This review is from: Brooks Saddles Challenge Tool Bag (Sports)
I have this saddle bag matched to a b-17 on both my road bikes. I love the look and feel of the real leather - the quality is A-1, top drawer. My reason for 4 star versus 5... the price. These are very expensive. If I hadn't made some money selling other bikes, I don't know that I could have justified the expense.
To others saying they are too small to carry necessary items... I travel light and they work great for that. My essentials:
- Patch kit (I'll limp home and get the new tube there)
- hex wrenches 4,5,6
- 2 tire levers
- small knife with phillips and standard screw drivers in it
- a couple of zip ties
- a small bit of electrical tape
- a small cloth for dealing with greasy chains (lets be civilized)
- Brooks saddle rain cover
All of this fits perfectly in a Challenge bag. All I've ever needed.

old school quality, October 26, 2011
Its a small leather tool pouch that hangs off of a Brooks B17 saddle. It's High quality and wonderfully hand crafted. I have received alot of positive comments about it. Its not as DARK as you may think. I put Proofhide on it and darkened it a little, but it is lighter than my aged B17 saddle.
It is a different leather material than your Brooks saddle, so be prepared for a more supple product than what you may be expecting. It is not the same leather as your saddle!
I love it on my old school Raliegh One Way and I'm sure you will too.
