'A great bike bag!'

Strengths:
Plenty of room for a whole day's gear.
Waterproof cover, bungees big enough for a helmet, key clip and small pockets for easy accessability of tools, phone, etc.
Well padded and plenty of room for a bladder.

Weaknesses:
Quite big. I have to have all the straps at their smallest and it's fairly long on my back (I'm 5'7")

Overall:
Definitely recommended for all day rides.

'Superb sac, superb value, but cut out some of that padding!!'

Strengths:
Great features, such as LED holder, rain cover, tool dividers etc etc

Weaknesses:
Too large and far too much padding. Why not KIMM-sac style zipped hip pockets???

Overall:
The best - but not yet perfect. Karrimor should look at their own products (KIMM sac) for further inspiration.

'OK BUT MAKE SURE IT FULFILS YOUR NEEDS'

Strengths:
Well made, lots of pockets, useful rain cover, very secure

Weaknesses:
Not comfy! Straps were too close at the top and quite rough, chafing my neck after 1 hour of use.
The wind channelling didn't do much.
Top of bag was too high up, fouling on my helemt when I wanted to get aero. Plus a plastic clip kept tapping annoyingly on my helmet ALL THE TIME.
Don't bother using it for a commute as it is too narrow to put clothing without rolling it up, hardly ideal for office types.
Couldn't get a pair of shoes in on top of clothing, should you need to, if like me you have big hooves.

Overall:
Fine for off road day rides and carrying shapeless stuff, but no good for anything wider than about 250mm.
Returned it after a week.

'BETTER THAN KARRIMOR'S BIKE-SPECIFIC RANGE'

Strengths:
Light and versatile. Narrow. Good elesticated webbing pockets at the sides (beats those hard to access zippered pockets). Hydration pack easy access. Bright waterproof cover that zips away.

Weaknesses:
Ummmm.....

Overall:
This is one of those purchases that reveals more of itself as you use it ("oohh, that's what that strap's for...").
Haven't had a problem with it yet.

'GOOD DAY SACK '

Strengths:
Less sweat
loads of feautures
Fits well (I'm 5 foot 9 max)
waterproof cover
did I say loads of feautures

Weaknesses:
The air flow is slightly less effective with a bladder in place and if you dont dry the bladder pre fitting it will give you a wet back
no good for commuting as it screws things up

Overall:
You cna MTB on the cheap or do it properly. My Karrimor windproof gillet and this show that. It carrys everything I need for my sherpa antics when I go on a group ride with inexperianced cyclists who dont have the right gear. I woudl recomedn this to anyone except those wanting to commute with it, look at a courier bag for that or those wanting to carry lots of camping gear althoguh I have fitted a chap (£30 argos type tent) in.

'EXCELLENT CYCLING-SPECIFIC BACKPACKK'

Strengths:
Good design, well made with lots of useful features. Stable when secured with waist and chest straps.

Weaknesses:
Could do with strap-securing clips on the adjustable shoulder straps to prevent them from flapping around. I managed to sort this out with a cople of strategically placed rubber bands but is us a pity this wasn't considered in the design.

Overall:
I used one of these on a recent LEJOG trip and was reallyy impressed with luggage capacity, comfort level and useful features (such as the helmet securing section and mesh pockets at side). I didn't use the bladder section so can't comment on how well it works. Highly recommended
