It really works

Used on the Camino De Santiago, for 3 days. Perfect hold

Very robust but heavy harness

Hello, I have purchased the harness, it is good, it looks very robust, maybe too robust, but I am thinking of returning it, let me explain... The harness is too heavy for the use of light bikepacking that I want to practice, that is, I think that It is not ideal for short, quick outings. Compared to another harness, which is somewhat more expensive, which must also be said, weighs 180 grams more. Ideally, Riverside should manufacture a line of lighter products and bicycles for those who want to travel shorter distances or in a faster way. I also say this for the touring series bikes, they are very robust. I recommend the harness for bikepaking cyclists who prioritize robustness over weight.

Excellent, not seen better in terms of quality/price!

This product definitely deserves 5 stars! I have used it several times for bike packing over several days (around 450km per trip) and the system is super practical: easy to put on, easy to take off. The bag does not move behind which is very appreciable when going uphill. Perfect ! I haven't seen better quality/price!

Practical

The bag attaches easily. What's great is that the base can stay on the saddle, and the whole thing doesn't move too much while riding.

Nickel

I don't often give reviews on the internet, but this one deserves 5 stars, after 420 km and 4 nights, I can say that this system is great, super well thought out, it doesn't wander at all, it's great practical for going to the hotel, the bag that goes with it is great too! I had to open it and close it a good 20 times, each time without any problems! A big congratulations to those who designed this product 👏

Easy to attach. THE…

Easy to attach. The system holds up well over time.

Very good

Interesting and innovative system for me. It seems convenient to use and to remove the bag to take away without dismantling the support every time.

Only for round seat posts

I ordered the bag holder and discovered that it is only designed for round seat posts. D-shaped seat posts that are flat on the back don't fit... a note in the item description would have been nice. Otherwise, the bag makes a good impression.

Top !

Fulfills its function perfectly. Coupled with the brand's waterproof bag, the whole thing doesn't move, and allows you to transport a lot of equipment for bike packing. The only downside is that access is not quick, but it is the trade-off to have a waterproof bag and everything is stable. All this for a much more affordable price than many “recognized” brands offering equivalent products.

Very practical but low quality

The screws that hold the structure do not hold

Well designed, but a point of fragility

Excellent overview of bikepacking needs. Harness that stays in place, waterproof bag easy to remove and insert, resistant metal "legs" which allow the harness to be tightened securely, etc. Only one negative point, but it forces me to throw this harness in the trash: the plastic plate underneath split during the second season. The harness is only held with the two side braids. I had to pierce the plastic to make a makeshift reinforcement with two rilsans. Without being certain, I would say that the cause is the "break" at the bottom of the harness, which does not really allow the bag to be put on all the way. Too bad, the design is great for a low price.

Cannot speak highly enough of this setup. After some initial quirks trying to get the latches in the right spot (recommend putting up a video or something, the instructions could do with a bit more work) I was pleasantly surprised with how well this carrier performed. Had minimal swaying at all, and barely noticed it when riding. The only time I really knew it was there was when mounting & dismounting my bike.

Super saddle bag

I compared the saddle bag directly with others. This one wobbles much less and is very securely attached. It also fits more in compared to other bags of the same size. Very good.
