This Is the Perfect Bike Bag! | Chrome Kadet Sling Bag Review

The best gear is the gear you don't ever think about. I just realized that I've been using the Chrome Kadet sling bag almost daily for the past five years, and I haven't made a video on it. At 9L, the Chrome Kadet is the perfect size for going out for a day ride. Comfortable, not too sweaty, tough as nails build quality, jam packed with useful features: this is the perfect bike bag.

Best method of reviews of anything. No hyperbole. Nothing more aggravating than watching a reviewer stand there for three minutes while the product sits on a table. Thanks for getting right into it. Just bought one.

Can 100% agree, I have my Kadet sling bag for about 4 years and I use it damn near everyday.

As a left handed person my only complaint is the strap isn't ambidextrous. Otherwise everything he said is true. I wear my reversed and it's such a great bag. I'm the second owner and it's still going strong.

Long time listener, thanks for the suggestion... I've used a Citizen bag for maybe 13 years. I had a Kadet come in the mail today. Thanks again, good work on pushing pedals

This was the greatest review of the Chrome sling bag!Thank you.

[finalbattle]

glad to know you are still around zach

I couldn’t agree more. Been using my Kadet constantly since it first came out. So freakin’ handy. It even makes for a decent DSLR camera bag in a pinch.

I have the kadet for about a month and I never regretted it.

[rlbink]

Yep, am rockin the Kadett. It is excellent for the daily and commutes on and off the bike. Even stuck an iPad Air in there. Snug but no problems in two-3 years of use.

Great video! I love biking and edc bags so this was a two for two for me. Keep up the good work!

Have had my kadet for years and i love it. It's my go to day travel bag. Ive been looking at getting the new kadet max cause sometimes i do wish i was able to bring my laptop or even just my tablet

I use something similar--the Topo Quick Pack--it feels like it has much less separated space, so I have a frame bag with tools and my bike pump strapped to my frame. The Quick Pack's advantage for me is that its more visible (comes in much brighter colors) and a lot of the webbing and extra bits are great for putting a light on or a lock. I think most Chrome bags are definitely gonna last longer so if folks can afford the Chrome Kadet, they should go for it!

best review for this bag so far on youtube.

I just bought my dream bike! A nitro orange wabi lightning! And having owned a kadet sling for over 4 years now i can agree on most points hes said.

[motaparatu]

I have to keep an extra set of work boots, rain gear for work and a poncho (when riding) extra clothes for cold weather or storms. I also carry a thermos for coffee(I put my lunch on the bike, or my rain boots if it's dry and my lunch goes in my pack.). I have a big military style back pack. I try to carry the heavy stuff on my bike though. I do have a messenger bag but it is not as nice as the one you have.. I use it on weekends sometimes.

I got the light gray one with chrome buckles, I really like it too. I don't have any water bottle mounts so this is necessary for me.

I just bought a Walmart bike but the a super cheap kids bike. And I started watching YouTube videos on bike accessories. And I found your videos and I subscribed and started watching since. I would love it if you would do more bike accessories and attachment videos. I know you like a minimal setup but it’s nice for others who like accessories. I am an accessory maniac. So thanks hope to see some soon

[Stefonewheel]

Thank you for this video. I bought one of my own. Loving it so far.

[quadroff]

Dang, those new handlebars look crazy

[sonymicronin]

Perfect, I’ve actually was just recently wanting to buy a nice bag for biking over my shoddy little backpack
