   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.

   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!

   I have this pannier as well as the Green Guru Free Ryder 22L (ASIN: B00SA2ZU0U) and love them both. They have been durable, rain or shine, and each has it’s purpose. The Dutchy is great for throwing stuff in, and is best for possible rainy weather with the flap. The Free Ryder is perfect to just put a bag, grocery or otherwise, or even a backpack, directly into and you are good to go. I was concerned that the bag might pop out on larger bumps, but so far, all has been great. I have a non-trivial bike commute to work, but the panniers have made the ride a pleasure without having a backpack on my back. Now I can just put the backpack in the Free Ryder and off I go! My better half often takes the other pannier while bike commuting too. We might be getting yet another in our future. The upcycling and colors are fantastic, and are quite the conversation starter with others. I happen to know that the billboard material on ours happens to be from an old “SNIGRAB” billboard, which was a huge event in days gone by around Denver, CO. So glad some people are thinking of ways to use this stuff!

   I love that this is sturdy but not huge. It is not as high as a large grocery bag but is easy to put on and take off and does not interfere with pedaling. I used it today for the first time and found it much more pleasant to use than my previous grocery carrier. Oh and the design is fun: I got safety yellow on the top flap and white for the rest. I like the inner pocket for smaller (flat) items and the cutting-board bottom is brilliant. Great attention to detail, like little tabs for clipping on lights or reflectors.

   Simple to use, carries what I need around, isn’t prohibitively expensive, and looks great!

   I have other panniers, but prefer this one. It holds a lot, fits securely on my rack, and is just cool!
