Brompton Waterproof Bag Comparison
Brompton Metro Waterproof Large vs Brompton Borough Waterproof Large vs Brompton Ortlieb bag
We had a request - could we compare the features of the Metro (the black one) vs Borough (the blue one) large waterproof bags - we thought we would throw in the previous champion - the O-bag (the Orange one)
The video started out as a comparison of features then we decided to also see how they performed in the rain
So the video has the following parts:
0:00 | Intro
1:10 | Rain test of the waterproof bags
We did an initial test - leaving the bags out on a rainy day ...
Originally (a week earlier) we were going to leave the 3 bags on the 3 bikes - it started raining (for about 5 seconds) then stopped - we were later reminded that leaving the bikes out in the rain could be seen as Brompton abuse!
So - we left them out without bikes
We are uploading an hour of relaxing rainy day Brompton bag video - with a special appearance by our friendly robin
You can see it here (complete with robin)
https://youtu.be/yvserAUP178
Even this gentle rain for an hour showed that the zip on the front of the Metro bag isn't reliably waterproof (or we didn't do it up enough!)
3:57 | Extremely wet rainy day ride test
Then the forecast for the following day was for heavy rain - so we decided to re-do, get wet and give them a real test!
If you would like to see 40 minutes of getting wet riding around local roads - we could also upload that!
5:44 | About the three waterproof bags
6:27 | Rear pockets / storage
All three bags have two rear storage pockets - perfect for a thermos flask or bottle of water
They are all roll top so very waterproof
The Ortlieb winds here - the bags can be removed and used as smaller carry bags away from the Ortlieb mothership!
7:23 | Shoulder Strap
Metro bag - fixed
Borough bag - removable - but a bit fiddly
Ortlieb bag - removable - easily
8:38 | Borough waterproof bag features
Including:
Roll top
Webbing straps on the front for attaching .... stuff
Large (orange) interior
13 inch laptop sleeve
Zip up net pocket inside
10:23 | Metro waterproof bag features
Two fasteners on the front - with different settings
Zip pocket in front flap
Pen holders
Two pockets under the front flap
Orange interior
13 inch laptop sleeve
Zip up net pocket
11:50 | Brompton O bag features
Laptop sleeve with velcro fastener
Keyring holder
Pens holder
Two zip up pockets
Two velcro sealed pockets
13:12 | End
Thanks for watching
13:40 | Outtakes
Sorry - we went wrong on some takes!
