Cops all the abuse, easy to see inside with light coloured lining, dedicated D-lock strap, back plastic layer stops items stabbing me in the back and easy flap opening. Lifetime warranty and its Australian!

I’m a big guy though, which might make a difference, and i’m only carrying small items and a raincoat, my work clothes stay at work.

I can also highly recommend fibre flares for dark commuting, a great way to be seen.. I’ve got 4 attached around me and the bike.

backpacks make for an uncomfortable ride
you don’t even notice if you have a load on a rack
panniers are great for more stuff
ortleib make excellent panniers and tubus excellent racks

Don’t. Get small rack and a top box and save your back.
