BV 26L Rear Bike Bag - Bike Saddle Bag with 4 Zippered Compartments & Adjustable Hooks - Water-Resistant Bike Bags for Bicycles with Reflective Trim, Taillight Hanger & Handle - Fits Most Racks

This is my 3rd set of saddle bags. The first 2 were horrible and disintegrated during their maiden voyages! This one, I took it on a 72 mile trail ride from Chicago to Gurnee, IL. They worked great! Very sturdy. I had Gatorade bottles and other weight in them and they held up. Basically I got stuck as the luggage carrier for everyone else. The clip at the bottom of each bag is very convenient and holds them in place from flapping or getting into your spokes. Still not sure about the water proofing? I read all the reviews about how these bags are not good in that area, but everything else people raved about. So, I bought them and then sprayed on some shoe water proofing and it seemed to take. Two of the underpasses we crossed were flooded, so we just drove through them. Nothing in the bags got wet? Also, some parts of the trail were a little wet and muddy. Again, no moisture ended up in the bag. Reviews said that the seams and zippers leaked when it rained, but the bags have a flap over the zippers to protect them, so not sure how that would be possible? The handle is nice and the bags can be easily be removed and reattached. In all honesty, the only reason I am writing this review is because these bags are such a great buy; and for the cost, you will not find any saddle bags better.

First, I've had extensive experience with luggage of all sorts, especially with military load bearing gear. This gives me a bias of regarding these panniers as temporary--if they give me two years of use, that's great! I've had military duffel bags of heavy canvas fail--the material on these panniers is much thinner and exposure to sunlight and road salts will eventually destroy the bags. I will have to be careful about sharp objects. I have a tendency to overload my luggage--it is quite possible to put more than fifty pounds in them. I like that I still have use of my bike cargo rack for additional cargo--if I secure the load to the rack. The large pockets look adequate for small shopping trips or for a weekend bike trip. As my bike is mostly a way to get to work and back, I can keep my work stuff and bike tools inside. The outer pockets would be useful for plastic bags and things I needed to get to immediately. Zippers and seams seem adequate if I can avoid overloading the panniers. The reflectors are a nice extra. I plan to use hard plastic boxes to store my bike tools and plastic trash bags to prevent loss and keep other cargo dry. It's tempting to chuck everything in the panniers, but backpacks are best thought of as a bag filled with little bags. Stuff gets wet, holes and rips occur--a roll of duct tape is not needed now, but I intend to keep a roll with my bike. The spare inner tubes have to go somewhere! Being able to remove the panniers quickly is a plus. I'd rather store my bike indoors, but sometimes I have to lock it to a bike rack or other "immobile" object for a few hours. The two main compartments can be padlocked, but it's only enough to keep lazy people honest--the zippers can be ripped open. There isn't any way to lock the outer two compartments. Not bad for the price--compare it to a backpack.

This is a decent product, very high quality for the cost. That being said, it does not come with a rack or any type of support frame (I ordered West Biking Universal Adjustable Equipment Stand Footstock Bicycle Carrier Rack with Reflective Logo, 110 lb Capacity, Black to replace my current rack and add support for the panniers), and the only type of support included in this pannier is a soft plastic insert sewn into the rear of each side that will keep the pannier from bulging out into your tires if it is not overloaded. If you want the pannier to remain in shape you will have to get creative with some plastic or cardboard and make your own inserts, otherwise it will collapse like any empty bag. It has four nylon straps, two on each end, to attach the pannier to your rack. Additionally, it has a hook on the back of each side with metal attachment points to further secure the pannier to your ride. I have yet to test how secure this is under load, but so far it seems to do a decent job of holding the pannier to the rack. There is a nylon handle on the top of the pannier for carrying, but the overall feel of it is one I do not wish to test with any decent amount weight in the bags. The zipper slider is very tiny, something you would expect on a small coin purse, and does not have the feel of something that is part of an item intended to carry cargo; I would not try to force these zippers as they do not feel like they would take much punishment before they broke. There are four pockets, the two main pockets which are of a decent size, and the two secondary pockets which are about a third of the main pocket size. While you won't be carrying a massive amount of stuff in this pannier, you could easily fit two grocery bags worth of items in it. This pannier may be even more sturdy than I expect, I have no wish to push my luck and see how much it will take to break anything. What I state in this review is only my opinion based on look and feel, not actual trial and error. Overall, a very good buy for the price; just remember that you do get what you pay for. If you are only carrying small or light loads then this pannier is an excellent deal.

