Green GuruGear Dutchy Bike Bicycle Bike Upcycled Made in USA Pannier Bag (design may vary)

I've recently been fixing up my whole new commuter bike setup. Didn't realize panniers could be so pricey! But I went with this one to support something made in the US and because I liked the ethos of reusing old banners and stuff.In terms of utility, it's great. A medium sized bag, very sturdy, flattens well for when it's empty, quick and easy to clip on the cargo rack. Come with shoulder strap and an inner divider pocket (probably ideal for slotting in your laptop or something like that). Maybe an extra small pocket or something would've been nice for smaller items, but otherwise I like keeping it simple as it is.The best but also kind of a gamble part is the design. If you're really particular about the "look" of your setup, then maybe not ideal, but I trusted 'em. I got an interesting cartoony castle with pine tree thing. I wasn't sure exactly how I felt about the castle 😅 but I liked the pine tree. And I covered the castle with stickers anyways, like I do with all my stuff cause at my heart I'm still a 13-year-old girl, apparently.

Really like this product as it fits for my bike but the covering on the pack started to fall apart at the seams. I was able to sew it but it has not even been a whole year that I have had it.

Bags are wonderful. Only issue is they have phone numbers and business names and logos on them. Don’t really like advertising for someone or some business.

I've been using these bags on my e-bike for a few months now. I keep them on my bike all the time, but they stay folded up in the back when not in use. There is a heavy velcro tab that keeps them in place.The straps on the back are adjustable so as to keep the panniers tight against the bike to prevent them from clattering about. Like the velcro, the attachment straps seem to be pretty sturdy, along with the metal hooks and elastic pieces that complete the attachment mechanism. I plan on bringing the bags in for the Michigan winter months as I doubt that the elastic will survive the extreme weather of winter.The cutting board in the bottom of the bag is a thick, solid, yet light weight plastic that supports some pretty heavy loads. I have used these bags on grocery shopping runs. I take them off and carry them into the store and attach them to the shopping cart. Then, leaving the plastic/paper bags alone, I load the groceries directly into the panniers. I've filled two panniers (one on each side of my bike) with groceries (think canned goods, bottles of wine, milk, produce) and they don't really seem to strain under the weight.Although the main compartment material is waterproof (seems like a plastic impregnated canvas), I wouldn't call the whole bag waterproof. The top of the bag simply folds over and velcro closed. There is some overlap of the top over the sides AND there are additional flaps that protect the top along the sides, but I'd guess that a strong wind/rain could push some water into the bags. I've used them while riding in the rain and haven't had water get into the bags myself, so all-in-all they're pretty water resistant.You've probably already picked up on this, but the photo of the product is just and example of what the bag COULD look like. But this is a pannier made re-purposing material from advertising signs. So one of my bags is red and white with only pieces of a few words scattered across them. The other one is super-awesome IMO. It was made from a well known craft beer company.All in all, I couldn't be happier with these. They are very well made; I love the repurposing of materials that would otherwise end up in a land fill. They are sturdy and fit well on my bike!

When i first unpacked it, it looked a little bit smaller than I thought it would be, but measures perfectly to advertised specs. Folds very flat whe not in use but deep when fully deployed. Weights about 2.5 lbs. bottom comes out as 'cutting board'. Rides just low enough to easily still use the deck if the rack for a load of cat food or a basket. It's really about as big as it can be: any higher and it would make the deck unusable. Any wider, and you'd clip it with your heel. Any deeper, and I'm sure I'd hit cars with it.It is as beautiful as it is unique. Mine is dark green with tiny light spots, all uniform (no company logos or writing). Strap does not come of, but is easy to tug inside. Highlights are very visible and allow to clip on lights. This is neither dust nor waterproof (nor does it claim to) due to gaps in corners near lid. But the material itself is waterproof and will keep the worst out. Just don't put a naked laptop in a grocery pannier in a rainstorm.Loaded with 17 lbs of groceries today: one quart of milk in glas bottle, 14 smallish apples in paper tote, 3 16oz cans, 2 cans of sardines, a bag of rice, 7 bananas, 1 red pepper. Could have probably fit a bit more in the gaps. A bit cumbersome to carry when full, but on the bike I only noticed it when letting go of the handlebars at a stop (oops). Rode it home about 4 miles. Even in an all-out standing climb all i noticed was a little extra weight. Did not budge on (mild) dirt track and potholes.Attaches to my trek bike as if made for the rack. The generous clamps (too big for thinner rails?) click easy on the thick Bontager light rack rail, and are just close enough together to push it back far enough to be flush with the rear end of the rack. The strap to secure it at the bottom slides over the rounding of the low rail of the rack at hub level - think about attaching panniers when you buy a rack- a little horizontal bar at one below hub level is good.Will revise if I fall out of love with this. Might get a second one for balance (only an issue at a stop) and additional capacity.
