 Topeak's stuff is functional and durable--for nylon December 29, 2006

I use this bag/pannier for grocery shopping and carrying my commuting gear, and it works fine. The best part about Topeak's stuff is the Quick Track system that allows the bag to connect to a Topeak rack easily. No mucking about with Velcro---just slide it into place and click it down. Is the bag perfect? No. The trunk gets compressed when the pannier's elastic straps are hooked to the rack. The nylon fades badly in sunlight, and it isn't really waterproof at all. But it's cheap enough, and works well.
 Good but could be better May 24, 2007

The good: 1) The materials used are good quality and feel like they will hold up under use. 2) The construction is good. It is a well put together bag. 3) The ease of use with the Topeak rack. It fits easily and securily. It is a good system that Topeak has. 4) The top is lightly insulated. Good spot for putting my lunch during the commute.
The bad: 1) The price. There are several less expensive options out there. 2) No exterior easy to reach pockets for phone, wallet, keys etc.. 3)The panniers should be a couple inches wider and taller. The bags are a little undersized.
In the end I would have rated it higher if the bags were just a little larger and if it were just a bit less expensive. Also, I had problems ordering directly from Amazon. The order was filled by Amazon with an expected delivery date of 3-5 business days. Two days after the order was placed I went to track the shipment and it hadn't even picked up yet. It stated that there was a problem getting shipped out. So I had to pay the extra for expedited delivery. That was disappointing. I didn't even get a notice from Amazon that there was a problem.
That was my original review but after 7 months my opinion has changed. I would not give it 3 stars. I am currently on my 2nd bag because I had to return the original after 3 wks. The bag began to come apart at the seems. Now my second bag has the same problem. I only put clothes in there so it's not that I overload it. This is something you might consider if you are using this for your daily commute.
Overall a very good purchase April 12, 2007

I have been using this bag for 4 months 2-3 times per week on my commutes to work around 30mi round trip and I am very happy with it. I am using it with the MTX explorer disc rear rack.
First the things I like.
1) Roomy enought for a change of clothes, lunch, tools and a towel.
2) Materials seems to be high quality and I experienced no rips or failures.
3) I really like the MTX system which keeps the bag super secure even when I jump curbs or potholes. It also makes installing and removing the bag very quick and easy.
4) This bag keeps water and dirt off my back in poor weather.
5) Main compartment seems to be waterproof.
6) Good price from Amazon.
7) I dont hit it with my ancles when its fully expanded. I ride a short chainstay singlespeed mtb and it was a problem with other systems.
Things I am not real crazy about.
1) Pockets in top lid are poorly designed and stuff fall out of them. A little velcro or a zipper would have been great.
2) No mesh, or side pockets since they are used by the panniers. I think it could have been designed a little better.
3) A little heavy, but compared to my daily load its trivial.
4) Side bags are not waterproof.
5) Waterproff cover is extra.
I feel the negatives are relatively minor as far as I am concerned so I give it 4 stars, and I recommend this product.
 just right January 22, 2007

I did a lot of shopping around when I started looking for a trunk with panniers. This one was just the right size and I was pleasantly surprized with the size of the panniers. They may look small but they hold quite a bit! And I liked the fact that when I did not need them they fold up out of the way. The trunk is sturdy and solid and I'm glad I can remove it easily and take it with me with the convenient shoulder strap. I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend it to you.
Love it July 24, 2007

I just love this bag. The rack was challenging to attach to my bike but was worth it. Works great. It is big enough for little day trips around my neighborhood. I like that the main compartment is insulated. We went for ice cream last night at the grocery story and it was still just as firm as when bought by the time I got home. Great product!
