Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Side panel velcro and bag design are so good that the buckles are just added security. Mounting and unmounting take very little time. The shoulder strap lets me have free hands for the subway portion of my commute. I love the way it attaches compared ...  Read More

I have the smaller size and having throughly thrashing that with commuting with heavy loads, this was a pleasant surprise to find it is bigger with an extra key/small item pocket on the inside of both panniers. Tons of internal space plus the two zip ...  Read More

Bag is very waterproof. Works well in a drizzle. The bag is very durable and stands up to the elements and roughhousing.



Cons

The main bag seems sturdy enough but after only 6 months the straps that connect to the bike frayed enough to break. Since the bags are designed to be carried on a shoulder strap, there is a problem with the velcro catching a picking at your riding cl...  Read More

Quality


- material quality is exactly what i expect of timbuk2: i'll ride home in the rain with my laptop and phone in the bag and not ...  Read More


I haven't experienced any problems with the durability of the straps noted in some other reviews.


(this is my main problem with the bag).


Dislike the velco on the bottom to hold the bag to the rack.

Price


It's a little heavy, but that's a price i'm willing to pay for its durability.

Packaging/appearance


Due to the design, i don't accidentally knock off the pannier with my heel.

Competitiveness


I trained with these bags on my bike filled with weights for a couple months, then took them on a 10-day bike track packing tri...  Read More


These carry a solid amount (in my case, business casual outfits, lunch, a u-lock, and occasionally some groceries) while also b...  Read More


If timbuk2 or a competitor reads this, some feature suggestions: 1) make the exterior pockets only extend below the zipper, oth...  Read More


The deciding factors were 30l capacity in two 15l bags, no dark cavernous void, laptop pocket (two actually), slim profile (vs ...  Read More

    Theres 4 straps used to attach them to the bike and doing and undoing them on a regular basis would annoying real quick


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Timbuk2 has made a great product here but has very limited information about the features of these panniers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that the velcro straps on top were to secure the bags to your rear rack rather than to secure something else to the top


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Two additional velcro bands on the frontbottom corner of each side work just okay to secure the bag from flipping outwards away from the rack when there is lots of weight in the bottom of the side


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are several very conveniently placed and wellsized pockets on the bags but im finding myself moving more stuff out of the one on the top flap things slide around when you have the bag open and then it doesnt close quite right once you move the flap back down to the closed position


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I dont often ride in heavy rain but i cant foresee water getting through the bag


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The balance is a little awkward so it can be tricky to load and difficult to access when youre carrying it around


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Longer distances will probably get a bit uncomfortable
