This is a roomy pannier, but has some annoying quirks. It is very easy to install, simple straps and bungee-cords.
Annoyances with this product:
1) Sides hang very low, and I bang my heel on them frequently
2) Zippers have a mesh covering that hangs a little too low, makes me fish for the zipper
3) There is NO support for any of the pockets (big or small). A bottle of water deforms the fabric in the side pockets, pulling it down, compressing the sides
4) Big top pocket has no support, other than the rack it rests on. Leads to compact and heavy items rolling to the left/right, off the rack support, into the unsupported section, crushing down on the side pockets. Makes side pockets hard to open, and tightens the top pockets over everything else you've got in there...
5) You CANNOT do one-hand opening of any of the zippers. The lack of rigidity in the bag requires two hands
6) Big top pocket can't be used to rest anything on. No support other than your rack makes it hard to stop riding and sit your helmet, water bottle or grocery bag on top without it tipping over
7) The picture is misleading - they must have filled each compartment with perfectly-fit Styrofoam. All compartments hang limp or flat
Positives:
1) Price makes the above problems easier to take. At REI, a pannier that fixes the above annoyances is much, much more expensive
2) Easy to install
3) Nylon is tough - I've carried sharp things in it, never had a problem
Overall - If you don't expect a crush-proof, semi-rigid bag, and don't carry oddly-shaped or heavy items, you'll be fine. Otherwise, pay a little more for a more rigid, easier-to-use product.
