Review on 🚴 Waterfly Waterproof Bike Bag - 3 in 1 Bike Pannier Bag, Saddle Bag, and Shoulder Bag with Rain Cover for Riding Cycling by Josh Koa

Availability This case is not waterproof although it is made of vinyl and not nylon fabric like the others. In very light rain it stays dry inside, but in any heavy rain, even if it's not heavy, it gets very wet inside. It comes with a yellow tarpaulin (which fits well and keeps the rain out) but it also comes with nylon bags (at least some) so it has no advantage. In that regard, I'd say that's a slight gripe as despite being about the same price, they're a bit stiffer, especially in cold weather. Since the upper part is separate and designed for use as a backpack, it also covers the openings of the two side pockets, which makes putting them on and taking them off a bit more difficult. Nylon bags that are one piece usually only have a center piece in the middle and they stretch to rise a bit higher to allow you to fit more items. Also, the buckles are a little fiddly; Two of them had the drawstrings snapped and one of the zippers broke after a few uses (I can see them flexing with use from the start). The idea that these are three separate components that can be easily removed might be good in theory, but on a practical level; how often do you do that? They take packages with purchases. Additionally, because the two side bags "dangle" from the rack, they make a slight thump as they rise and fall when riding over bumps. In general, this is an advantage in theory, but I don't see any advantage in practice. I think the company should a) make it one piece, b) use "zip-lock" zippers to make it truly waterproof (and they need to find a solution for the ends of the zipper, but it has to be something). The fact that it has reflective strips along the back of the two side pockets is good and safe, just know to bring them to the back, not the front!
