Reviews A necessary accessory for your bag  by: on: 08-Aug 2009 I have used the EXP bag witout a rain cover for 6 months or so, and love it for both commuting and camping. Recently, I was caught in a down pour, and EVERYTHING in the bag got wet, including wallet and its contents, my change of clothes for the office, and my cell phone, which now only works on speaker phone. I will edit this review when I get slammed again, but in the meantime, I will be carrying this cover and plastic bags for phone and wallet. A simple compact raincover for the MTX D/EXP trunk bags by: on: 09-Jul 2009 From what I've seen, It's small, it's waterproof and it works. That's all I ask a rain cover to do. The only negative I see, and this is true of every raincover I've ever used for trunk bags and panniers, is that they don't protect the inside of the luggage from road spray from the wheel. An all around good product. by: on: 03-Jun 2009 This is simply a good all around product. It does what it says and works well. Some minor things could make it better, like less flapping in wind and/or easier to put on, but again, these are minor things. I do like that it stows pretty compactly in the trunk bag. Don't get the pack without getting the rain cover! not truly helpful  by: on: 27-May 2009 The main design problem with the rain cover is that water collects and pools inside of it at the bottom of the panniers. When the rear wheel kicks up water it sprays off the bottom of the rack and then drips down the inside of the panniers and collects inside of the rain cover. I do not have fenders, this might mitigate the problem. The fabric is also easily stained by road grime, and quickly turns from pretty yellow to spotted with brown. Overall, I would say it is fairly useless as the panniers get wet anyway and the main compartment is fairly waterproof already as it is protected by the top compartment. Save yourself $15 and just use a plastic grocery bag on the top unless you also plan on investing in a pair of fenders. View All ReviewsView All Panniers/Bags |
