It's a pannier, it's a backpack...it's both!
If you're wondering if you should buy this item, you really, really should! It really could be that Holy Grail bit of kit you're missing from your arsenal of other cycle swag, and it's oh so practical as well!My husband and I each have one and use them for commuting, taking a couple days worth of gym kit, locks, lunch, an iPad and other miscellany each time we use it, and there's still room to spare.The thing that let me down in the past about panniers of this size is that they often come with a bulky messenger strap which isn't ideal when you've got a huge bag full of stuff and all the strain is on one shoulder, pulling you into your fellow commuters on the pavement - it's not a good look. With this bag, however, it fits securely on my back sharing the load. I wouldn't do a 5k run with this on my back, but it's comfortable enough to go from A to B and to wear on the tube if I chicken out of cycling home in the rain.The backpack shoulder straps fit neatly into the zippy down slot, so they are neatly protected from tyres when cycling. I also find the pannier hooks to be very easy and quick to get on and off but you have to press them down firmly on the bike rack when putting them on, but this just means they do feel fixed in place when you're riding, which is a good thing.All in all, I am 100% satisfied and cannot recommend this product more wholeheartedly. Happy riding!

Now that's a pannier rucksack!
I love this bag not just for its looks, but for its size. It is able to fit in loads of stuff for my commute or shopping.It can fit in my raincape, waterproof trousers, laptop, lunchbox, shoes and change of clothes.and still have room spare for me to buy a loaf on the way home.It has a roll-top so there is no zip, but it can be folded over and the straps tightened over. Some people don't like this, but I quite like the opening as it means I can stuff things in and not think about catching the zip or having to struggle with a zip if it is too full. Once it is full, however, it doesn't hold its shape, but then I have filled the bag rather a lot and most bags would lose some of their shape. Again, this doesn't bother me but maybe a problem for others.The canvas and straps and d clips are thick and the bag, on the whole, is well made. It does have a few internal pockets which are handy and an external side pocket. On the other side is the usb/charging port which sticks out slightly and meant that I can only use it on the left side of the pannier rack as my foot kept catching it when I was cycling.The only gripes I have, that don't stop me loving this bag, but might bother some , are the clips for attaching to the pannier are plastic. They are a strong plastic but I'm disappointed that a bag of this quality and the manufactures couldn't stretch to metal clips, especially as this bag isn't a light bag. They also make it awkward to get the bag on and off the bike.To convert the bag to a rucksack once off the bike, the straps have to be looped through the d clips, which is a bit irritating, when it could so easily have been solved with lobster clasps with a swivel bottom permanently attached to the straps and then just clipped on to the d clips, making it more convenient. I have now purchased the lobster clips and find it much quicker and easier when taking the bag on and off the bike.I can't vouch for its waterproof qualities as I haven't, thankfully, been out in the rain YET! That said, I would probably put my extra waterproof cover on anyway in the inclement weather, just in case.Overall, this is my go-to bag when cycling. I use it for shopping, commuting to work and in the future can use it for nights away. If you need a large rucksack pannier and want it to just look like a bag then I would thoroughly recommend purchasing this bag.

Attractive, not for heavy use
This is a really lovely looking pannier rucksack. The 'swap' between bike bag and rucksack is easy and I have used it constantly. However, after nine months, it is pretty much dead. Two zips have broken, the inside lining is shredded. So it is probably not for regular commuting use. I may have expected too much of it. I have seriously considered getting another one but will probably regretfully move to something tougher.

Delighted
Excellent. Really, it is. I never bother with reviews but this one surprised me. Good value indeed. Sturdy, good materials too, and it feels nice to carry round. It's a really nice back pack first and panier second.I'd change the hooks for brass clips to make it a little more secure when walking round London but they're good quality and that's a style choice really.I plan to change the base of the straps too. They are on a double loop meaning you *can* tuck them into the zippy flap but I will swap mine for a carrabena so that I can cli and zip that bit faster.I think the clips that attach to the panier rack are going to be the test, they're strong looking plastic and they're going to be the only thing that lets the bag down ling term by breaking if anything. Theyre riveted on so not replaceable without a bit of creative DIY.

It's GREAT
Lots of space. Durable and waterproof. I have tested it in the worst of English weather commuting to work and it always keeps my uniform dry so I can change once I get there. Very impressed with this product, very happy I brought it. Room for my laptop and lots more. Good for grocery shopping. Easy to attach and take off and it is so cool that it turns into a backpack!

Damaged, twice, and not
Poorly constructed. When the bag came one of the zips was broken and a replacement was sent. This was made low quality materials and after only three uses holes appeared in the bag where it had been attached to the bag rack of my bike. And one journey in light rain and the waterproofing was ineffective. Appalling quality. A refund has been refused by Amazon due to it being more than 30 days since purchase. It is unacceptable to expect this low quality for 30 days of use.

Badly designed fastening
Fabric is strong and waterproof as described.The fastening is badly designed, buckles are unfastening and there’s no zip or even a latch to protect it.I expected much more for this price.Would not recommend.
