I've now had several and haven't been happy yet:
  • Banjo Brothers - a bit too small and closes weirdly (although is waterproof). Can not fit laptop.
  • Bikase Outlier - good size (with laptop compartment) and comfortable, but the pannier hooks are unreliable and have had the bag fall off. I would really like this one except for that. (I do like the customer service here and they are supposedly reworking how the bag attaches.
  • Evo backpack pannier - weirdly shaped (although almost big enough) and a bit to flimsy, but actually works better than I expected. Can't fit laptop.
  • Knog Dutch Dog backpack pannier - Won't easily fit on my rack. Big but not well organized insides.
I looked seriously at the Banjo Brothers too but opted for the Po Campo. Looks like that was a good choice. It’s not perfect, but for now it is the best I’ve found.

I had trouble getting pictures to work on this post, but if anyone wants to look, I posted the same review with pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1399...56271588377560.
