Pros: shoulder strap for when you're off the bike., waterproof cover, spacious, good quality heavy duty zips
Cons: wish there where other colours available.
"Does the job well. Good quality product with plenty of space for all the essentials. Puncture repair kit, lock, wallet, phone and sandwiches all fit in it nicely, and there's still room for a waterproof to deal with the unpredictable weather! Sits nicely behind the saddle which is much more streamlined than panniers, A real bonus over longer distances. The problem with the stitching mentioned on previous reviews seems to have been solved, it has a very well built feel to it. The zips are slightly sticky, but this is simply due to the fact that they are heavy duty, so they won't come apart and let you down mid ride. A tiny amount of grease or chain oil soon solves this problem. The carry handle and shoulder strap are useful extras. A great alternative to riding with a rucksack, which is, quite frankly, rubbish over long distance day rides."

Pros: all the different pockets, rainproof cover
Cons: zips are a little stiff
"Someone put some thought into this one and I'm glad they did.
I commute to work but I like to travel light. So I needed something to fit my bike tools, spare tire, my medium sized lock, phone, keys and some other small bits and bobs. Also, when it gets warm, I need to fit my cycling jacket in there and my thick winter cycling gloves. It all fits, very compact and looks good too."

Pros: all the compartments
Cons: sticking zips, poor design on stitching, needs a secure way of attachments yo fack
"The bag itself looks great. Loads of compartments. But zips stick. stitching on velcro straps started to come undone after three days the buckle began to come away from the bag.this is the straps that holds the bag on to the rack . Very poor design. Buckle held on by only 5 stitches should be a continuous piece of webbing stitched the whole length."

Pros: multiple pockets of different sizes
"I've had this bag for a year and it has performed well. I used it every day for work for 6 months. It fits well and quite easily onto a standard rear pannier frame. Some stiching gave way after a few days but Halford provided a replacement without question and that has been fine. A small hole has appeared in the rear pocket from carrying tools. I guess I should have thought to wrap these in a rag to prevent this. I does seem to carry quite a lot more than the stated 9 litres."

Pros: good capacity and pockets
"The Saturday before Christmas, yet another e-mail from Halfords but I have a quick flick through. 20% off for a pannier rack pack when I already have a side pannier? But was I not thinking that one side pannier made me a bit heavy and unbalanced? Give it a go, ordered on line, went in just a couple of hours later and there it was, even in our country market town branch. Sold! Excellent service and excellent quality which proved its worth on the post Christmas outing with the boys. Thank you Halfords."

Pros: multiple compartments
"I am quite impressed with this 'Rack Pack' bag.
What is not clear (without personal inspection) is that the bag comes with 7 zipped pockets; left hand side, right hand side, front, back, top, bottom, and an internal.
The front, left, and right hand side pockets are not large (in terms of storage capacity) ; they have height and width but no significant depth. I store my basic toolkit in the left pocket, and a spare inner-tube and the bag's shoulder strap in the right-hand pocket - but they take up all the space. The front pocket can just about accommodate a mobile phone and a small bunch of keys.
The back pocket is more useable as in addition to its height and width it also has depth. Sufficient capacity to store my cycle lamps and a little bit more.
The bottom pocket comes with the bag's yellow shower cover already inserted. Like the side pockets the bottom pocket does not have a great deal of depth, and access is hindered by the limited zip opening. I removed the bag's shower cover [which I now store in the bag's back pocket – this gives quicker access to it in the event of a sudden downpour] and now store a small nylon [emergency] bag and additional [emergency] bungee cords in the bottom pocket.
In the top pocket I can store a pair of gloves and a woollen hat. Maybe a little bit more with a bit of pushing.
The internal pocket is of a mesh type My cheque book fits inside it without needing to be folded.
All these little compartments/pockets safely and securely take care of the smaller essentials for cycling, leaving the main compartment free for food, a jacket or waterproofs, and a bike lock.
On the top of the bag is an elasticated cord which would allow additional small items to be stored under it.
Hopefully the above examples give you an indication of the capacity and usefulness of this bag.
The bag fastens to the bike's rack using Velcro straps. Personally I found them fiddly [and time-consuming] to fit. As I have to remove my bag from the bike on a regular basis I now use three bungee cords to secure the bag to my bike rack when only travelling short distances.
The web advert states that the bag's capacity as 9 litres - but can be expanded. The tag [attached to the bag] indicates it has a capacity of 12 Litres. A further discrepancy between the web advert and the tag is that the advert states the bag to be 600D water repellant polyester, whereas the tag states it to be 420D water repellant polyester..
Personally I found this bag a significant improvement upon my previous rack pack. Multiple compartments allow me to safely store my 'small cycling essentials' easily, and the main compartment is big enough to handle my remaining needs for a day trip. The bag comes with a handle (and a shoulder strap attachment) for easy carrying when not attached to the bike. The bag also includes a loop tab for my rear light.
A well-thought out, practical bag."
