I use this when I need to just carry a few odds and sods - puncture repair, bottle of water, snacks, another layer. Perfect size for when I don’t need a top box. I have a givi top box, this fits well to the givi plate, but am sure it would work well on the standard plate.

Having been on here recommending the Givi UT813, disappointed to report that the zip gave up at the weekend. 2.5 years old and it has a 2 year warranty. Luckily have my old Kappa tailbag still, but it is slightly smaller, has no internal smaller pockets and is more fiddly to attach and unattach.

So have been trawling again looking for a replacement with no luck so far.

that's a shame about the zip but seems to be something I am hearing more about with Givi bags. Is it feasible to get the zip repaired?

I have a Kappa (Givi sister brand) tanklock bag, bought in 2015, which has been used frequently on 4 bikes. Still in very good condition, so something has happened to quality in the last few years maybe?

Possibly, I’ve tried all sorts of fiddling and manipulation to get it working again but no luck. Will look into a professional repair.

the cost might be prohibitive. I paid £40 for a new zip in a Hein Gericke Goretex jacket (bought in 2002 when they made top notch gear and still my everyday jacket at home around ten years after the repair).
