I own a medium ShopSack. As Jim. S. says, it's very useful when not in the basket. I use mine to commute. It holds a small tool bag, a change of clothes, and personal items, with plenty of room to spare. Off the bike, the handles are the perfect length for either carrying it at your side or ove

Davey, I've got both, (and a Scout 11 for that matter.) I like them all. I think the winner is the ShopSack. It's simpler. When I'm on a tour, I just throw stuff in. With lots of little pockets, I can't remember where I put what. With only one choice, I know it's all there. Also, the ShopSack

I own a Swift Sugarloaf and I love it! The best words that I would use to describe it are practical and useful. I use it primarily with my Sam in a Wald 137. It is designed to work hand in glove with this set up. I love it for its ability to hold my stuff and it's quick dismount when I want to c

Here's Cass Gilbert's review of the Sugarloaf: http://www.bikepacking.com/gear/swift-sugarloaf-review/ I use Medium ShopSack for commuting; it works great. My only complaint is occasional water entry during heavy rains. (Solved that with a few plastic bags that're always in my bag to keep the co

I have and love a waxed canvas Sugarloaf bag. It makes me sad that they no longer offer the waxed canvas option. It's an expensive little bag, but has a lot of good organization pockets on the inside - there's a lot more work that goes into making it than goes into a simple sack-type bag. It has
