Very high quality product. I'll be using these for a Transamerican bicycle ride and wanted Ortlieb's highest capacity model so I wouldn't have to rely on a set of front panniers in addition to these. I felt confident ordering Ortlieb since many other bikepackers use them. The rack clamping system is super adjustable. The only minor thing I can think of improving on is the process for inserting the inserts for narrow-diameter racks. They are extremely difficult to slide in. Thankfully it should only be a one-time process.

Spacious and very easy to attach the bike to the rack. Separate roomy front pocket also very useful. It's good to put things you need sometimes so that you don't have to roll the bag open every time. There could be separate attachment points for the shoulder strap. It now feels very homey and not very functional.

Very spacious side bags. Finally, commuter cyclists can take laptops, a change of clothes, gym clothes, and snacks with them. And you can go to the store properly with Fillar and you can fit your purchases. These have a detachable strap that you could probably take the bag on your shoulder to carry, but the bags are so big that it's not even realistic to carry them yourself. Even if the attachment hooks had adapters for a flat-profile deck. Stays even now, but can bounce a little on bumps.

I had the regular size before, and used them for weekly major grocery shopping. I destroyed them by overpacking. These new bags are much better for the purpose, with so much extra space. Plus I like the outside pocket where I can stow my lock and bike pump.

I get bags as shopping bags for even big purchases on the bike. I'm satisfied. The attachment and detachment mechanism is easy. Work well for the purpose for which I get them. There is no experience with rainfall yet. The only difficulty was when sealing pieces corresponding to the thickness of the luggage rack tube had to be threaded into the bag fastening mechanism. According to the instructions, they were just slid into place and included a "click". In reality, auxiliary pliers and the use of force were needed before they went into place.
