HITWAY Bike Bag Waterproof Pannier 29L Large Capacity Bike Rack Bag for Bicycles Rear Rack Seat Trunk Bag

I've been using panniers for some time now. I needed to replace my older ones. I found this on Amazon and thought I'd give it a try. Wow, it works quite well. Very easy to attach to bike rack. The shoulder strap is comfortable. The bag seems sturdy and well crafted. It's not flimsy or cheap (like I expected for this price). I'm going to buy another one so I have two matching bags. Nice product!

Update: So I'm about 8 months in with this item and it broke in two ways. 1) The zipper protecting the pannier hooks from hurting your back snapped off.2) The pannier hooks themselves broke off.Getting a replacement was strange. The manufacturer told me they couldn't give me one and told me to contact Amazon. That's weird because the warranty is supposed to be for 12 months. I was skeptical about the Amazon route because this should be well outside the return window for Amazon but to my surprise they honored the return and I'm getting a full refund.I decided to repurchase this because I still like the design and its the cheapest pannier I see on Amazon that can do all these things. However, I will not be using this as my primary pannier, only as a secondary.----------I've had another pannier for a long time but I always got annoyed that I couldn't wear it like a backpack. I would end up taking a backpack and the pannier on my commutes, defeating the entire purpose.Enter: this thing. It's not the best pannier and it's certainly not the best backpack, but it does both and it is very reasonably priced given all the features it has.An hour ago to give it the ultimate test, I took the pannier to the grocery store and I loaded it to the brim with groceries. Milk, eggs, but also produce like cherry tomatoes as well as some staples. Despite going over several roads that had a ton of potholes on them, the groceries were undamaged. I suspect this has a lot to do with the design of the lock for the pannier. It's incredibly simple to mount on the bike and once they are on they stay tightly in place.The backpack feature is why I bought the thing though and it performs decently. The pannier certainly doesn't have the same amount of compartments as a commuter backpack, but it has a laptop sleeve and a mesh protected zipper area on the inside. That's fine for me, the most I'm bringing to work is a change of clothes, my u-lock, and my laptop. A few people have said the straps aren't well insulated and I disagree. They are very comfortable on my shoulders.If you want a truly amazing backpack/pannier combo, you will need to pay more than 40 dollars. But I am fine with settling for a good bag that gets the job done. This is that.

Edit: it fell off again while I was riding on a smooth bike trail...Idk whats going on but my rating for this bag is definitely going down. ALSO, i wore it as a backpack and it made my lower back pretty sore. New score: 3/5.This is a great bag overall. It's truly water - resistant and honestly very tough/strong. I tested it out with a lot of gear and hanging on my rack as a pannier bag and it did well. Once the road got too bumpy, the bag flew off the rack and was only hanging on by the bottom velcro loop. In order to get this bag to fly off it seems you really have to shake it a good amount. It does very well on smooth pavement. I was surprised it lasted that long without popping off.I'd give it a 4/5 overall with the only -1 coming from that situation. It would be great if I can secure the top with an extra piece of velcro as well to account for those type of situations(bumpy, construction roads full of pot holes). Otherwise the bag is great. Holds strong enough in most average use cases, and can hold a lot of stuff. You forget its even there after a little bit of riding.As a backpack it isnt the most comfortable but it does the job.As a messenger/side bag it's great, very convenient. It's a lot faster to go from pannier to side bag then it is to go from pannier to backpack. I use this bag to bike commute with a train ride in between, so the ability to quickly take the bag off of my bike(in order to hang the bike) is awesome.I live in rainy conditions so we'll see how this bag holds up. I would definitely buy another if it wasnt for the bag being able to come off the rack from too much shaking. I live in a construction heavy area and can't avoid it all the time.This is a brand I wouldn't mind representing and I would for sure recommend others to check out.

These bags are worth way more than the price. I have had some very expensive panniers in the past and these match those in quality and have more features but cost much less. They are made with a waterproof material and therefore don't need extra covers. The material keeps its shape but is not too rigid. The top rolls up and can be latched to keep things safe in the rain or they can be unrolled so that they are extra tall for carrying a french loaf etc. They are the size of an extra tall paper grocery bag. They are very easy to adjust to most any rear rack and attach and lock on very easily. They can be used as a backpack, worn over the shoulder with an included strap or just carried with the handle. The backpack is not meant for carrying long distances but works well for short hauls. These are an extraordinary value and honestly, I would recommend them over any panniers I have used in the past.

Love this little bag. Fits my laptop well for commuting to work. The hooks stay completely attached to the rear rack (so sturdy that if you life the bag while connected it lifts the bike). The waterproof design keeps everything inside dry, and the material is rigid so that the bag doesn't 'morph' too much like flimsier bags you see on rear bike racks. Love the backpack straps that completely tuck away and hide during biking. I think it has a fairly good look that looks nice when I enter the office, too. Definitely recommend to someone bike commuting.

It’s a nice bag/back pack period. It’s sturdy and well built, mines was a nice red colored that I ordered, it fits a ton of stuff I never filled it up. I used it for hiking/exploring, then I used it for door dash. I definitely recommend it. It works.
