They were used heavily for commuting in 2015-2017 and later on a couple of bike trips. They did their job well, didn't let a drop of water in and the quick adjustment worked.
However, a few general notes regarding panniers.
At least the 2010s aluminum frames bend a lot when pedaling in a standing position if the panniers are full and thus force you to pedal only in a sitting position. A steel-framed touring bike might increase the stiffness. When commuting, a laptop causes weight to be distributed to one side, which is difficult to compensate for with other items and pedaling in a standing position makes the situation worse.
Finally, let's say that these (or some current model) are probably a good choice as a companion for an electric bike. Your back stays dry when your stuff is in the bag.| Overall rating |
Simple & sturdy, enough adapters to make it fit. Seems durable and waterproof, even like the colour
