Pros & Cons
Pros
This backpack is utterly perfect. Enjoy, don't hesitate, worth the price. This bag is worth every penny!
The pannier rack clips are simple & secure. They fit just about any rack, even a very sparse 2 rail rack. The backpack straps fold away quickly and with a minimum of hassle.
The bag is best available in class if you want a convertible backpack and not a convertible messenger and you need the extra capacity. It is a great 2-for-1 bag.
The bag is exactly the thing for biking, then walking or playing a sport. It's soft on your back (can't feel the hooks at all when wearing it) it has an ingeniously perfect and easy mounting system. It attaches securely and easily to bike.
The conversion takes about a minute. The higher section that folds into the backpack is – perhaps – a bit too long to make it as easy as it could be to convert back and forth.
Cons
The terrible craftsmanship of this backpack is a danger to anyone who uses it and i would urge any potential buyers to stay away if you value your bike, the stuff you would keep in the bag, or your safety while commuting. Only the main compartment has... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Solid construction and fits very well on the topeak rack
The rack attachment mechanism is easy to use and feels very solid and i have no concern that it will still be fine after many years
The adjustable straps are clearly not designed for a 5434 115lb
The whole locking mechanism can be undone in a matter of seconds if you know what youre doing although setting it back into 34b... Read More
Price
A little pricey but it has held up for a 18 months so well worth it in my experience
I am going to tear up a piece of neoprene from an old wetsuit and leave it in the bottom which is a silly hack for a 200 bag
My only regret was not knowing that they had a 30l one for just 20 more else id have gone for that
2 padded laptop section on the 30l included in the price
Shipping
They even sent it to me twice for free because the first clip was delayed in the mail and we thought it was lost
I contacted customer service and reid ceo immediately sent me instructions on how to fix it just needed to retighten a screw th... Read More

Size and packing i was worried that 30l would be too big
You could probably get a couple 12 packs of cans in the pack and still have room for a few small items for flats repairs
Competitiveness
Recommended this bag to a few friends who also commute looking for a similar option for a decent price
Arkel bug bag banjo brothers pannier waterproof backpack 174hudson pannier backpack are all similar products
I wish it was a little easier to go between pannier and backpack
I looked into a lot of models some very expensive and an ikea one that wasnt so expensive

Woman so the bag hangs uncomfortably heavy on my shoulders and the bottom of it sits right in the middle of my bum which makes walking difficult
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If two wheel gear would make the adjustable straps just a little longer to pull it further up my back and maybe add a waist strap for additional support the chest strap doesnt do much for me either because of similar scale issues this bag would be chefs kiss
