Bike Backpack Laptop (Black) – Convertible Double Pannier for Bicycles, Water-Resistant Canvas Commuter Bag with Padded Laptop Pocket, 17.3L Rear Rack Bike Bag, Ideal Bicycle Gifts for Women & Men

This is a great bag for carrying everyday. The bag slips apart and secures to a bike rack really easily. It also goes back together for wearing like a backpack. Whether I'm driving or riding into work, I can grab the same bag on my way out the door.It has plenty of room for bike things (change of clothes, glasses, gloves, etc.) and work things (laptop, notebook, mouse, pens, ID, multitool, etc.) There are also easily accessible pockets on the bag for emptying you pants pockets quick (wallet, ID, etc.) without having to dig into the bag.The canvas seems durable and is lined on the inside. The zippers are quality zippers and work well.There are two things that I don't like. 1) The buckles on the leather straps are just for style and feels cheap (the magnet closures on it work well). 2) One pocket on the backpack strap side rubs on your lower back if its full. But there are enough pockets and compartments that it easy to avoid using this pocket.

When I got the bag, I first noticed the depth of the storage space. From the amount of pockets to how deep they are came in super handy when I took the bag to the race track. I was able to take my computer, hoodie, food, and a couple of drinks with room to spare for more stuff. The other big thing I really liked was the heavy duty fabric and the design of the bag. This bag is definitely a great value and can be used for every day use.

I commute everywhere and often with a lot of stuff and had been using a one-sided pannier for the last year. However, I needed to find a way to distribute the weight better on my rear rack after my back wheel started popping spokes from all the commuting weight, but found most double pannier options hard or inconvenient to carry. I haven't liked bags with a single, messenger bag type strap or small handles for carrying, so, I was thrilled when I discovered this bag.Both sides of the bag are sturdy and provide ample space for most situations. Many pannier style bags don't have outside pockets and this has plenty for small items like keys and sunglasses that I need to access easily and quickly. The laptop pocket is well-padded and the inner pockets of both halves of the bag help keep things separated. Material is heftier than the average pannier bag, but I find it stands up well to dirt and even a little rain. Also well insulated enough to carry meals or groceries short to medium distances.Bag is easy to convert from panniers to backpack. Straps are comfy and easy to disconnect when needed. Previous pannier backpacks I've owned have had faulty straps that could unclasp at any time, but I never worry about that with this bag. I find the bag very comfy for long wear, but also make sure to put only flat or soft items in the back section to mitigate any possible discomfort.The hooks that secure the bag to the rack are sturdy and reliable. I have rarely had them come off when going over rough terrain as I have frequently with other bags as long as both hooks are properly placed and straps are done. The velcro straps on the backs of each section are also sturdy and never come undone unlike on some bags I've owned. I will say, because those straps are wide and go over the thinnest part of my rack, the bag can move around a bit when the bag is nearly empty and I've occasionally had to make sure the bag doesn't shift too much between stops so I don't end up kicking it or it doesn't end up too close to the spokes.Only real problem I've ever had with the bag is a zipper coming off the track. I wouldn't mind if the zippers were a bit sturdier and I occasionally resent the extra weight provided by the front flap. However, this is the best looking and most useful pannier bag I've ever used and I can't imagine commuting without it. Even when I'm not carrying that much, I prefer to use this bag over the others I own because it's convenient, easy to carry and fits a lot of stuff.Also have to note that the customer service is some of the best I've ever encountered. When I wanted to purchase a new bag after accidentally ripping my first, I found the company owners helpful, speedy and willing to keep improving an already great product. Truly think this bag is an essential for anyone who commutes by bike a lot. I constantly get compliments on it and constantly recommend it to people.

This is a style familiar in Southern California in the late 70s early 80s. And it is well done here. The fabric is a gratifying light denim and the pleather has a decent touch and is a ‘cowboy brown on white drawing paper’ color. This is a picture of the back compartment swallowing my 9 by 14 inch Dell work laptop, which it holds quite flat against my back. This laptop does fit precisely inside the padded sleeve. The sleeve is lined with some thin but dense aquafoam, including a strip at the bottom. I haven’t even put it in the bike yet but I have good hopes for that. The saddle width is a fairly standard 5 inches, the clips feel strong, and the Velcro is wide industrial. The decorative buckles are decently finished good alloy with a chrome finish. They come right off if you prefer. The magnetic button catches respond like tiny rare earth or neodymium magnets. It’s a little finicky to get their little fields together but they grip quite positively. This is a well thought out, well made, light commuter, for laptop, lunch, lock, sweater, and two 16 to 20 ounce beverages.

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. It installed on my bike with ease. The quality of this pack is incredible and built to last. The ability to use it as a backpack and being able to store my laptop in the protective pocket was a key factor in purchasing this item. There are a lot of choices out there and I definitely made the right choice with this pack.

I am happy that this bag fits my large 14x10 inch laptop and has a nice slim profile when sitting on the bike rack. I also like the carrying handle and the backpack conversion feature, 2 water bottle side pouches and all the internal pockets.The only complaint I have is about the zipper that is supposed to zip the two halves together in backpack mode. Upon my first attempt, I struggled to get the zipper going, then by the end of the day the zipper had pulled apart and I had a difficult time getting the two bag halves open again. I now use the bag without the zipper. Thankfully the velcro is strong enough that it does the job well enough without the zipper, but a better quality one would make this bag 5 stars.
