Bike Bags for Bicycles Rear Rack - Waterproof Bicycle Saddle Panniers with Extra Padded Foam Bottom and Side Reflectors - Convertible Bike Bag with Shoulder Strap, Zipper Pockets, and Bottle Case

I absolutely love it! It is definitely made of quality materials! (In depth review further down) At first, I questioned one or two design features of the bag (which in no way takes away from the quality of the bag or should be something to turn you away from buying it), in which I later learned that is the best way to construct the bag. The customer satisfaction by Eli of Kolo Sports is top notch. Rarely do you see someone try as hard to make sure every customer is satisfied. I probably am not the easiest customer to satisfy as well. The first thing they do after receiving the bag is send you an email to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your purchase and make sure that you would give the bag a 5 star rating. After sending an email back, they reply immediately. I questioned them about what I thought, at the time, to possibly be issues and he thoroughly explained why the decisions were made, and why it's the best way to construct it (and it makes 100% sense). I had no idea how much thought and work could go into constructing a bag, but they sure put everything they could into it! I learned a lot about the construction of a bag and Eli definitely went the extra mile to make sure I was happy!Pros of the bag:At first glance you can tell the bag is made of quality materials and is sturdy.There's plenty of pockets and storage area for the size of the bag. (I can carry all the essentials, plus extra. I actually take my bike disc golfing and use it to hold snacks, discs, maybe a light coat, a small towel to wipe down the discs, my phone when it's not on the mount, my wallet,and I still have room in the pockets.The straps for the rack and for the shoulder are wide and seem very strong.It's nice that its not too large (holds a lot compared to its size) because it makes it easier to carry around once removed.The Velcro is strong and there's plenty of it to attach the straps to the rack how you want.The zippers seem really strong and don't seem like they will brake or separate at the zipped portion.There's a handle to carry it, but I use the shoulder strap attachment.There's also reflective strips to help be seen by cars, which I feel your bike could never have enough of.The bag definitely holds it's shape without even having anything in it.I haven't been able to test it in rain as I haven't been caught in the rain while riding, but it definitely seems like it would prevent anything inside from getting wet.What I thought could possibly be cons:The main zipper compartment doesn't go all the way around, the zipper stops a little early. I learned that this was a decision made to add extra support in that area to make sure the bag holds its shape (which definitely works). I thought it might be bad if I just wanted to flip it open, but in turn I realized that it actually helps keep the top closed and easier to zip up. I prefer that it holds it's shape and is easier to zip, because it doesn't take much effort to just lift it up and grab what you want, then it closes back to down for you in zipper ready position.The other is the slot for the water bottle holder, in which, if you are putting a water bottle in it, works perfectly. I already have a water bottle holder on my bike, so I thought I'd use it for a different item I wanted easy access to. I put a skinnier item in there (my e-cigarette) and it bounced out when i hit a bump. I thought that maybe a pull string with a plastic lock would be better, but the elastic makes more sense for the purpose advertised (water bottle), especially for easily putting it in, and taking it out. The elastic seems strong as well. Now, I just put the towel for wiping my discs inside the elastic pocket and it was probably stupid of me to put my e-cigarette in that pocket in the first place.Conclusion: Buy the bag without any worries of being disappointed! Great bag at a great price!

It's a great bag for my Rad ebike. My only complaint is that I wish it were slightly larger, but that's not the bags fault but rather my own for not reading the storage compartment specs. With that said it's plenty big enough to hold a water bottle, book, keys, wallet, and other essentials you'll take on rides. 4 straps (2 little in the front and 2 larger ones around the side) keep the bag in place and not jiggling. Seems like it's well built and it comes at a good price. I think a good bike accessory is one that you don't know it's there until you need to use it (so it doesn't make noise or interfere with your pedaling or whatever) and this bag accomplishes that - it sits snugly waiting to be used. I'm very happy with this purchase.

