So far I can not recommend this setup, ....but I am glad I spent the money to try it out. I should be able to ride with the pack system on my back (weighs nothing), then put the pannier on it when I get to the museum (end destination).
If you are looking to do some serious Krav Maga, this system will not work for you....Get a pack that sticks to you and forget about the pannier.
