Even cheaper on their website [ though that may just be without postage]
I cannot really tell what the handlebar bag does or whether it is like a Wildcat or not

Good prices though

Hi, I have a saddle pack from them. It is good value due to the price being so low. However, it isn't the best you can buy. So a good option when the difference between this and one of the known brands is a big factor.

Aprox 4 weeks delivery.

On the sadle pack, the plastic pieces the straps thread through are of the kind that slippage happens. So I need to add some elastic to prevent the continual droop. However, in principle it does the job.

I did buy a cheap generic frame bag too (not from Russia). Quite disapointed. The lack of padding caused rubbing on frame. It taught me why it is often good to pay a bit more.

That said, getting something from Alpkit is a challenge just from a stock point of view.
