Just barely too small
I do really like this bag. My main complaint is that I wish I had gotten the larger size. I use it for commuting to school, carrying a few notebooks and a small (12") laptop with its charging cable. But because of the rectangular shape of the bag, there's not really enough room left for clunky things like a lunch and rain jacket. The only other issue I have is the rainfly, which gets a little awkward to handle when it comes to converting between the modes. If I'm biking in the rain, everything gets wet, then I take the bag off my bike without using the handle (since it's covered by the rainfly), and then convert it and put it on my wet back. It would make this part a lot simpler if they had just made the thing out of rainproof material in the first place.
I like it; I wish I loved it or just paid less
I was searching for a backpack pannier when I stumbled across this. I do like this pannier, overall. I've been using it as my primary pannier for close to a year. It works well in most situations. In addition to the convertible backpack, which was the primary feature I wanted, I like the external zipper pockets and the side pockets. The side pouches can fit a water bottle, and also work well for things like tent poles while bike camping. One of the side pouches has an adjustable strap to help secure anything that sticks out of the pocket. It's been spacious enough for me to take on any full day of biking, and to also take bike camping (with another pannier and some other packs). I really like the red spring-loaded clip that ensures that it can't really fly off. Converting between a backpack and pannier is easy enough. The fact that it comes with a rain cover is great. The handle at the top makes it easy to carry for a bit if you don't want to go full-backpack. It has a thin pocket accessible from the top that can fit something like a computer or books, or a frisbee. This is nice to have in certain situations. If you don't need that, you can just stuff the main pouch full and it will bulge into the thin pocket, so it doesn't feel like you really lose that much space. It's fairly boxy inside, making it easy to fit all sorts of items if you arrange them well. However, there are some flaws: - In wet conditions, the side facing the wheel gets really messy (this is also the side that goes against your back in backpack mode). The rain fly does not help here (to be fair, I am not sure how it could). It's made worse because of the fabric. - The buckle that secures the bottom of the pannier around the rack pretty much always wants to hit my spokes, and tightening it doesn't really help, because then the loose ends of the strap just stick out more. So I find myself messing with it to keep it tight and tucked multiple times on a long ride. I actually started just not buckling this at all, and tucking the straps into the side pouches, but that is also annoying. - Even partially loaded, it has a tendency to bulge inward toward the wheel, making the above problem worse. Because of these problems, I have to put it much farther forward on my rack than I would like. Depending on the bike, it means my heel will hit it. I went with 3 stars, because for the price, it just seems like I am thinking about it a little too much while riding. I had a buckle break off, and I am within the return window still, so I am likely to return it and not repurchase it or try to fix it. But I also have not found another backpack pannier that I like, so I am not sure. I would say that if the backpack part is critical, then this is probably a good option. If you are thinking more about the external pocket access, then maybe go with a different one.
Excellent urban commute bag!
Easy five stars! I'd give more if I could. I've now been through three pannier bags to find the right urban commuter bag and this one is by far my first choice. It's the only one I've tried that stays secure on bumpy roads, is narrow enough to avoid my heel bumping it when I pedal and has a swift and easy conversion to a backpack that's actually decently comfortable. The inside space is thoughtfully organized and allows me to put everything I need for the day in a place that feels just right for it. It has the right amount of features while still maintaining simplicity. Such a great bag - I highly recommend. For context, my commute is 6 mikes each way on paved, but sometimes poorly paved roads in a densely urban area. I'm 5'8", ride a scattante aluminum-carbon road bike, 57cm frame, and have a standard size rear pannier rack.
Perfect for commuting and errands
I’ve had this for a month and half, and between commuting and errands have done about 100 miles with it. I love it. 1) It’s fast to put on and take off the rack—two top hooks, a solid spring-loaded clip for stability, and two straps that buckle around the frame at the bottom. It hasn’t slipped on the rack. The straps flapped against the spokes at first. I twisted them once and they haven’t since then. 2) It’s easy to convert between pannier and backpack. I switch between cycling and public transit during my commute and converting the pack takes less than 30 seconds. The backpack straps are padded and comfortable. 3) It’s roomy enough to fit my 13” laptop, a light change of clothes, and lunch. 4) Waterproofing is good. I rode 20 minutes in a very heavy downpour and my laptop stayed dry, even without the rain fly. However, the very bottom of the main compartment was wet—would use the rain fly next time.
Perfekt and stylish
This backpack has worked like a charm for me. It's fairly light and has just enough space for a laptop and a spare set of clothes. It's also stylish enough so that it doesn't scream bike backpack
