Transit and Jannd Rack Bag questions

Hello all,
I'm looking for a new rack bag to replace an old Trek bag I have that doesn't hold its shape anymore. I did a search and it seems that a fair number of BF people are using the Transit Epic DX bag from Performance. I really prefer the four point Velcro attachment system rather than having two Velcro attachments

My questions are...How is it holding up? Does it retain its shape (are the sides rigid enough?)

I'm also considering the Jannd Rack Pack which is a little smaller and has less pockets. I know that Jannd is quality stuff, but the Transit bag seemed pretty well constructed.

Thank you.

Never used the transit so I can't comment but I do have two different Jandd rack bags and they are excellent. I have been using the same one since 1994 but my wife recently bought me a new one because the old one is getting faded. The old one still functions just fine.

Thank you Trailmix. Twenty years old and still working is a good review.
