I bought the slightly smaller "Pika" and am very very happy with it !
Joe b. mentioned many of my reasons too. My biggest reason is no, zero, nada saddlebad "sway" ! I ride in and out of the saddle, and I do not like the "sway" effect at all. These bags are easily compressed with the straps making them a part of the bike. There are 4 tie downs on top also that I use for quick reach items like a vest, or shirt . No, these are not "kitchen sink" bags .... light and lean is their intent. They are brilliant for what they are* intended* for. If I wanted to carry more, I'd use a rack and other bags, something that does not shift around. The cost ? I could say the same thing about canvas bags ! Like those, these are not "ordinary" saddlebags. The nylon used is heavy duty and top notch,and very very well thought out, unlike your common saddlebag. And like many such items ... they are not made in bulk and the company very small. I don't know if the person who stared this company makes them still himself, or he has helpers. -cheers :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
