The Arkel Taco is a compact, weather resistant top tube bag designed for quick access to essentials. With a non-slip strap, it stays secure on any ride. The water-resistant YKK zipper and durable construction protect your gear, while the wide-opening design allows for one-handed access. A dedicated cable port lets you route a charging cable from a battery pack inside the bag. Compatible with most top tubes, including bolt-on mounts and a TPU strap, the Taco is perfect for bikepacking and touring trips.

I used it for a 4 days trip in California.
Very solid.
I only used the screw-on, but I really appreciate the possibility to use straps that are supplied with the product.
Nice colors, matching with seat packer and burrito bag. I recommend !
