Sadly they don't sell these anymore at Ikea but it was the best $4 i ever spent and always carried along in my tail-bag.. if you can find one similar definitely worth it instead of wearing a backpack:

I’m happy with them so far and can have a real critique coming in a week since I’m about to be riding full time for a week with them.
I got them here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B089Z...b_b_asin_title

Only three buckles had to be clicked open to take them into a hotel that I stayed in tonight. Really easy to put on and off the bike. Didn’t take much longer than popping the Givi top box off.

I am hopeful that I found a trail for tomorrow morning. And I was finally able to reserve at least a campground. One thing that was great about these is they came right off the bike and it was almost like I had suitcases. Very simple. 3 fastex type buckles to click open and just lifted right off. There are a lot of straps to adjust in the beginning, the first time, but they are going to stay in the same position when I put it back on the bike I think. So there won’t be any readjustment. Just reconnecting the three straps it took to remove them.

Bit of a cross-post, but my 3rd hand Zong came with a hard top box (also 3rd hand, by the looks of it). Its water proofing and padding is long gone, it has a few holes drilled in it, even its lock is gone (replaced by a latch and padlock) but hey, it hasn't fallen off yet
It's also quite spacious (it can fit a full-face + a modular helmet inside). I keep a tight-fitting cardboard box inside which I use when getting groceries, so I know how much I can carry. |

Agreed. If I was only getting one, if get the top box. I got both. You can see it sitting on the top of my panniers in the pic on the left I posted. The top box is way more convenient. Panniers are more for carrying huge and heavy amounts of stuff. But running around town? Not carrying too much stuff or too heavy of stuff? Still want to fit in narrow trails? Top box all the way.

I bought the same bag a few weeks ago. Seems to be well made for the money. And it attached easily to the rack on my Brozz. It does hold a full face shield helmet no issues. I'm happy with it. John |

I got this tailbag, LINK
It's honestly too small for my needs, by the time I put a pair of gloves in there its almost packed. It doesn't have any inside compartments for things like registration and insurance cards. It does have a pocket on the back though. I would have to give this a 5 out of 10, it's nice but just not very practical, for me anyway. After watching Megadan's new video, it looks like that is the bag I am looking for. I was just wondering how everyone that has this bag seems to like it? Also wondering if the shoulder straps come off? It appears so in the image but I have had to gamble with products on Amazon a few times and ended up returning things. My dad is getting my current tailbag for his Hawk so I that makes me feel better about my purchase.
