All other stem bags either have an open top (mesh) or square shaped and a little large which have turned me away from them. This one's just right! Fits my phone (iphone), keys and gel pak and the aero look is pretty sleek, get compliments on it all the time. Mainly got it because it's water proof to protect from sweat and unpredictable Florida afternoons!

Having storage easily within reach while riding is great. I also like the fact that the zipper closes towards the rider instead of away like some other models. This FuelBox isn't that large though; once I put my cell phone and keys in it there is not much room left for food, only 1-2 energy bars but I knew this when ordering. Its nice that it doesn't get in your way since it is small.

The only bad thing about this is it doesn't fit my Trek bike properly due to the placement of the straps that wrap around the top tube. Because of this the FuelBox doesn't stay put as much as I like and can move around a little.

This is very well made but I should have paid closer attention to the size. It is suitable to racing or to cruises around the neighborhood that call for a wee snack mid-way. Otherwise, it's silly. It's too small for a half a sandwich, let alone a small lunch.

There are a few things I like about the aero fuelbox compared to the standard fuelbox: 1) I love the color. Hibiscus Pink is much brighter than the normal pink offered for the standard fuelbox; 2) It is much easier to pull the zipper down to close the fuelbox; on the other styles, you have to pull the zipper away from you, which is awkward, especially if you're trying to close the hatch while still biking; 3) The aero fuelbox has a tacky surface on the bottom to keep it from sliding around on the top tube.

I don't care much about the aerodynamic feature. I'd rather have more space for goodies. In that respect, the aero feature is a little bit of a disadvantage.

It fit keys (w/ Swiss Tech MPCSSS-EX Micro Plus EX 9-in-1 Key Ring Tool Kit) and trifold wallet, or phone (Nokia 5800) and trifold wallet with a tight fit. Nothing more. It was very affordable though. I didn't expect it to be spacious but if it were internally a 1/2 in. wider 1/2 in taller and 1 in. longer it would have been perfect. (Uh, Don't read into that statement! =)

I picked up the Fuel Belt Aero after looking at the options available on Amazon, as it looked the best on my bike. The only downside is its small size - and I mean small. It comfortably fits 2 packets of Nature Valley granola bars and that's about it. Actually, right now I've got a tiny bottle of chain oil in there as well, but had to crush one packet of granola bars in order to make it fit; even then, it's bursting at the seams.

The other good thing about this particular tote is the zipper is properly placed. What I mean is, if you have it mounted on your stem, and had to get something out mid-ride, you open it by zipping up towards your stem and closed by zipping it down towards the seat post.

This is a great addition to my Lemond road bike, and now I don't have to buy one of those overpriced jerseys just to get the back pocket. The only quibble I have is the oversize logo on the side. But at least it's reflective so it has some practical value.

Totally worth the price. Just gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it really can't be attached that firm and will move a little on you. And the zippers work smoothly which was important to me. I would recommend this.

I needed a little extra space to carry items on a week long ride and this was perfect. Good size but aeronomically sound too. I carried items that I wanted to keep dry and handy in this box and was pleased with it.

listed Product Dimensions: 11.3 x 9.8 x 3 inches I think must have included the straps unvelcroed because my measurements were more like 8x5 long and 2 inches wide... my measurement included velcro straps looped as it came, so your cargo space is more like 6x3x2(even less when you consider the sloped design), I was able to fit my small camera,and phone but nothing else.
