Oxford T8 Handlebar Bag and QR Bracket

What they said:
"The Oxford T-Series T8 Handlebar Bag is a large, rigid bar bag offering a spacious main compartment, a transparent top sleeve, and other features which will help you organise your gear. It requires the Oxford QR bracket, which also ports some of their other bar luggage. Quick Release brackets are an obvious choice for commuting and utility riding, but have a place elsewhere, too."

Pros: price, functionality, size.

Cons: bracket a bit fiddly to fit, technically water-resistant rather than waterproof.

Summary:
The Oxford T8 Bar Bag and associated bracket, is a highly effective bar bag for all kinds of general cycling. The bracket mitigates some of the problems of competition for bar space, whilst offering a secure home for a fully functional bar bag. Whilst I have used it for commuting and leisure riding, there is no reason why I should not go on tour. Eight litres of jelly beans? Well, maybe not, but certainly all those things one needs to hand when hitting the road. Nice price, too.
