Good quality and easy swap

, great backpack. I mainly use it to carry my camera with me and although it has been dropped with it a few times I haven't had a single scratch on my camera. The porter for my rental bike was easy and quick, especially once I got used to it. However, care had to be taken to ensure that no part of it made contact with the tyres, but that was an extra 15 second check at most. And it took barely 30 seconds to remove it from the rack and close the hook compartment. While very solid on the rack, it

Pros
  • Rixen & Kaul Compact Rail Mounting System - attaches securely to standard bike racks (6-16mm) and snaps into place for rack adjustment
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Expensive but worth it

This bag was my third attempt at getting a bike pannier. I commute to work by bike 5 days a week and the previous baskets I had just weren't up to the task. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I'm pretty sure I'll be using it for a while (I'll update when it's not). First, the capacity is good. I carry around a 10-inch tablet with a stand, mouse and keyboard, as well as chargers for various devices, a few snacks, a 24-ounce insulated water bottle, pants and a shirt, and I still have some

Pros
  • Polyester lining

I love my backpack

*Waterproof Upgrade* If you happen to be caught in an Arizona monsoon storm that fills the buckets with water falls, is a backpack (+ raincoat) does not dry. The rain cover does not cover the entire backpack, leaving the back open. The papers in my backpack were wet and ruined, but my laptop (in a separate compartment) was completely dry. I think that's just an issue because of the HUGE rain (e.g. 2 inches in 15 minutes). I still rate this backpack 5 stars. *Update* after several months of use.

Pros
  • Ideal for biking to work, commuting, traveling, on campus, around town and outdoors
Cons
  • Clarity