I recently purchased the BV Bike Panniers 26L with Adjustable Hooks, and overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. These panniers have proven to be a reliable and spacious solution for carrying my belongings while cycling. They come with a few exceptional features that make them stand out from other bike panniers on the market. First and foremost, the build quality of these panniers is exceptional. The materials used are durable and weather-resistant, ensuring that my belongings remain dry and protected even during unexpected rain showers. The zippers are sturdy and show no signs of wear and tear, even after several months of regular use. I have peace of mind knowing that my items are securely stored within these panniers. One of the standout features of these panniers is the adjustable hooks. They make installation and removal a breeze, allowing me to attach and detach the panniers from my bicycle rack quickly and effortlessly. The hooks are sturdy and hold the panniers firmly in place, even on bumpy rides. The adjustable design also ensures compatibility with a wide range of bicycle racks, making them suitable for various types of bikes. The 26L capacity of these panniers is impressive. They provide ample space for storing a wide range of items, including groceries, a change of clothes, a laptop, or even camping gear. The internal compartments and pockets help keep things organized and easily accessible. I appreciate the thoughtful design that accommodates my storage needs while maintaining a sleek and compact appearance. While the BV Bike Panniers perform exceptionally well in most aspects, there is one minor drawback to mention. On rare occasions, the panniers can come into contact with the back wheel, especially when heavily loaded or on uneven terrain. Although this doesn't happen frequently and doesn't significantly affect the overall performance, it's worth considering when packing the panniers to avoid any potential issues. Despite this minor issue, the BV Bike Panniers 26L with Adjustable Hooks have become an essential accessory for my cycling adventures. Their durability, spaciousness, and easy installation make them an excellent choice for any cyclist in need of reliable storage options. Whether you're commuting, running errands, or embarking on long-distance tours, these panniers will undoubtedly enhance your cycling experience. I highly recommend the BV Bike Panniers 26L with Adjustable Hooks to any cyclist looking for a well-designed and versatile storage solution for their bike. Don't let the occasional wheel contact deter you from experiencing the many benefits these panniers have to offer. They are a fantastic investment that will enhance your cycling adventures for years to come.

I have now had these for 2 years and they still operate like new. The zippers all still work. I am really hard on everything and these have held up incredibly well. They have a small hole where I smacked the pavement hard but they came out of that better than I did. I highly recommend if you want durable, functional and all around great storage bags for your bike.

Tons of storage capacity if you plan ahead and pack well. I just did a self contained, 6 day bikepack trip across MO with these as my primary storage. My friend was very envious of my pannier since I didn't have to dump them to get what was stored in them. He had some very nice, high end bags, but had to dump them to get things from the bottom. By the end of the trip he hated his bags and I loved these more and more. We had heavy rain a couple of days along the ride and these bad boys never leaked or got wet inside. I was very happy! Inside the panniers I was able to carry: Stove kit, sleeping pad, French press coffee maker (gotta have luxury item), 5 packs of Ramen, 12 instant coffee "tea bags", wet weather top and bottom, battery brick, phone electronics bag, tent stake bag, beanie, 4 pairs socks, two shirts, and a handful of loose snacks and whatnot. Truthfully, I could probably go 5 days out of these bags if I were to lose some of the items I took, especially the coffee pot, but I had to see what I could fit! On the daily usage, these bags are equally awesome. I like having four, separate places to stash things. It makes it easy to get in and out of, rather than unrolling a large, single, dry-bag style pannier. And for the low cost-these are fantastic. Durability over the trip was great. Nothing broke, had rub spots, or any other "cheap" style damage. Great bags.

I've had these bags for about a year now and they're okay for the price but they have developed problems over time. Easy to install and they can hold a lot. The zippers are good quality in my opinion. I use these for grocery shopping and they I really pack them up and the zippers and seams have stood up to the task. The material has proven to be durable. They're not water proof but they will protect your belongings for a short amount of time in light rainfall On the back of the bags are these little bungie cords with hooks on them that you are supposed to attach to the frame I guess. The hooks are made of a smooth plastic and they didn't really attach well to any part of my bike. One of them came off mid ride once, got caught in the gears, and broke off. That sucked. Also I have had one of the bags bend in toward my tire and get caught up in it which stopped my bike immediately, but not me of course >_< It would be better if the main compartments had some sort of stiff backing t keep the corners from sagging inward. I'd say there are better choices out there if you're willing to spend a little more but this is a good enough choice if you've got a strict budget for this purchase

This is a great not too large saddle bag. It is replacing an old Nashbar bag and is surprisingly better. It has strong attachment straps to attach to the rack and bungee cords to attach vertically to the rack. It does not have YKK zippers, but the zippers appear work acceptably well. I can't speak to the waterproof capability as I ride in the desert. It may be waterproof or water resistant but I likely won't know for a long time. Also, while I stated it wasn't too big, it does have 2 compartments on each side and is bigger than I expected and certainly bigger than the old Nashbar bag.

Me gusta que le cabe todo lo que necesito, una muda de ropa que incluye zapatos de vestir, mi colación para desayunar, herramientas para una urgencia, y algo más que necesite. Aguanta una lluvia ligera sin mojar lo que lleva, pero ya me toco una lluvia torrencial y se trasmino la lluvia, de manera que llevo algunas bolsas plásticas para envolver aquello que no quiero que se moje y asunto arreglado. Cuando se desgaste voy a comprar otra igual.

Good build and fit for use

This is a good product at this price point. I went for this one as it was comparatively cheap, so I wasn't expecting super-duper quality. Having said that, it's well designed, solidly constructed and the material is about what you might expect. I don't think it's waterproof, nor does it claim to be. It fits very well on my rack, I like that it doesn't have a top section (so my rear lights mounted on the seat post are visible) and the inner sides are reasonably firm where they lie against the rack. The bungees (2) that are included are excellent quality, and I really don't see how the panniers could end up rubbing against the back wheel, as one commentator reported, as they seem very stable. It's still early days and I will report back if they turn out to be a bust, but so far I like them. They are about as large as I would like, fit very well to the rack (four top fasteners and the two on the side) and reasonably solid in construction. For the price I paid for them I think they are about right, and can recommend them.

Es bonita pero tiene poca capacidad. Además, las cremalleras parecen endebles, no sé si aguantarán mucho sin romperse.

自転車に物積みっぱなしにできるのでかなり便利。 届いた時は小さいと思ったけど、使ってみるとちょうどいいサイズでした、普段使いにはあんまり大きいと邪魔かな。
