No more sticky back of the backpack
I am very happy with it. Just click it on your bike and when you arrive, fold the flap and carry on with your backpack.

Handy product for both on and off the bike
Handy product for both on and off the bike. Only on 1 side of the overflap is a small pocket, otherwise there are no pockets on the outside of the bag.

Quality which is well worth its price.
Fully meets expectations. Usage e.g. changing from pannier to rucksack goes more smoothly than in some demonstration films Also suitable for daily shopping as the bag can be loaded high (no need to close it in dry weather)

Highly recommended
Bag is lighter than expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. Laptop compartment is slightly wider, easily fits 2 laptops (I regularly carry), also a plus. Unfortunately, I (small version - 20L) miss a pocket on the outside for my water bottle. The small pocket on the outside is very handy, only with a lot of stuff in it, it becomes more difficult to switch from bag to backpack & vice versa.

Smart pannier and backpack in one, but not a pack mule bag
Been looking for a long time for a bag that attaches to the carrier in one click, but can also be worn as a backpack. Clever system with the flap that quickly switches the bag between backpack and pannier. This also makes it easy to switch to backpack mode when walking during a bike ride, and the backpack straps are also not in the way (or in the spokes!!) when it's on the bike. Loading is a bit tricky because both the backpack-side and the pannier-side have a hard inner plate and there is also a laptop compartment insert. So for loading up with groceries, the bag is less suitable. Really a perfect "daypack".

Top product, beautiful and practical!
Very happy with this bag! Very easy to adjust from pannier to backpack. Only it would be nice if there was a handle for the shoulder to make it easier to carry from the pannier.

Handy multifunctional bicycle bag
Handy bag that is one of the few that can be used as a pannier and a backpack. Easy to remove and put on the bike. Water resistance has not yet been tested
