I have a set of these, they are good enough for the money. Say price break down £50 for saddle bags, 25 of tank and tail bag and the warmers are fee or change prices to what you think.
Overall the fabric is good and they came with an array of bungees and straps. 30 day money back promise, so seemed ok to me. Plus all bags are expandable and i can use one or other as it suits me.
Only problem i thought was clips and straps to covert to rack sack etc are plastic and not metal but ive seen more expensive bags with plastic clips too. Dont know why they just dont use metal? Should not be a problem when using on the bike, but carrying heavy loads in rack sack or shoulder bag form may cause a problem latter. It doe not bother me as i use the carry handles instead.
But for this small gripe they still seem good value and at the end the day the the bags are £100 or so all in and not £200 and one bag can cost £80+ stand alone.
Saddle bags could be bigger 48L or so same as oxford ones, Tank bag has some nice touches has head stock strap, removable magnets and can be used with bungees if you have a non metal tank, but a gps holder would of been nice than hand warmers or gps integrated to the tank bag, ill prob just get a givi converter and use car gps, Tail bag is good quality but not too complex fabric is the same on all bags quite thick and seems waterproof. But again £100 ish kit not a £250 one.
Overall i cant say they are good or bad sure they could be better in terms of size, or other bits but then again they could cost 2 x as much,
im happy with mine, but those with really specific requirements it may not suit. Gps holder i can get for £40 and im still doing well out the deal. The muffs i dont use. But hard to turn down free muff. |
