 It broke after a few weeksApr 30, 2006
By Cliff Heegel
Buyer Beware!!! I bought this to use for bike commuting and shopping because it is waterproof and cheap. Unfortunately, the pannier hooks that fit onto the rack are made of breakable plastic, which, duh! ...breaks. One broke today after 6-8 weeks of use. Can't repair it. Maybe my cat will play with it-- can't think of anything else to do with an un-mountable pannier.
I'll spend more next time for a higher quality waterproof pannier like an Arkel or Ortleib.

 Good value; great customer service from DeltaFeb 06, 2008
By Gary Young
I bought this pannier about 6 months ago and used it mostly as a backpack for the first few months. The only problem I encountered was in the way the pannier attaches to Delta's backpack adapter. It attaches at the bottom with two snaps. That's fine if you're carrying a light load, but with a heavy load, the snaps would sometimes come undone as I was riding. I will probably rig up a more secure attachment system.
The first time I used the pannier as a pannier, one of the hooks that attaches it to the rack broke. I called Delta and they sent me a new pannier with a redesigned hook that seems much more robust (the new hooks have a triangular base plate).
Why a 4 out of 5? Great customer service; seems well-made and durable (with the new hook); great price. However, you might want to think twice if you intend to use it primarily as a backpack.

 Plastic parts are the weak pointJan 04, 2010
By Alex
"average joe"
I commute to work every day and I prefer to carry stuff on the bike than on my person. I have a nice shopping bag type pannier and I wanted something that was waterproof to replace it. This looked like the perfect replacement. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Less than a week after I got this the plastic clips that hold it to the rack broke. I wasn't carrying a large load either. I had carried substantially more in my other pannier with no problems. That pannier had metal parts instead of plastic. So unless you travel light, I would not recommend this pannier.

The item shipped is not what is picturedMar 23, 2006
By Patrick Fiorentino
What is in the picture has a quick release. What they is is a bolt on. Then further they will not take a return or exchange for the proper pictured item. DO not buy this based on the picture also note this is a vendor that has not lived up to their responsibility.

So far so goodMay 10, 2010
By Elmonica
This was the first pannier I had purchased and was disappointed because I thought it was over-kill that there was a lot of material to roll down before I could secure it with the velcro strap. I also thought it was over-kill that you cover up that rolled portion with the top piece (shown in the photo). This is why they will call it "double protection". After months of sitting in my closet I was getting ready to sell it on Ebay when I decided to cut the top cover off with a pair of scissors. While it may not be as waterproof as before, it still hasn't leaked in the times I have road with it in the rain. I just find it much more convenient this way and I use it more often now. I am glad I purchased it.
While I don't have an opinion yet on the long-term durability of the plastic hooks, I like the way they secure to the rack. They completely encircle the metal bars so the pannier won't bounce off.
