Jizus, I just got this bag (but with the extra large side bags), and I love it. I payed like 560 PLN -> 138 US$. I know its very much but there isn't any other bag like this one. I'm trully afraid that my bag will give the same problems like yours.
Thanks for watching Radoslaw. I would like to say that maybe you will have a better experience but I honestly feel like this is one of the poorest quality bags I have ever purchased. When you compare it to good quality bags like Ortlieb etc it comes up short in every way. Very poor quality zippers, weak stitching and the list goes on. If you are going to keep it I would recommend paying close attention to how it's holding up, So you can return it before it's to late. I have since purchased a new Bontrager bag with MIK and while they look similar the Bontrager bag is superior in every way. Here is a link if you want to check it out.

Hey Dean, thanks for the review...appreciate the honesty. I think we've all been there when buying online...the item "looks" good, and with reviews and description, it appears to be a decent bag... I'm sure your authentic review has helped others reconsider whether that bag is for them. As for the MIK mounting system, looks really interesting...and as my kit get's smaller/more efficient, I may be looking into that as a way to secure a more structured bag to my rear rack. Wish I could join you on the BT700...I'm sure you're going to have a great ride, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it went with the subsequent video! Cheers buddy!
Thanks Rienhart. Of course I have been getting my fair share of trolls over on the Facebook groups...but that's what I have come to expect from FB. Most of the haters don't even ride lol. Yes it would be awesome if you could join us on the BT700...next year?!
Another good and honest review. We use a collapsible cooler as a trunk bag. Not necessarily water proof, but we do put items in it that can get wet. Also, gear is not cheap, so review like this are gold! Thanks!
