I love the Urban Proof Recycled Pannier 20L. It is the perfect volume for small grocery shops, and for carrying clothes and lunch to work. I find I can fit a lot in it, but you need to be careful not to overfill since the only closure is for the top of the bag to fold over. I feel good about the pannier being made of recycled plastic. It is waterproof enough to ride to work on a drizzly day. I have not tested in a downpour since I am a fair weather cyclist! I like that it also has a zip pocket on the front which can securely carry phone/wallet/keys. The fact that I can just lift the bag from the bike and take it into the grocery store is a winner! I can put my groceries directly into the bag while shopping and it is pretty stylish to wear over my shoulder. The hooks on the back for securing the bag to the bike carrier have a zip cover which is nice when you are in the store because the hooks can't get caught on things. I was confused about what happens to the hook cover when the bag is on the bike. There is no fold away pocket to store the cover, so the zip cover literally rests on top of my rear mud guard. I was worried about the cover getting caught in the wheel, but it doesn't at all. The only real complaint I have is that sometimes if I go over a large bump, the bag unhooks on one end from my carrier, even if I have the velcro tab between the hooks secured to the carrier. It doesn't seem to matter if the bag is empty or full, this still happens. In saying that, I have never lost the bag off the back of the bike. There are so many panniers on the market, and I am glad I chose this as my first. I am not a hard core cyclist, I only commute to the shops and to work. I wanted a bag that was easy to remove from the carrier and use like a normal shopping bag. I believe the Urban Proof Recycled Pannier fits the bill. You won't be disappointed.
