Fine quality bicycle bag. Lacks an anti-theft system.

- Joep, 20 February, 2024

Fine quality bicycle bag. Thanks to the QL3.1 system, you easily remove the bag from the bike in one move. The bag has enough capacity for most things and thanks to the various pockets, you can keep the things in the bag neatly organised. Rolling up the bag requires some getting used to and is a bit more complicated than with most panniers. But this makes the bag truly waterproof. The biggest disadvantage of the bag is that there is no anti-theft system available (yet) for the QL3.1 system, while this is available for the QL2.1 system. For a bag costing almost €100, I would not only expect a theft protection system to be available, but also that it would come as standard with every bag.

Pros & Cons

100% waterproof
High-quality materials
Very easy (dis)assembly thanks to QL 3.1 system
High price compared to competition
No anti-theft protection for QL3.1 system

Very nice bag for daily use.

- Remco, 14 November, 2023

I use the bag for commuting and shopping. It holds a lot and the bag is really waterproof so you don't have to worry about a rain shower. The handy click system makes it easy to attach the bag to the bike and you don't have to worry about it coming loose when you ride over a bump. Very nice bag to use and solid quality.

Pros & Cons

Easy to attach
Shoulder strap to carry the bag separately
Waterproof

Pros & Cons

100% waterproof
Durable material
Handy click system QL3.1
Carrying strap could be more comfortable

Fine bicycle bag

- Hans, 16 April, 2023

Fine bag, you snap it right into the fixed bracket you have to attach to your bike. Off with one hand movement. Spacious bag with separate compartments for smaller items.

Pros & Cons

Quick attach and detach with handy snap system
Rainproof
Separate compartments on the inside
Closing (rolling up and clicking in) more time
Mounting the hanging strip is a bit of a puzzle
