fits tools, CO2 inflators, inner tube, phone, wallet, and a Montane jacket.
Waterproof? It survived a shower very well.
Only downside some can find it too deep and narrow especially if you have big/bulky hands.

Top bananas!!!
The critical thing about this wedgie is that it just the right size for an inner tube, your phone, a mars bar and a couple of bananas. There is a loop at the back for a rear light in order to warn motorists away from running over your valuable banana stash.

Big bag, definitely waterproof
Caught in a heavy downpour on the way home today, contents stayed dry as a bone.
Bit fiddly to fit depending on how much seat post you have exposed, might restrict the use of lights although there is a strap at the back to clip a light on to.
Would use something smaller for a training ride/race with a waterproof phone bag instead, but for work commutes it's very handy. Overall a good score depending on how long it lasts for.

High quality saddle bag
A superb saddle bag that is completely waterproof and can hold various items.

Great value bag
Waterproof, spacious, not too bulky and carries all the kit you'd need for a sportive or long day's ride. Avoids placing heavier tools etc in your pockets. Hard to fault.

Sturdy and keeps things dry, but BIG!
When it says large, it means it! Was far too big for me, so returned in favour of a medium, which is so far doing its job brilliantly.

Perfect
This saddlebag is the perfect size for me, I can fit a inner tube, multitool, phone, small lifesystems medical kit, puncture repair fir, 2x hand warmer, batteries for garmin and tyre levers! I tested it in a downpour today and it was excellent and kept everything bone dry!

The big dry.
Dry, easy to fit/remove , and bigger than anticipated. Puts me in mind of a bucket. Bought it for commuting, but for extended MTB touring, it means more weight under the seat, and less on your back. Very pleased with it.

Perfect saddle bag for my touring bike great quality, waterproof.

Good Value for Money
This product is good value for money. It has plenty of room to contain essentials.
Please note - the product is wider than you might expect. Also, fitting the item to your seat-post requires a minimum exposure of the seat-post to fasten correctly.

Great saddle bag
Performed as expected, water proof and keeps all the things I've wanted to. Quality materials that is made to last, highly recommended.

Great bag for long rides.
Have been using a medium Drybag for just over a year now which has been shared used between MTBing and for Audax rides and it has done everything that you expect a drybag to do. Just stepping up to the Large one to be able to carry that little extra for Audax rides 300km and over.
The velcro and clip system on the opening is very secure and gives confidence that nothing will go wrong or come undone.
The strap system works well and allows easy swapping between bikes, but I have been taping up the seatpost to avoid it being scratched.
