Great backpack pannier combo. I just needed it for work so the smaller size is perfect. It clips onto my bike well. I ride with a fair amount of bumps and haven't had any issues with it falling off. It converts quickly. I've seen people complain about the stiffness of the zippers, but after just a couple uses, it seems fine. Fits my laptop, mouse, notepad, pens, hat, u-lock, bungee cords, chargers, and a small jacket with room to spare. It's not the comfiest backpack I've ever used, but it does the job. I was concerned I would feel the hooks in my back, but that doesn't happen as they are not positioned in a way that touches me. I'm 5'8" and this backpack seems like a good fit. I have an owala standard size water bottle and the side pocket is quite tight. It hasn't ripped, but I have some concern that it might because I have to really stretch it to get the bottle to fit.

I do wish the laptop had a separate zipper pocket. It can be mildly annoying to pull out of the main pocket. I think the bigger size does have that, so seems strange to not have one here, but it's not that big of a deal.

Since the back of the bag is also the part that touches your back when its converted, be aware that it can get dirty when riding. Mine usually has some dust on it and also gets dirt in the straps pocket, so I have to brush it off a bit before using it as a backpack.

Overall, I really like it so far. Been using it for a few weeks and haven't had any real issues. It's pricey, but there aren't many other options that I thought seemed worth it, so I'm happy with the purchase.

Simple, effective device to keep my panniers from jumping off the rack. Easy to install. I just wish my panniers had come with them.

Wonderful bag to transport my suit yo work.

I love that while it is a very capable pannier, it looks like a (rather sleek) regular backpack. It’s super easy to “convert” from backpack to pannier and it feels super durable. Haven’t had to use the rain cover yet but it’s a really nice touch. I can fit in everything I need to bring to work (emergency change of clothes included) and I haven’t felt any changes in terms of balance while riding my bike, which was my main concern with a full 30L backpack.

I like how big it is & how organized I feel having it. It’s better than my old pannier. I’m dealing with less clutter with how many different compartments/pockets it has.

I have daily rode the garment pannier for the last six months and love it. As an all weather bicycle commuter, this suit bag does everything I ask it to do. I usually only have a sweater or jacket hanging in the bag with a pair of dress shoes and a set of rain gear in an outer pocket. As needed, I can easily fit my computer and peripherals in the bag with no issue. I even have figured out how to strap two or three pizza boxes on the top using the adjustable shoulder strap. Even with daily use, there are no signs of wear and tear. As a lanky six foot tall guy, I have had to get a little creative on how to pack my suit jackets so they don't get wrinkled . I also wish the lid had a hanging loop like the base so it doesn't hang wonky when I am loading it, but these are minor in the grand scheme of things. Regardless, I can't imagine commuting without it!

Great service, quick to reply to my needs as well shipping the purchase the same day.
Thank you

It is great! Does what it’s supposed to do, and does it well. No complaints!

Pannier Backpack Convertible 2.0 PLUS (30L)

I love this backpack. I can fit my office clothes in here, it’s easy to grab them. Also I think I might use this backpack while traveling. I will remove the hooks (unscrew them) and use that pocket as a laptop compartment.

Bought this as a handlebar bag for bikepacking and commuting to work. For commuting it's super sturdy and very user friendly. When I use it for bikepacking I set up a support rack to help keep it steady as you would for any other bag this size. The material seems to be of great quality. The only thing I'd like to see is an external elastic mesh for water bottles and easy access snacks.

I love this pannier so much. Mostly use it as a pannier but having the option to switch to backpack mode is, in a word, a game changer!

The internal and external pockets hold whatever I need. What I love most is the form factor, the 'boxiness'. Unlike my old Serratus pannier which is tapered to the bottom, this pannier holds ERRYDING. Heck, I hauled a flat of twelve 500 mL canning jars in it. Granted, they filled the pannier, but they fit.

The locking mechanism is great, very convenient. Full disclosure, I did have it break on me when I wiped out on black ice. Reid was very patient with me despite my rude email (thanks Reid) and got me a replacement for the cost of shipping. Very fair of him. Excellent customer service.

If you are on the fence, get off it! Support a great Canadian company and buy this pannier. Or check out the new Inverter Pannier Backpack which looks like it's an even MOAR elegant and thoughtful design than this one!

Keep up the good work, Reid!

Our panniers arrived a week ago. Shipping was quick and the products arrived in perfect condition and just as expected. We look forward to using them this summer

I believe it will be perfect. My new carbon road bike has no way to mount a rear rack and I bike like a pilgrim in southern Iowa. No services for miles ie while route. This bag can carry whatever I need or leave empty to store a jacket as the weather heats up. I was able to stow a knee length puffer coat with room to spare. I can’t get out to tide til the weather warms up but I’m very impressed with my purchases.

It's winter here in Montreal so real testing will have to wait a couple of months. I was looking for a multi functional handle bar bag and this seems to be a good fit. It's a good size and can hold all my stuff for 100k day tours. I will also use it for extra storage for multi day trips where I will have easy access to food etc without having to open up my panniers. It will be really useful for local grocery runs. Plus it has the added advantage of looking smart on and off the bike. I am very happy with the purchase
