Review on 🚲 Rhinowalk Bike Pannier Bag: Waterproof and Spacious Rack Bicycle Bag, Perfect for Commuting, with Laptop Pannier and Shoulder Bag Option - Essential Cycling Accessory by Mike Robinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The straps that come with this bag cannot be used

This bag would be perfect if someone paid attention to the details. My bag was shipped in what appeared to be 'used' condition as the bag contained bike oil. If you've ever used a waterproof bag like this, you know that you usually have to roll up the top three times. This ensures optimal water resistance. Well you can do it with this bag but they didn't design it right. The connection loop for the straps of the bag is on the wrong side. You either have to roll the top only twice, which doesn't make it waterproof, or roll it in a way that makes it too narrow and limits the bag's 20L capacity. Also, a simple plastic plate on a hole would have made the clasp much better as it is fragile and could easily leak water if only rolled twice. Connecting to my bike rack is very easy and I have no doubts about its reliability. Fabric durability, this bag has design flaws which I would expect if it was $30 instead of $50. They are meaningless with the current design. Also, the side straps are too long. Even at the maximum capacity of three rolls, you'll have a lot of extra tape that you don't need.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
