Real World Performance and Day to Day Use
In real day to day use, the Borgen 3in1 Bike Bag is aimed at riders who want practical storage without being tied to a single carrying style. It can be used as a pannier bag on the bike, then carried as a backpack or with the shoulder strap when walking into work, shops or travel stops.

Why We Like This Product
The YPC Team likes this because it solves the common cycling storage problem of what to do with your bag once you get off the bike.

Tips for Getting the Best Performance
Check that your bike has a common rack before using the bag as a pannier. Roll and close the top properly before riding in wet weather to help protect the contents. Keep heavier items low in the bag when loading it for better balance on the rack. Use the backpack function when walking longer distances after parking the bike, and use the shoulder strap for quick shopping or short carries. Avoid overloading beyond what feels stable and comfortable on your bike.
