The idea of the removable strip to attach the bag to the rack is fine and in fact, the bag carries better over his shoulder, when you remove the aluminum rail. In addition, the possibility is so the bag at different angles to mount the rack. Unfortunately, results from the removability problem that a mounting at the bottom of the bag is not available. The bag thus slackens with cobblestones or depending on the load in curves around a bit. Especially, if the bag is heavy this can sometimes lead to a slight jerk to the side. Without Rain Cover the bag is not water proof, in fact, through the zipper penetrates water. Through a mesh insert directly on the zipper also like to particularly hooked this in closing, if you have something tucked into this little bag, which then depends on the zipper. Here design has not been thinking about the use. If you pack light and the wheel sometimes stops the bag OK, otherwise I prefer but my Ortlieb bags before.
