Really wonderful bag. Commuting to work every day on the bike can be a hassle, but this little bag makes life easier. I can usual fit a book, a packed lunch and a thermos inside comfortably. The side pouches are useful for wallets, keys, lights, etc. The best part about the bag is that they say its water resistant, but I can say from experience that after riding 50 minutes in the worst torrential downpour of the season that everything inside was 90% dry! Considering that official waterproof bags cost well into the stratosphere, you should seriously take a good hard look at purchasing this item.

Great Product!

I take a lot of 25-30 mile trips and needed a bag which wasnt too tall but had the capacity to hold a couple of bottles of water, first aid kit, snacks and a jacket, if necessary. This bag fit the bill! It is of excellent quality, has two large side pockets and a back pocket. Large reflector strips and is insulated to boot for my bottled water. As a bonus it isnt so tall that it hits me in the backside while riding. I love this bag and plan to order another one!

This is a great bag

This bag has all the space I need for short rides. Large center compartment for larger items/tools, two generous side pouches for lighter items, rear pouch is great for cell phone or wallet and top adjustable elastic string mesh which holds a light jacket easily. Attaches by velcro straps on each corner. I recommend it.

perfect size

This rear rack bag has plenty of room to store all you need for day trips and short rides. It is big enough for a few library books or extra clothing, supplies and a sack lunch. The pockets are great for storing items like my cell phone and medical information. I like being able use the shoulder strap and take it with me, when shopping. My bike rack design doesnt allow me to utilize the 2 front corner straps but the other 4 straps secure it well enough, so far. I plan to sew extensions to the front 2 straps in case I decide to carry something really heavy or want to use panniers underneath it. I have a small bike with my seat set very low and the bag fits very snugly up against the back of my seat. This isnt a problem, but when sitting far back on the seat I do feel it.

Nice bag - needs longer velcro straps

Nice bag - plenty of space. Has a little loop that is perfect to attach a clip-on tail light. Only wish the Velcro straps were a little longer & stronger, the dont attach well to my rack. They would work well for a short rack.

great bag

2 bottom and 4xside/corner straps tightly hold it on rack

Very easy to install. I bought this with the rack as recommended by Amazon.
Niagara Cycle has great service and fast shipping.

Big and durable

Im very happy with my purchase of this trunk rack bag. I ride a Specialized GlobeCity, and this fits perfectly on the factory rack. The side pockets are perfect for wallet/keys, while the main compartment is plenty large enough for a few groceries, a change of clothes, etc. The net on top is convenient for a pair of flip flops, grocery bags, etc. Having this rack definintely beats balancing my groceries off my handlebars! I still am in the market for some panniers for bigger shopping trips, but all in all this bag is great for the bicycle commuter, or even a weekend biker whod like to carry along a picnic.

The zippers are secure, yet easy to manage with one hand. I have not been able to try out the water-resistance, but am very happy with the overall quality of the product. Best of all, it arrived three days before the estimated arrival date!

its s good bag

Its a good bag but I have no suitable rack for it. I paid about 60.00 in a bike store for it. Here it is for $28.+/- but youve got shipping to deal with as well.

Very Nice rack bag

I needed a rear rack bag that would not get in the way of my bike seat since it sets somewhat low. This one does a nice job and has plenty of room for just about anything you would need. The main compartment measures about 12x5x5 inside to give you an idea. A good find. Fits on my Sunlite rear rack perfectly. Some report that it does not stay in place,however it does have two straps on the bottom and one on each corner.

Great Value

The bag is a great value. However, I did have to modify the bag with some extra velcro straps to fit my rack. The first time I used the bag was on a ride where it rained the entire time. Everything inside the bag remained dry.

Love the bike bag..

functional bag

This is not a small bag, lots of space for everything you will need for day trips, tools, munchies, spare tube,cell phone and jacket. Because of low profile design, bag does not look huge on bike.
