I really like this bag. To look at, it doesn't seem all that capacious, but unzip the sides, and suddenly you have full size panniers.The main bag is sturdy and well padded, and has a zip that lets it expand a little. You can just about fit a cycle helmet in there. The panniers don't have padding, but they're quite spacious.Rather than fixing on with straps, this bag needs a special rack with a channel that a shaped panel on the bottom slides into. It's then secured by the yellow catch at the front. Once attached this way, I see no chance of it coming off by accident.The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that it doesn't have a dedicated fastener that I can use with a lock to secure it to the bike.

obviously I've given a bold headline for this bag but it really has been. Imagine a bag that slots on and off the topeak rack securely and easily, no sweaty back from rucksacks and a tardis like ability to swallow all your stuff and you've got the picture. I did buy the proper rack to go with this and whilst this lot is not cheap, it is really good. After 6 months use it's holding up well with commute and leisure cycling. there will never be masses of room but if you plan carefully there's enough. if I'm picky, when you fold both side panniers out there isn't a obvious point to secure the bottom of each on the rack as i wondered with a light load in, would they blow around?

I am really impressed by the quality of this bag. The reason i chose this bag despite the cost was because it was built for my rack, that i bought from Halfords. the bag is suitable for my use. It carries groceries quite well and carries my books to and from work. The side bags can be folded which is a feature most of the bags of this sort do not posses. a shoulder strap is included which means you can carry the bag if you are going to the supermarket without worrying about it getting stolen. the bag has not incurred any leakages so far but just to be safe buy a rain cover for it !!

I've bought 3 of these over the years. They are the most convenient and easy to use pannier for a bicycle. You can carry it like a bag when you lock the bike, up without looking like a cyclist carrying a pannier, either with the handles, or the shoulder strap. When you have a lot of shopping / gear ,the two side panels expand out and down, and the top compartment expands up. How to improve it ? Add a second small elasticated pocket inside the top compartment at the front or back for coins or keys. Flaws? Not really, but you need a compatible rack, and they're not cheap.

Its a nice bag but smaller than I expected although the sides do have small panniers that fold out. Its nice and sturdy and the materials used seem of good quality. With the correct pannier rack the bag is secure and won't slide around. I have the rack and it is good quality however when you add the cost of the bag and the rack its just under £100 which makes it fairly expensive. Yes its great quality but would represent better value based on its size if it was less expensive bearing in mind you need the rack with the MTX slide

Obviously you have to buy the bike adapter to affix these bags to, but these bags are great for bikes! They have so much storage, I can fit a laptop (15" Thinkpad) in the side pocket, perfect for commuting.In fact, to give you a idea of size I have managed to carry the following to work:1 x pair of jeans5 x t-shirts5 x pair of socks5 x pants1 x towel1 x 15" thinkpad laptop1 x pair of shoes1 x phone1 x wallet1 x shades (in case)1 x umbrellaThat's amazing. and it's water proof.Watch your tyre pressure though.

I've had this for a year now, used regularly in all weathers and all sorts of loads over a fair bit of rough ground.Not entirely waterproof. Heavy, prolonged rain will get in to the main compartment, and puddles will get into the panniers. Do what I did and line them all with light rubble sacks and this is not a problem.This is well made, it works well, all the zips still work, nothing has ripped and it holds more than you think.I would recommend this without reservation.

Quite expensive, but well worth it. My wife bought it for me, so why am I complaining about the price? I've had the pannier brackets for a long time now, but I couldn't make up my mind about the bag. Now I've got it, I find it really handy. I keep it on my hybrid bike, that I use for local journey's, and it takes up no room but has room to expand if I see something that I want to buy, but is too big for the normal size bag. It is also easy to get on and off.

This is a good trunk bag that slides easily on and off a Topeak MTX Super Tourist DX rack.It has a fair amount of room in the main part of the bag which also comes with removable velcro dividers.The added bonus are the folding panniers on either side that make this bag a lot roomier. If you are doing a lot of touring etc then some more substantial panniers would be called for, but for short journeys or less of a load, this is a handy bag.

Fantastic large bag/ fold down extra storage with the drop down sides! I tend to use just the top section to hold thermos soup bowl, fruit, wet weather gear and usual bike spares and there is plenty of room for more! Drop the paniers down and you have huge extra load capacity for basic shopping etc. So far waterproof, yes it does rattle over bumpy ground but remains secure. Highly recommend this product and defcon worth the money.

Quality trunk bag bought to replace my old mtx bag, masses of room especially when side panniers are opened up, everything I need for work commute, and more, fits in this bag, waterproofs, tubes and tools and more importantly my lunch and newspaper...?Can't vouch for its waterproof qualities, I'll be buying the rain cover for the winter to be on the safe side, but can vouch for its build, Topeak quality as expected.....

WOW WOT CAN I SAY if u have the rack get the bag if u have not got the rack get ONE AND THE BAG , PERFECT JUST RECEIVED & TESTED HOW EASY IT WAS TO SLIDE ON & OFF RACK PERFECT TOOK FOR A RIDE AROUND THE AREA BIKE TRACKS NO WORRYS THERE ARE NO RATTLES AS SOMEONE SAYS BUT MY ADVICE IF THERE IS IS TO SOFTLY TAP THE METAL SLIDING EDGE'S OF THE RACK TO TIGHTHEN THE SLIDING PART UP GET IT WELL WORTH THE MONEY , Shaun Byrne.

Very pleased with this expanding bag - it provides two large side panniers and a top box, and appears very sturdy so far. You need to have the correct Topeak pannier rack to fit it onto, but mine fits well, with none of the rattles commented on in another review. Note that the top box sticks up quite a long way above the rack, and is not easily compressible, so if you like your saddle low, it wouldn't fit underneath.

I bought this pannier bag set to replace a Topeake pannier set because this has the expanding trunk plus the panniers are larger & it has bottle carrier. Well made product, ease to carry into hotels etc with shoulder strap. Quick release. It's also very light compared to other panniers. Highly recommend. I've just done a 10 day trip to France & it carried everything with ease.

this is the second one I've bought as the other one got worn out with daily use over 5 years use, easy to attach on the proper bike rack and defiantly water/storm proof as never let water in, the only difference with this one is its a bit smaller than the last one I had with the side pockets but larger on the top. well worth the money
