Excellent product

Product very much as described, easy to put in place and grab. I haven't used it in the rain yet, but I believe from previous Ortlieb products that it won't be a problem.
I grabbed one star for the price, although quality always costs.
Special thanks for the super fast delivery!

A bit tiring if you have to open it often, but in general a really good way to store things on a bike.
Before ordering, I didn't get a clear picture of whether the required QL3.1 adapter would come with the bag, but it did. If you're reading this because you're in the same mess, now you know. It wasn't too difficult to install either.

The 3.1 system works really well at keeping everything sturdy and being easy to pop on and off. First Ortlieb bag and I'm not blown away for the price (although this site had the best price) which is why I knocked a star off.

After about a year of use, satisfied, with small buttons. Durable materials, stays in neat condition. Holds a surprisingly large amount of stuff. The interior is simple, the separate inner pocket part is a hanging bag that easily swings against hard plastics, for example, when carrying a laptop. The small toilet pocket in the inner pocket is functional. The shoulder strap starts from the edges of the mouth roll, so it's baggy on the shoulder and difficult to reach inside. But it stays pretty well on the shoulder and the locking parts (ql3.1) have not caught on the clothes. The bike attachment is easy and fast, it feels like a piece of paper at first, but it has lasted admirably and is a pleasure to use. Smooth customer service too, a screw dropped and I quickly got a couple to replace it.

The fastening system is handy when there is light stuff in the bag, such as a laptop and change of clothes. There are good adjustment possibilities, the fastening system can also be installed a little lower than the level of the Taraka, so a cardboard box retrieved from the post office can still be placed on top of the Taraka.
Cheap model, i.e. there are no small side pockets here, i.e. no face masks or anything else is readily available in the yard of the shop.
More than three pounds of stuff, the mechanism bends a bit and the attachment / release is no longer so handy. I have that because near the hub of the wheel you know what screw carries the other protrusion, and the mechanism of the bag catches it with more weight at those ends of the screw. Then you have to help with the other hand. There may be more support material in some smarter butt, so this problem is sure not to happen.
Otherwise there would be four stars, but the bolts for the mounting accessories were cents too short. In the case of hexagon head bolts, the cross-head bolts found in the kilo bolts of supermarkets, for example, cannot be replaced, because their base does not fit into the recess. That is, you would need a bike ride to a specialty store.

Compared to similar QL2.1-attached bags I owned in the past, the new attachment mechanism is much better. Of course, it requires suitable attachment points for the magazine, but after that the attachment does not need to be adjusted in any way and the bags fit firmly in the magazine. Otherwise, the bags are similar to the old ones and really good for my use. On the plus side, the new bags also have a separate carrying strap in addition to the shoulder strap.
