Uraltour Bags

[jimmybagadonuts]

Anyone have any info on these bags/company? Google not turning up much. Not a bad looking bag for the price. Also makes seat bags as well.

me and some of the other guys over on UKFATBIKEs have some on order , we will update with a wee review once they arrive.

I figured for the cash they were worth a punt.

Got a 20" frame bag and a seat bag on their way

^^That^^
And i'm probably going to use the seatbag only a few times a year, so i dont want to spend to much on it.

Also ordered a seatpack to see what they're like (for the money)

So I realize I will look like a shill due to a very low post count, but I figure I should reply because I just received my uraltours frame bag. He shipped it almost immediately (to the point I was suspicious, this being a custom bag) but it took over a month between Russian Post saying 'shipped to US' and me receiving it.

It fits my Salsa Fargo XL perfectly. I asked for a reflective strip and two compartments separated horizontally with a velcro divider, and it's exactly what I requested. I don't have a fancy one for comparison, but I imagine this is not nearly as nice as the fancy ones. It doesn't have YKK zippers, it doesn't have flaps over the zips to keep out water, etc, but I'm sure he'd do that if requested.

Based on this unit, I'll be buying more from him. If I were going on the GDR, I'd probably have everything done custom with custom materials and custom compartments and all that jazz. For my light bikecamping needs, this bag is more than enough.

Pros: Amazing price and very quick turnaround. Product is exactly what I requested. Good quality, very nice stitching and cutting, nicely finished edges even on the velcro straps. Looks to be quite durable. He was very good about confirming every detail via email. Sent photos of finished unit and packaging, sent tracking #.
Cons: Slow international postal service. Wish I had requested a third downtube strap. Wonder about zipper quality, but have no basis for concern other than unrecognized brand.

It does look worth a punt. Did anyone get their seat bags yet?

I am curious about this operation as well. I communicated with him/them briefly with a question but wasn't ready to pull the trigger. But he was very prompt in his reply. And the prices are great! Considering a seatbag...

I ordered and received his seat bag, and I am quite impressed with it. No frills, bells, or whistles, just a simple nice bag in a heavy duty fabric (won't win an weight weenies awards). Fits my bike well and seems to carry a load well, although I have not given it a good test yet. Comes with a rain cover as well. Stitching and seam work is top notch.

Took a long while to get here (30+ days) but communication was great and the cost can't be beat.

I recommend him, and probably will order some more gear. Just be prepared to wait a bit on the delivery.

I ordered and received his seat bag...... bla,bla,bla....

Exactly what Jimmy said.
And for 1/4 of the price (EU prices) of a Revelate Designs Viscacha, i think it's a great deal if you only have to use it a few times a year.

i just recived a full set of bags from ural...
nothing but praise at how they can produce custom bags at that price
id get in quick if you are after some good bags at damn cheap prices cause i dare say they will go up in price

[Rabies010]

Nice set !
Can you show and tell a bit more about the handlebar harness ?

[emp?]

it has 2 straps over the bars and then another strap that i guess goes around the stem?
im still not 100% sure and havent really tired that hard to sort it out, the mounting of the handlebar bag is prob the only thing that may be an issue for me

[Rabies010]

Maybe you can post some pics ?
Some are attached to the crown of the fork.

I've just ordered a seatbag based on this thread - i'll let you know my thoughts once received.

I too just pulled the trigger for a four bag set.....before I thought to check here for reviews. Glad to see the responses are positive. "Mike" at Uraltour has been very responsive to me too....just let me know the bags will be done in four days. Keep in mind that the top tube bag, the frame bag and handle bar bag are custom made.....to ANY dimension you want....height or width. Very cool....these are not cookie cutter bags. I was nervous at first....thought that I might be throwing money away on a scam.....but feel much better now. I also googled Perma, Russia and read up on the city....very interesting.....dang....it's cold here in winter, but nothing like Perma Russia. These people are obviously pros when it comes to living and working in frigid temperatures.
Will post a follow up when the bags arrive.
