Review on 🚲 Waterproof ArcEnCiel Bike Bag: Rear Seat Carrier Pack & Panniers - Ideal for Bicycles by Mike Phillips

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good bag, hardware could be better

First of all the clips are not as good quality as advertised. It feels like cheap Chinese rattles and comes off fairly easily. I certainly wouldn't trust shipping over Β£10 with the hardware included. I ended up ditching the included hardware and clips in favor of strong cable ties that go well through the back where the clips attach. Anyway, I was planning on mounting it on a rack to make it harder to steal the bike if it's locked while I go shopping. It fits perfectly in my Topeak Explorer Disk Rack and cleans the derailleur and chain nicely. The clips on the top stick out and get in the way of any Topeak brand fast track accessories, another reason I went with the zip ties instead of the included mount. clips. It has plenty of room inside and appears to be waterproof as they claim. I tested it with a tube and the inside of the bag was dry after completely soaking it. It is also easy to dry and clean with a good rag.

Pros
  • Great overall quality
Cons
  • Pretty good
