Hope you all enjoy the video! New camera and microphone as well which you may notice throughout the video (Spot the dead mouse 🐭😂) On a serious note, though, we love these bags since using them so if you have any questions about them let us know.
I would prefer the basket bag as it is both open during shopping and can easily be closed during cycling, so items don’t fall out. I’m new to the idea of Wotoncraft, so thanks for showing this.
Nice bags. I have mounted a milk crate to the front with an aftermarket block and some aluminum mounting plates. This is a work in progress as I will be adding a lid so it can be un-mounted and used as a chair.
It's great to see the video and audio quality has improved a lot. Also the editing and overall vibe is great. With regarda to the bags, they look nice and well made. I might check them out if and when I need new Brompton-compatible bags.
Totally agree. Personally I think thats the best thing about them as well. Plus the look of them which I think is more in keeping with the style of the Brompton overall compared to the T-Bag. 👍
Thanks Nicholas. Glad you enjoyed it! The basket bag is clever how it works. Will definitely get some use out of it and handy for later in the year when the weather gets a bit wetter 👍
Think when I worked it out with the cost was a bit less than the Brompton bags, although like you said Kimberley, the frame is an extra. But I suppose if you have the frame already it could save a bit of money? Looking online, I know the exchange rate fluctuates, but for the Large bag and frame as an extra it would cost £130.04 compared to a similar size Brompton bag at £135 so a little bit less. If you already had the frame it would be a bit less. Think if I had to do it again I would have brought these instead of the Brompton T-Bag just because I can change it around more. Yeah the colours are nice which I really like about them as well. 😀
Cracking video - thanks… and apologies, I don’t seem to be getting notifications so I’ve missed a few 🙈! Like the look of the bags and will check them out for sure - hope there’s a shoulder strap! Take care out there 😁
Hi Amanda! Glad to hear from you 😀 and that you enjoyed the video. Nice bags and alternative to the Brompton ones. Yeah there is a shoulder strap as well and it’s really comfortable as well 👍
Don't be concerned about putting shopping in a "T bag". Take comfort in a clear conscious. Really good bag ideas, the Basket roll top addition is my favourite. Added a mesh top to mine B Basket, and side popper tabs to keep it closed when empty. Now will add a roll top, greater capacity and weather protection. Thanks for the vlogs Take care
Definitely agree that I have no concerns carrying shopping in the t-bag from shops. The only thing that concerns me about the t-bag when shopping is putting the shopping in before I paid for it. So using it as a shopping basket when shopping. I prefer the basket bag for putting shopping in when going around the shop as it is easier to put things in and take them out to pay as well. Plus like you said, with the cover built in to this one it is great for any weather. Not sure if the Brompton basket bag has that feature?
Hello I collect my first Brompton on Tuesday in London. I’m very excited. I need to carry a couple of 25mm thick 2kg samples that measure 36cm wide x 33cm high. Please can you let me know either the dimensions of these two Wotancraft bags and indeed if you think these samples will fit. Thanks.
Really like all of the bags from them that I have tried. Wish I had known about them before, as think in terms of style and look they are better than the Brompton ones. Not used my metro bag since I had these 👍
Love the large expandable bag... where from I can get the bag? I am in Europe... when I click the link on your video it directed me to taiwan site and USD prices....
Great video. Do you know if I can use the basket bag with existing brompton bag frame I already own. Meaning can I simply swipe out the bags without having to purchase a new frame? Thanks.
