Has anyone used this bag for overnight bike trips? Is it large enough?

The interior dimensions of the main compartment are 11"x 5"x 6". The side pockets are each 11"x 5"x 2". I would not consider it to be big enough for an overnight trip by itself. For its size it is an excellent bag, very well made and the mounting system is very solid.

I guess that would depend on what you wanted to take with you. If you just wanted to pack some food and maybe a light jacket, I'd say you'd be ok otherwise you'll probably need some additional storage.

Having done such trips in the past with other side-bags I would say definitely no. Just big enough for maybe a couple bottles of water and some sandwiches etc for lunch.

Probably not big enough to pack enough clothing or gear for overnight. It is just right for bike gear, a bottle of water and a little snacking food or a sandwich or two.

This what I have packed. Jeans tshirt golf shirt socks underwear belt cable lock locker-lock phone wallet breakfast bars trailmix no room for shoes in but can strap on top. Great bag. Use for commute to work. Fell once and stayed on rack. Perfect bag if no shoes are needed.

Yes! I usually carry my cycling shoes and towels in this bag but I tested it with a 10 pound weight and it feels like the material and the seams can handle the weight

No. This sleeping bag is large enough for two people as is. It's also so warm!

Hi,It is quite a large bag, but would probably be a good size for a long trip.

It's depend what you want to do, if you want to walk in it, and fall asleep on the side of the road, then Medium, or if you want to cary bag to the place where you'll be sleeping, then I sujest Large, and for reason that in more loose bag it's easier for sleeping, more room, I'm 5,7 and 250lb and I have XL, and of corse its to long and big around, but I'm not walking in it more than I have to, may be from one place to another just around camp fire, but for hiking in it, bad idea, and one more thing, some of them say waterproof, it's not, l did test my self , last summer I did swim in it for test, and as soon you'll get in water, you'll feel water inside.

Yes the bag is actually fairly big. It also expands a lot. I put a trunk box on also and I can carry all I need for a day.

I ride to work with my lap top all the time. I do zip it in a a foam sleave just in case. These panniers have enough room for me to go on three day bikepacks. If anything they may be a little large for daily commutes but thats much better than too small. I see other people concerned about rain on their lap top. They make zip lock bags the size you need and larger. I use them for my lap top and w hen backpacking, everthing goes in zip locks.

Yes, just cheecked, that's what I have, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's a tight fit, but my biggest issue with this product is that it's not very secure. I have actually taken it off my bike and currently use Panier bags on the back and carry a rickshaw bag... LOVE!

No - this is a large, hefty piece of luggage, not an overnight bag. You'd never want to attach it to another bag unless you're allergic to Kryptonite. There's no shoulder strap on it because once you've put your laptop and 800 other things in there... well, you see why it's on wheels. 8-)

I own this pack. I carry a highly compressible sleeping bag (Lafuma Lightway 45) hammock and fly, clothes, food and stove, as well as the water bag. It all fits fine. When I camp i don't carry everything under the sun though. I use this pack for bike camping as it is a good size for mountain biking. If your sleeping bag does not compress down very much you should skip this pack.

This bag has plenty of space and is ideal for a weekend trip. The only 'issue' i have with this bag, is that it cannot be locked or even locked onto the bike.

i'm a geezer, so my experience may be outdated. i have two racks, one on my touring bike and the other on my grocery/town bike. i did use a rack trunk on one trip, but i didn't like the way stuff shifted around. my sleeping bag fits very well on the front rack ( i secure with cutup inner tubes), freeing up a pannier. on my grocery bike, i tried small panniers once, but didn't need that much room. i use the front rack for things like a gallon of milk or toilet paper (12 pack rides fine). once installed, i have had no problems with either rack.

Yes. it is a big bag. My son puts in cloths, summer sleeping bag, night kit, inflatable pillow, etc for campouts and has no trouble.

The bag has adjustable compression straps, so it's possible to adjust the size of the badly to fit your available storage space. I bought mine to carry on motorcycle trips. When properly rolled and packed with the straps snugged down, mine measures about 8" in diameter and about 12" long. In my opinion, this is a very warm yet compact bag for the price.

No the bag is not big and bulky and it does look good on my bike. It will look good on your bike. I use it for small thing like carry my iPod and small box of lunch to work and it serve the purpose.

i've found it to be very durable ... no signs if strain. I do not, however, carry that kind of weight in my bag. Have you considered saddle bags and a mule? ;-)

This is a 1600 Cu In. bag, overall storage space. However, given this has a 3L bladder, it can take up a decent amount of space in the main compartment. I have no problem fitting food, water, first aid, some clothing, and other supplies for a decent length day hike. However, like another comment stated, unless you are a true minimalist hiker, I wouldnt recommend this for overnight trips.
