        Comments about Novara Basic Rack Trunk:

        This trunk is OK for a small bag. It appears to be durable and it works well for small items. It sits on the rack solid. The straps that keep the lid from opening all the way are just in the way. I plan on cutting them off mine. Compared to other products this bag is overpriced. I purchased this because I wanted a small bag to go with larger panniers so it meets what I wanted.

        Comments about Novara Basic Rack Trunk:

        I have an older version of this trunk bag from 2006. It has gone everywhere with me. I have racks on all my bicyles and switch the trunk from bike to bike. With the hook and loop fastening system this is very quick and easy to do. From single track trails in the pouring rain, to century rides in the blistering heat, to multi-day fully loaded tours, this pack has done it all and held up like a champ. I use it primarily for carrying bike lock and tools, a rag, and a my wallet and keys, but I've put everything you can imagine in there. Library books, grocerys,and large bulky camera. No matter how much I've crammed into that little bag it has maintained it shape, and the zipper has not split. I even bungee stuff that is to big to the top of it. This bag makes a great all arounder. It it just the perfect size for hauling items for errands and commuting to work. I've had this bag in every weather condition even snow and has been great. Rain water will eventually penetrate the fabric after several hours of constant deluge but for the most part this bag is pretty water resistant. When it gets muddy I simply spray it inside and out with the garden hose and let it dry out for a day or so. After 3 years nearly 10 thousand miles of hard use the bag is finally starting to show it's first signs of wear. I anticipate it'll last at least another 3 years before it needs to be replaced. I've never before given a 5 star rating to any product I've reviewed but, I must say, this trunk by Novara is about as close to perfection as your going to get. Great job Novara!

        Comments about Novara Basic Rack Trunk:

        This is a durable, no-frills pack. I use it to pack snacks, camera, wallet, keys, extra water bottle, etc. for long family rides. And there's still room to wedge in a pair of sweat pants or riding pants. And the top lid has a hard, reinforce liner, which means you won't squash anything inside. We like it.
