Great prdouct - good and fast service

This is such a useful pack and feel way bigger than 26L. Definitely bigger than my Mystery Ranch Coulee 30L pack. The flap can be a little fiddly and must be sinched as tightly as possible so it won't come undone while on the bike but it's otherwise perfect.

Very well designed bag to combine the 2 functions (bag/backpack). Functional: quick and secure installation on the bike. Quality equipment and supply of accessories for adjusting the attachment to the bicycle structure. Satisfactory volume for everyday use but a little tight for running errands - I'm thinking of buying a second one with this in mind. I regret that Varuste does not offer the Ortlieb anti-theft device for this bag.
A plus would have been to have the possibility of compartmentalizing the interior, a bit like camera backpacks.
It remains to be seen how it resists over time. My use is daily, which is also the reason for choosing this renowned brand.

The product itself is super, it's the reason why I purchased it. However, FedEx delivery is crap.

Great bike bag. It is very practical, transforms very easily and quickly into a backpack or bag. It seems very robust. In addition, the blue color is very beautiful. I have been using it for 2 weeks and I am very satisfied with it. I tested it in the rain, it is very waterproof.

The bag has exactly the functions I need. It can be quickly clicked onto the luggage rack and stays in place while driving without any annoying rattling. Once you arrive, you can quickly convert it into a backpack. The backpack sits comfortably on the shoulders. And the side that got dirty while cycling is covered. Great bag so far, hopefully it will last a long time.

Very satisfied with the pannier bag. It is robust and useful with good carrying capacity. Colour choices are also good. And they shipped from Finland to New Zealand!

Received a few weeks ago, the backpack/bag fully met my expectations. It is very comfortable to carry as a backpack, even when it is very heavy. Also very easy to hang as a bag on the bike rack (after making the initial adjustments the first time). Very good purchase, very practical! I highly recommend it (very beautiful petrol blue color)!

After a few times, the installation in my car was very successful, more of a challenge in the garage. It goes well with you and you hardly notice it, even with a few kilos of weight on board. Smart to put in place and remove. Conveniently turns into a backpack and back to be attached to the bike. Very pleased!

The backpack is sturdy on the back and the carrying straps on the back sit comfortably. Although the backpack is bigger than I thought - I'm a 160 cm woman and the backpack is really big on my back, but at least it can fit a work laptop and training gear well. I wish there was a much smaller model of this! However, I think the backpack is stylish and the petrol color is great. I got tired of dragging bike bags to the workplace on bad carrying straps and ended up with this backpack. The reversible flap is not that convenient to use, especially if the backpack is full of stuff, but it does the job. It usually takes less than a minute to adjust the flap to the right position. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, and the backpack is for everyday use.

I find this bag really perfect. I ordered it this time for my brother after using mine for a year daily. No trace of wear.
The bag is very durable. Moreover, the design is well thought out: unlike most backpacks that can be fixed on a bike, the hooks are not under a foam in the back but on the other side of the bag. This makes the bag very comfortable to carry. In summer also because there are sorts of ventilations in the back.
It stands on its own when placed on the ground maintaining its shape, which is convenient to fill it. Its capacity is very suitable for me with three pockets, one of which is very functional.
Despite the bike bindings, it remains very reasonable in terms of weight.
I recommend this bag 100% it is expensive but it is well worth its price. It is a very good investment for frequent use, it will make your life pleasant.

Bought for my wife's daily commute and combine bike/hike day trips. She absolutely loves it! This is hands down the best pannier/backpack combination bag. Period. Ortlieb might seem expensive...they are absolutely worth the money. I bought an Ortlieb office/computer style pannier ten years ago and I still use it daily. All the seams are solid and the pannier connection system is original. I've only had to replace one buckle and that was because I broke it in an accident.

The working mechanisms are good and I believe that according to Ortlieb's quality standards they will also last. I am surprised that the pocket (pocket) that is always on top is not waterproof. It may be that if my need had not been acute, I would have changed the backpack to another model.

exactly what I was expecting after seeing a lot of youtube reviews

This is exactly the kind of product I've been missing. I do a lot of everyday cycling by bike and for a long time I have been looking for a bag that can be used as both a saddle bag and a backpack. I don't want to carry things in a backpack at all. Now, when I go to the store, I can easily lift the bag from the rack onto my back during a shopping trip, the purchases at the checkout directly into the backpack, then the backpack on my back and when I get on the bike, onto the rack. Works!

The product works great both as a backpack and as a bike bag. This is comfortable to carry on your back even when full. The backpack is surprisingly big, a little smaller would be enough. On the other hand, it can easily accommodate e.g. office needs and (indoor) rope climbing or bouldering equipment at the same time.
Turning the "flap" requires a bit of practice at first, but it's getting easier. The pocket found on the same flap is a little disappointing because it is not promised to be waterproof. In addition, the zipper of the flap pocket can only be found on one side ("backpack mode") and because of this, it would be good to have some place to store keys and a phone.
The laptop pocket inside can be removed, but the velcro fastening on the underside is so difficult that I can't do it constantly.

I have been looking for a long time for a hybrid waterproof backpack that can be attached as a bag to the luggage rack but above all that can accommodate a 17-inch laptop. It does not fit in the cover provided for tablets and the like, but it has its place in the bag. I can also easily fit 2 more large binders and my lunch there.

Great so far, the square shape is much better than the original Ortlieb waterproof bags and the backstraps are comfy. The cover is a little awkward to reverse but I reckon I'll get the knack of it in time. Two things that stop it getting five stars: The outer zip pocket isn't waterproof, and the backing on both strap and hook sides make the pack fold in a bit and make it narrow and slightly awkward to fill. Overall though, I'm loving it and recommend.
