A GuestAwesome, high quality bag, made in Alaska.
This framebag is fantastic. I have an earlier version of Revelate's frame bags on a different bike and the new one has a few small improvements that made a great bag even better.
The small pocket on the left side is great for storing small items you want to keep handy (patch kit, allen wrench etc). The bright fabric on the inside makes it easy to see what is hiding in the deepest corners of the bag.
The new zipper pulls are so nice, easy to use with gloves on, I plan on asking Eric at Revelate if I can get a half dozen for some of my other gear.
I have only tried it on my 1x1, but it looks like this bag will also fit just fine on my CrossCheck and Kona Unit. A definite bonus in my opinion.

A GuestModel purchased was for a 20" (large) Pugsley.
Materials, including zippers, are top notch. Zippers are a little sticky, but sealed, which is a good tradeoff. So far, bag has held out snow, slush, and tire spray during heavy winter use on and off road. Large and heavy velcro attachments have kept heavy loads in place.
The cargo volume of this bag is massive. The interior features a small mesh pocket and divider that can be set up or flattened. The mesh pocket easily holds a set of common tools (multi-tool, tire levers, mini-pump or inflater). The divider will keep a large Nalgene bottle standing up at the seat tube end of the bag. Left side exterior has a second, smaller, pocket, great for extra hat, gloves, tools, snacks.
A typical "adventuring" load for me includes: change of socks, pants, shirt, tools, spare gloves and hat, extra fleece. When commuting, this bag fits my small laptop (thin 13") and change of pants and shirt for work, as well as tools, spare gloves and hat.
Possibly the best accessory I've added to my Pugsley so far.
