I used the frontloader paired with the Heaphy Harness for TA 2020. In it, I stored my spork, spare food (usually about a box of muesli bars, some beef jerky, sandwich if I could find one), sunscreen, bug spray, TA book, and a small dry bag for my electronics such as a small battery bank. The frontloader pairs nicely with Heaphy harness, wraps pretty snug around the dry bag that I mounted on the harness and fits a suprising amount of stuff in there. During the 21 days of riding, I only had 3 days of rain so a bit fortunate. The bag is not waterproof so I didn't stick anything in there that would be an issue if it rained (and if I did it had its own small dry bag). When it did rain, things would get a bit wet but I was not phased with what was in there. Access is easy, zips seems to be of good quality (unlike my non-Stealth top tube bag, which I bought a week before the TA, and by Nelson I had to buy a new one because the zip seams ripped and I had an open bag!) and easy access while riding. Note I was able to still get food in/out with the harness and frontloader mounted on aerobars on a flatbar, full sus mountain bike. Good to support local and someone who clearly cares about quality hand made kit. I'll be using this for more adventures to come.
