I've had the bag for a few weeks as a daily bike commuter in SF. I love this bag. The sleeve for the laptop is safe and well-padded, and it's nice that it's easy to get to apart from the larger storage compartment. The large storage compartment is great. My office has a gym I go to after riding in, so I carry a lot of clothing items, food, and other items that all fit well. The additional internal pocket is great. The two external pockets are so convenient for quick access to keys, headphones, sunglasses, gloves, and more. The umbrella holder works great, as does the bottle holder. I have a travel coffee bottle that fits securely and stays in place. I haven't used the rain cover yet, but it looks nice. Without the rain cover, the bag has been waterproof against the misty San Francisco mornings. The attachment system is awesome, it's so easy to clip on and off your bike rack. The design for the transition from pannier to backpack makes the change super quick once you get used to it. I can't recommend this bag enough.

Additionally, this company cares about its customers. When I initially ordered the bag, they accidentally sent the 22L bag instead of the 30L. I contacted customer service, and Reid was quick to respond to my email and all further communications. Reid was friendly and apologetic and ensured a new back with a return label went out immediately. Mistakes happen, but the level of customer service in rectifying the issue quickly shows they stand behind their product and customers. Overall, the bag and the company get an A+ from me.

Very Well-made and organized

This is my 2nd time to purchase this bag. I bought one 2 years ago and absolutely live it. I use it in my front basket. Which I am able to Velcro it down through the basket. I've also used it on my back bike rack. It's a great bag. I've tried to use it on my front handle bar but it's too heavy when loaded, so it doesn't work well there.

This is the perfect bag for day trips for me, able to fit wallet, keys, book, and a snack. Spare tube and small tool kit, too.

Great backpack pannier for rainy weather!

Been using it about 2 weeks now. love the size and backpack convert(quick and easy), working really well for my daily commute.

Great size. Sturdy construction. Holds just what I need.

Quick shipment, well designed and constructed, and a good price! Highly recommended.

This bag is great for commuting and has plenty of space for your things. My favorite part is the clip for your key.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have looked far and wide for two years trying to find a way to fix my older panniers that I love and use weekly. This was the perfect replacement to the original. It was hard to find it, until I thought about Google lens search. And then narrowed down to the few suppliers who actually have this in stock and would ship to the US.

I’ve been using the Alpha 6L smart handlebar bag for a couple of weeks now while crisscrossing South Korea. I bought it for this trip using a slightly different setup.
The bag is very well made and I love the orange interior lining. No hunting for stuff in a dark black bag. The way the zipped compartment opens is nice to access the entire compartment. I just wish it was slightly larger. With the Joey battery system, only smaller cameras fit inside.
The other compartment with a roll top closure is also orange inside and holds a few things like sunglasses, wallet, sunscreen, etc.
totally waterproof in a downpour. Easy to hang from the handlebar with two voilé straps provided.
The biggest bonus was the Joey battery and charger which I connected to my dynamo hub and kept the phone charged up all day while navigating and taking photos.
Amazing value for such a well-made bag, compared to a lot of over-priced bags on the market. A definite recommend.

Material keeps the insides dry and makes it easy to wipe off grime. The zip almost seals it closed which I appreciate. Holds 2x tire levers, 1x inner, puncture repair kit and a portable toolkit set. It's the perfect size for me.

I bought my pannier/ backpack about 2 years ago, and absolutely love it. I commute 3 miles to work several times each week, year round. The bag holds exactly the right amount of stuff (phone/ wallet + laptop, notebook, cords, with some room for clothes), keeps everything dry, and the conversion process is easy and simple. I never write reviews for products, but love this bag so much I'm motivated to let the world know! Very well designed, and constructed.

I bought this pannier a year ago as a birthday gift for myself, and have used it every day since. Every. Day.
I don't drive, I strictly bike everywhere, and this pannier is the first to be able to keep up for so long. I have put it through everything, from rain, snow, sleet, to mud, and it took it all and still works like new! It gets used as an everyday work bag, groceries, day pack, and everything in between. I used it on several tours, and I am certainly not known to take great care of my stuff, so I got used to having to replace panniers each fall, but this one I can barely notice any wear. It truly lives up to the hype, and you can stop looking for a better pannier, because as far as I can tell, this is as good as it gets.

This is exactly what I wanted to carry my mini pump, ID, and multi-tool! The price was right, the delivery fast and safe and I'm a satisfied customer.
