Anybody use the Two Wheel Gear commuter bag?
Hi Folks,
I was wondering if anyone out there has tried the commuter bag from https://www.twowheelgear.com/. It looks pretty perfect to me, but I was wondering if anyone can provide a testimonial. Specifically, I'm looking for the perfect commuter bag solution: something I can carry my clothes, lunch, toiletries, and laptop to the office in. I have a traditional pannier right now (https://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1158340150556) but I have to roll my clothes, I'm worried about putting my laptop in it, and it's a pain to carry from my bike inside the office.
Anyone's $0.02 would be appreciated.

I have one of the old Performance suit bag panniers, and I loved it. I'd be using it now if I cold stuff my laptop into it. If the TWG pag has enough room for your laptop, then make sure you can get enough heel clearance and give it a whirl. And then post your results.

I'm curious about "water resistant". If I'm going to put nice clothes,or especially a laptop,in this thing,they better stay dry.

I think in a torrential downpour, I'd use a drycleaning bag for my clothes and something similar for my laptop.