The bag is quite nice. It's roomy and well-made. Has strong, wide straps on the bottom to attach to the carrier and two narrow straps on the front. It's reasonably stiff to hold its shape, but, actually, this is a bit of a problem due to the way the bag is shipped. It's mashed flat (sideways), put in a clear plastic bag, then into a padded shipping envelope. It arrives bent out of shape and tends to want to remain that way to some extent unless it's totally full of stuff. This isn't a huge problem, but, still, it could be shipped in a box and wouldn't arrive misshapen. I like the bag, though, and I'm glad I bought it. The price is right! The five stars are for the bag itself. I would give 2 or 3 stars for the packing and shipping.Update: 08/22/22I've had the original bag for 5 years and it has held up well. I recently bought an ebike and needed a bag for it. I compared this bag to some others which have (IMO) a better system of straps for fastening to the rack, and reduced my rating to 4 stars for that; but the other bags got complaints in customer reviews for not holding their shape unless full of stuff. Once I got my original bag's shape back from being mashed in shipping, it has held it very well. I decided to buy a second Kolo bag because my first one has held up so well and because I'm used to it. It's a pretty nice bag, and this one came in a box and wasn't all mashed out of shape! I was a bit surprised about how much the price has gone up since I bought the first bag, but it's still comparable in price to similar bags.

This is a really great bag at a really great price. What I liked about it right off the bat was that it was portable, meaning that it comes with a strap that allows you to take it off the bike and use it to carry stuff. The storage compartment is big enough to carry a lot while there are pockets attached on the outside that provide a place to put certain things and zip them up. That way I could put my cellphone in a compartment, zip it up, and when it's ringing I know exactly where it is and can get to it quickly. The fabric is very sturdy, will keep moisture out, and is high quality. The zippers work great and are heavy enough to work well for a long time plus the stitching looks nice, is sturdy, and was put on correctly. It has reflective fabric sewn in at various places on the bag and it was attached properly and looks good. Finally, the bag attaches to the bike rack with four different velcro straps and once it's on it is secure. The bag straps are strategically located so they will hold the bag in place yet they're easy to release so you can take the bag with you. This was a great purchase, it's a great product, and it does more and looks better than many bags much more expensive. You won't find a better bag at this great of a value. I bought one and recommended it to my girlfriend who bought one for her bike (in case you're wondering why I didn't buy the bag for my girlfriend....it's because I bought her the bike!!)

Didn't have high hope of it given the low price but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Had it for five days now and already have had three medium distance (~50km) rides with it and it stayed on solidly.Pros:1) Smart arrangement of pockets - repair kit, spare tubes and lights on the right hand side; pump, maps on the left; bottle in the rear; food and everything else in the main compartment.2) It's actually quite roomy despite the appearance. I put a lunchbox and a cable lock in it and there's still room for a small first aid kit. That's after I put in the "insert" to keep it in shape (as advertised).3) The velcro straps are very strong.4) For the size and capacity, the dimension is perfect. It doesn't sit too tall and above the seat. It also doesn't stick out on the two sides too much, if aero's your concern.5) Shoulder strap makes it easy for a quick stop for shopping, coffee or bathroom breaks. If you don't use the should strap the handle at the top is also convenient.6) The material is very strong, compare to some other (and more expensive) products. I expect it will last for quite some time.7) Reflective strips on three sides for safety.8) Shipment was extremely fast. It came way sooner than expected.Con (if you insist):1) The zippers may get stuck in certain places but nothing can't a candle stick solve the problem.Unknowns:1) Haven't ridden with it in rain but I'm quite sure it will perform well.2) Not sure if it's machine washable (after a rough off road ride).Note: It may be quite a pain to take it off and put it on at every stop given the way the straps work. It may also be hard on the velcro too. There's a loop on the left hand side so that you can pull a bungee cord through it to secure the bag, as an alternative.At the price level I don't think you can get a better product than this.

Great bag at a great price. Side pocket holds a 7inch tablet w/cover, another for tools & lights, wallet pocket & bottle holder. Main compartment can hold a large bunch of bananas or loaf of bread, or a light jacket gloves & glasses. Zippers, velcro & material look durable. Great for shopping with my backpack or lunch. Not to big or small. Has a loop at back to clip on a light. Excellent design.

This is a well made bag. Many people will find it very useful. The only downside is for people like me who are old fashion and like to mount their bike by lifting their leg over the seat after pushing off. Seems most people like to straddle the frame before pedaling off.If you are like me you may want to look for a pannier that sits lower with no bag above the carrier. It can be exciting when your leg gets stuck on the bag during a dismount.

This is a very good trunk bag! It works perfectly on a smaller rack for one of my bikes. I have a larger trunk bag that is too big for that bike. So I was glad to find this one at a reasonable price to fit my needs. Useful extra pockets and a water bottle holder too. Seems very durable.

nice quality bag for the price, fits well to my bike rack, does not go on and off quickly, but it comes with a strap to make it a great meesanger type bag for when you do need to take it off. Needs a little help keeping its shape, easily fixed with a cardboard box!
