    Comments about Novara Transfer Panniers:

    I commute 20 miles round trip a couple days a week to my office. I had been using a couple of Jandd panniers on a Jandd rack on my old hardtail mountain bike. Because I would remove the panniers arriving at work, remount when headed home, and remove again at home, I got SICK AND TIRED of the awful hook & loop system (replete with a big metal fishhook at the bottom) of the Jandd packs. I grew to loathe them. They were a pain in the neck to mount/remove and even under the best of circumstances, a good bump could dislodge the hooks from the top rail of the rack. I have a 15 inch Mac Powerbook in one of the bags, so a secure connection and large capacity is important to me. After some initial tweaking of the hooks and hardware on the back of the Novara Transfer bags to achieve a precise fit (easy to set up) I was BLOWN AWAY at how simple, easy, fast and secure the mounting process was. To remove, touch a button and yank it off the rack. Couldn't be easier. I wish I had purchased these YEARS ago!! Great capacity (I sometimes haul 10-15 lbs of stuff) and a nice top pouch with an organizer for phone, keys, watch, wallet etc. Well thought out bag with great capacity. The compression straps work really well too. Looking under rocks for something to complain about, the carrying straps are a little thin when the bags are heavy and could have used a rubber coating. Still, I'm LOVING these things and grin every time I drop a loaded pannier one-handed onto my rack and here that wonderful CLICK! German mounting hardware is an elegant and well designed solution for commuters popping bags on and off constantly. Like me.
