Looks good and feels good

Two stars for durability only as I haven't used it, this is just a first impression. I'll update once I've used it a few times and see how it holds up. But the material feels nice, it's light and you can see the quality and the highly reflective strips in the two attached photos. I like velcro as they are more comfortable on the back than clips but I think clips are more durable. " D. Regular size fits this backpack well, and I assume any other size would fit.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Love that it's waterproof

Bought one, loved its waterproofing and bought 2 more I've modified it to suit my needs but overall it's the perfect reflective and waterproof backpack bag. I wore it in the pouring rain for over an hour and not a single drop spilled. Other people told me how bright it was, they saw me running from afar (dressed up while cycling). I don't really like the position of the cable holder at the bottom, it cuts into my lower back when cycling. But like I said, I modified it to suit my needs. However,

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Requires a power outlet

Great little bag, keeps my backpack dry and shows my back

I used to tie it to the back of my backpack even on dry days. It covers the outside perfectly and allows me to store the rain cover inside (between the cover and the backpack). This thing is bright so I can be seen on the street day or night. Adding straps with reflectors makes me glow at night. I'm a big bright spot on the road day and night. One night my wheels skidded on a corner and I fell to the ground. I have slip marks on the lid but no scuffs or holes. Despite the California rain, my…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

DOES NOT fit medium US backpacks

I ordered the large size in bright yellow. The reflective strips are great and work well. The case itself is made of high quality material. However, this bag will NOT fit in a medium sized American backpack like the Jansport, Swissgear or Ogio that people use as school bags. The backpack pictured in the first review is a camera bag, NOT a backpack. That's why the bag fits perfectly with this camera bag. The straps are poorly sewn together but managed to stay together in high winds while I was…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Secret

Waterproof and visible in the dark

I bought the yellow reflective garment on January 23, 2017 and had to replace it because the velcro was worn out. Bright orange, purchased 7/11/18. I ride my bike to the gym and back before sunrise. Between the 300 lumen headlight, 150 lumen tail light, spoke lights, BTR helmet cover and BTR backpack cover, I guarantee to be seen on the roads. The velcro seems to be more durable than before and I know from experience that it will keep my pack dry from the rain. I've had comments from gym…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Communication with the seller

I just went out in the rain with this pack: it keeps my pack very dry in every way [including the bottom]. Cons [minor for me]: Instead, my buttocks were wet as the water slid through the outside and into the top of my butt. I have the yellow version for better visibility when cycling in the dark before sunrise and after sunset. Regarding the fit: I have the large size [22.5 x 18.5 inches] and it wrapped around my backpack very well and tightly. The type of backpack I have is a black High…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Hard to say

The size worries me the most.

So obviously I have a large size for my school bag. I don't know the size of my backpack in measures or liters so I assumed. The lid fits "pretty well" in the sense that the lid comes out about 1 inch to the edges when everything is centered. When my water bottle isn't in the holder on my backpack, it fits a little better. That's good enough because nothing in my bag has ever gotten wet with the case, but there are a few visually unprotected spots. I really like that it folds into its own mesh…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Nothing here

Good idea, performance can be improved

I just got this because it has reflective strips and bands but I don't know. You see, my bag is 25 liters and this thing does NOT wrap it completely. Either below or above is open. I suspect the bags in the photos are 10L or 15L, so pretty small! Summary: - It's ok for 15-20 liter TOP bags if you want decent water resistance (top and bottom when things hit the ground on the bike ie WHOLE backpack as advertised). Pros: - Does have reflective strips which are useful in road traffic / cycling in…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Disappear