The frames will swap out. Just need to make sure it’s the same dimensions though but the measurements are on the Wotancraft website. They are the same size frames though 👍
Thanks. I think the straps would fit either side of the quad lock as they are adjustable so think it would work, although I don’t have the quad lock so couldn’t say for definite unfortunately
@@mdkhoi28 I hadn't considered that but thats a great idea! I have just had a look and if you have a light with a clip on it you can slide it through the military style strap, so yes you can do that and think I will do it on mine so thanks for the idea! 👍
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it! Just got a new camera, which is the DJI Osmo Pocket which has been great for this video. Much easier than the last set up I had and much more stable when on the bike. Plus it is now 4k which makes a big difference as well! 👍
@@TM-vg4mx This DJI wouldn't be good for that then as it is not waterproof. However I think I might be getting an Insta 360 delivered sometime next week and plan to do a behind the scenes video on it which might be interesting for you? Think the insta 360 would be good as waterproof and lots of mounting options as well.
Hi, yes I am in the UK but I don’t think there is a store you can buy from here. You order them and they deliver to the UK. You would need to take the exchange rate into account though 👍
for the expandable bag do you think its good to use a commuting bag to fit spare clothes, spare tube? is the expandable bag in your review the 12L bag?
Not sure the size but it would definitely be good for some clothes and a tube. I currently have a first aid kit, toolkit, tube, foldable rucksack and keep my lights in it when I fold the Brompton up so quite big. It is shower proof, so might be worth putting any clothes in a bag but think it would work all right.
I think mine is the medium version, which is big enough for my laptop and things for work. Don’t use any other bag on a daily basis. Worth checking the size though to make sure it is big enough to fit everything in for you 👍😀
Hi Nora. Thanks for asking! I am literally uploading a new video tomorrow. Haven't uploaded anything for a while due to waiting on the Brompton getting fixed! Only just got it back since the last video due to waiting for spares from Brompton. ☹
I think if you are only buying one bag to use everyday, and use the Brompton regularly then it is worth the money, as sometimes cheaper ones break and rip easily, so end up buying another one which costs the same as buying a more expensive one to start with. Definatley find these Wotancraft ones very good. Use it everyday to work all year round and not had any problems. But if you don't use the Brompton daily, or only occasionally, it is probably not investing in a more expensive bag, as a cheaper alternative will last due to not being used as much 👍
Last time I checked it worked out to be the same if not cheaper than an official Brompton bag, although I know the exchange rates have changed recently 👍
Why don't you mention prices of things you review. You spend so much energy making videos but you do not tell us the important thing is the price of these bags
One of the main reasons Ray is that the price changes of products all of the time. What I always do instead is add the links in the description so it is really easy for everyone to check out the cost by clicking the link. That way you always have the up to date cost, as someone may watch this video one year from now and the cost will probably be significantly different 👍
@@CycleEveryday i know the prices change but if you give a price down then we get an idea of the price then i can decide to go on the website link or not. If the prices changes that is not your responsibility. You are only informing of the current prices at the time of this video. If you reviewing products then you must mention prices otherwise your review will be incomplete. I only click on product description if the prices are within my budget

