The perfect bag

Okay so I recently started riding my bike to work. And I had a generic pannier from amazon and it worked fine on then bike. But getting it on and off my bike carrying my clothes and lunch was a bit of a pain. I buy this bag and it is a straight game changer. Easy to mount and dismount. The conversion to backpack is excellent. It’s spacious. I carry shoes, clothes, a towel and my lunch and it still has some room. It’s durable. It’s the perfect bag for commuting cyclists. Excellent purchase and I’d highly recommend to anyone.

Thanks so much Vincent! Good on you for starting the daily bike commute! We are stoked to be part of your journey! Love the feedback and super happy you are loving tha Pannier Backpack! Thanks for taking the time to leave your review! Many new riders rely on the reviews so it is super helpful all around. Thanks for riding with us and all the very best!

Not Durable

The idea of the pack is great, but it immediately got torn up while on my rack during my commute to work. For that reason it’s probably better used as a backpack than a pannier. For the price it’s not a pack I’d recommend over other more reliable panniers that are more affordable than this. Seems like a good idea though.

Great pannier backpack

This has become my go to backpack for work and just lives on my bike. Would recommend!

Being a taller man, I have bigger cloths. This lets me fit all my work requirements (lunch, computer, glasses, water bottle, bike lock etc) and long sleeve shirts with pants with ease. It even leaves room for anything small I might need to bring home.

The bag converts easily to a backpack and is serviceable for short term usage. I would not want this as an all day back pack.

If I had to knock it a little bit, I think the Velcro on the side of the back pack where one might put. Water bottle could be on both sides or a bit more secure. My heal has kicked a water bottle out and the. Another time when I forgot to use a clip to lock it to the Velcro it rattle out over some rough road.

It should be also noted if you load the bag up it might throw off your balance a little. But that’s true of any single pannier.

I would recommend this bag to anyone wanting to bike. You can get many uses out of like 2 day trips, school, work, even shopping.

Thanks Christopher! Stoked you love the pannier backpack and it has become your reliable daily companion! We make this gear to help fellow commuters like you! You might be able to place the bag a little further on your rack to give more heel clearance by adjusting the pannier clips (press the top button and slide the hooks down the rail). Thanks for riding with us and all the best!

Rarely, if ever, do I feel moved enough to write a review of a product (good OR bad), but this is one I find worthwhile. I love backpacks and biking and have never been able to find a bag that I was convinced enough would meet my exacting standards to marry the two. I needed something with a lot of storage space, weatherproof enough to carry a laptop in, and convertible to work as a backpack or pannier bag. I thought that, if such a thing existed, it would cost me at least $300 based on the research I had done last year.

When I returned to the task of picking out such a bag, I found this one very quickly and was STOKED. I waited for it to arrive like a kid at Christmas. I bike 11 miles to work each way, 2 days per week with a dog in a trailer behind me. In this bag, I usually carry a (large!) water bottle, some emergency tools, TWO laptops, a portable monitor, a change of clothes, a small lunch, and assorted odds and ends. And I don't even feel like I'm pushing it quite to its limit! I never thought I'd be able to get this all in a single backpack-style pannier bag. This has replaced my Topeak MTX Trunk Bag EXP and is doing a better job for my use case than the old bag ever did. Cannot recommend it enough!

I should note it does take some squeezing to get my 16 inch laptop in the pocket, but it's a weirdly designed 16" computer — much deeper than most with that branding would be. I don't fault Two Wheel Gear for this, but it might be worth noting.

Thanks for feeling the urge to provide that awesome feedback and use case Spencer! I commend you on your daily commute and especially as a fellow dog lover for hauling the pooch to work twice/week. Love that you do that! Really stoked that you appreciate all the thought and design revisions we have made to this product over the years. It has been a labour of love. I am always so grateful for the people that see that and appreciate it. Thanks for riding with us and we value you as a member of our little bike commuter community. All the very best!
