I love them so much

These bags have quickly become my favourites. Love it. Almost all the good points and just a few small (very small) pluses Easy to attach: uncomplicated to attach to the bike rack with hooks, additionally secure with velcro straps long enough to be secure (not always found with every bag I found) is the backpack fastens at the top with multiple buckles to keep it from moving. From time to time (very rarely, less than five times in a few months of use) I run into a particularly awkward situation and a sidebar hook comes loose. This has happened so infrequently and unsuccessfully (still secured with another hook and strap) that I didn't care if simply tightening the hook hole would "fix" it. Spacious: I go to work, shower there and teach, so I carry a lot with me: a full set of clothes (socks, underwear, trousers, shirt, warm shirt for warmth in the company), 16-inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro , my cell phone, a bag with whiteboard markers, a bag with tech items (hub, USB stick, screen cloth, etc.), often a folder with papers, and a plastic bag with a raincoat (raincoat, raincoat), toiletry bag, and deodorant. And sometimes I have to wear a long-sleeved shirt and tights on my way to work, as I said, because of the difference in morning and afternoon temperatures. Anything if it fits (with one caveat below) and space is left. i love space absolutely love it. Waterproof: I haven't tried the downpour. But I did take a shower or two, rode my bike on wet dirt roads with puddles, and used my mud sprayer to check it out a bit. The pockets keep water out quite well and even splashes from the side directly onto the zippers (thanks to the rain-protected position directly on top) no water got into the pockets. Can't tell if that applies to a really long downpour, but I don't really care about the water protection. And it definitely comes with a rain cover, so no problem with that. The modular system is great. When I go out and need almost nothing, I use a bag. When I go to work, where I don't have to shower thanks to the shorter commute, I take two bags with me. On longer tours I take two bags and a backpack with me. It's a lot easier to carry my stuff from the locker room to the classroom. with a backpack as a large shoulder bag (my previous pannier). The backpack is spacious and also water-repellent. The straps are plain and unlined, but I don't wear them for long. Longevity: Have been using them almost daily for several months and certainly no issues or issues. Time will tell but looks good. Appears to be of good build quality. Cons: My 16" MacBook Pro barely fits in and I have to be a bit careful with the zipper when closing it. If the pockets were 1/2 wider (maybe even 1/4) they would slide in and out with no problem. Something to consider for a future iteration. Absolutely delighted with them. I've had bad bags, medium and good. My last one was excellent (I kept it as a backup), but they're more convenient for a number of reasons, so I'm picking lightly