Thanks! Glad that you think the videos are getting better which is nice to know! Worth checking out like you say when you need a new one! 👍
I've been coveting these bags for a while now! I love how you can attach the bags to each other and reconfigure your set up. Thanks for the review.
Totally agree. Personally I think thats the best thing about them as well. Plus the look of them which I think is more in keeping with the style of the Brompton overall compared to the T-Bag. 👍
Great video, thanks. My favourite was the basket bag for its ingenious fold out/roll top cover. Clever!
Thanks Nicholas. Glad you enjoyed it! The basket bag is clever how it works. Will definitely get some use out of it and handy for later in the year when the weather gets a bit wetter 👍
Bag is The one of The most important needs,...Great Video,.. Nice Brompton,..Keep on Cycling Mate,..😊👍
Thank you. Appreciate it. Yeah we think getting the right bag is just as important as the bike itself in the long run. 👍
Absolutely brilliant design on these
Definitely look better on the Brompton than the Brompton bags I think 👍
Expensive though especially as the bag frame is an extra cost. I like the colour.
Think when I worked it out with the cost was a bit less than the Brompton bags, although like you said Kimberley, the frame is an extra. But I suppose if you have the frame already it could save a bit of money?

Love that a new Brompton creator is in the Midlands 💪🏾
Thanks Miles! Yeah the accent kind of gives it away a bit 😂
Hahaha it’s all love @@CycleEveryday I’m only down the road so hopefully catch you about one day 😊
Yes you probably will! If you see me around shout out! On the Brompton most days 👍

Thanks Anthony. Been using these bags all the time and really like them. 👍
Excellent film. Thanks
Thanks Jonathan! Appreciate it 👍
I find it mad how wonton Croft manage to get a modern fabric like cordura look nice and classy like waxed cotton with a nice patina
Really like all of the bags from them that I have tried. Wish I had known about them before, as think in terms of style and look they are better than the Brompton ones. Not used my metro bag since I had these 👍
Hi. I enjoy watching your video review. Thanks for doing this. I have a question about the expandable L bag. Can it fit Mac book air 13.3"?
Love the large expandable bag... where from I can get the bag? I am in Europe... when I click the link on your video it directed me to taiwan site and USD prices....

The frames will swap out. Just need to make sure it’s the same dimensions though but the measurements are on the Wotancraft website. They are the same size frames though 👍
great walkthrough and demo! is there a way to fit the stem bag while using a brompton quadlock on the M/H handlbars?
Thanks. I think the straps would fit either side of the quad lock as they are adjustable so think it would work, although I don’t have the quad lock so couldn’t say for definite unfortunately
@@CycleEveryday thanks for replying! the saddle bag looks the part too! is there any way to attach any lightnings on it instead on the seatpost?
@@mdkhoi28 I hadn't considered that but thats a great idea! I have just had a look and if you have a light with a clip on it you can slide it through the military style strap, so yes you can do that and think I will do it on mine so thanks for the idea! 👍
@@CycleEveryday thanks for trying it out and confirming. glad to be of suggestions too! :)
@@mdkhoi28 No worries. Hopefully its helped! 👍😀
great video, which camera you are using? I like the stem one, thanks.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it! Just got a new camera, which is the DJI Osmo Pocket which has been great for this video. Much easier than the last set up I had and much more stable when on the bike. Plus it is now 4k which makes a big difference as well! 👍
@@CycleEveryday yes looks great, looking to buy a bike camera just for safety, I am between gopro and 360 go 2. Great videos as always

Are you from the UK? The bags are all in usd etc so is there a uk store to purchase them from?
Hi, yes I am in the UK but I don’t think there is a store you can buy from here. You order them and they deliver to the UK. You would need to take the exchange rate into account though 👍
@@CycleEveryday ah bugger
Was hoping there was an alternative method. So shipping costs I'll have to factor in also
Thanks for the review btw
No worries. Best bags I have used for the Brompton so far though. Only use these since having them and last well with everyday use 👍
for the expandable bag do you think its good to use a commuting bag to fit spare clothes, spare tube? is the expandable bag in your review the 12L bag?
Not sure the size but it would definitely be good for some clothes and a tube.

Hi for the Pioneer bag may i ask did you get M or the L version of it?
I think mine is the medium version, which is big enough for my laptop and things for work. Don’t use any other bag on a daily basis. Worth checking the size though to make sure it is big enough to fit everything in for you 👍😀
All ok,we haven’t heard from you in a while????
Hi Nora. Thanks for asking! I am literally uploading a new video tomorrow. Haven't uploaded anything for a while due to waiting on the Brompton getting fixed! Only just got it back since the last video due to waiting for spares from Brompton. ☹
these days even though the bags are nice they are expensive. Not as a rip from Brompton but still too high for most people IMHO.

@@CycleEveryday point taken.
Sorry bit no normal person can aford a wotancraft bag, not even the basket bag because it is already 129$ +89$ for the frame
Last time I checked it worked out to be the same if not cheaper than an official Brompton bag, although I know the exchange rates have changed recently 👍
