Topeak Weatherproof Dynawedge Bike Saddlebag Review - feat. Waterproof + Center Zipper + Velcro

Topeak’s new Weatherproof DynaWedge saddle bag combines a sleek form factor with a fully waterproof construction to keep your gear dry. This is a saddlebag that’s designed for minimalist cyclists who want to optimize their aerodynamics while still offering enough capacity to carry useful tools. In this review we’ll be looking at the $ large size variation which offers capacity. As the name implies, this is a fully waterproof saddle bag that’s constructed from 210 and 420 denier nylon along with a polyurethane coated zipper. Visually, the DynaWedge has a unique narrow form factor that tucks underneath saddles with a centered zipper for accessing the contents. The DynaWedge uses a simple hook and loop strap design for mounting. There is a Velcro loop on the rear that wraps around a seat post and two velcro “wings“ on the top of that bag that wrap around the saddle rails. Given the lightweight of the bag, the mounting design is convenient and prevents the bag from swaying. Unlike some of Topeak’s other bags like the Topeak SideKick Wedge, there are no accommodations for using the Topeak Duo Fixer saddle mounting system. In fact, the centered zipper design also means there is no rear fabric hook for attaching tail lights. One of the unique design features of the DynaWedge is the centered zipper design. Topeak has utilized a single center zipper that extends from the rear and all the way to the back of the bag to access the contents. This design eliminates the more bulky traditional U shaped or dual zipper designs found on other bags. There is also a mesh liner on the bottom of the bag to ensure nothing falls out when you unzip the bag. Once you fully unzip the zipper you can stretch the bag to see everything inside it. Unfortunately, Topeak has utilized an all-black interior instead of the high-viz yellow found in some of their other bags like the Burrito Pack. That means it’s difficult to see inside the bag particularly if you have smaller items. ...
