I have used it several times and the very first thing that I feel it is missing is another pocket or two. It has the front pocket and a side pocket. Inside, there is a laptop pocket, which is perfect. The switch between a backpack too a pannier is very quick and easy. Once the panniers were adjusted to fit on my bike rack, they were so easy to put on and take off. Great product but needs a few more pockets.
