are the bags fixed to the strap or are they detachable? If it's detachable, let me know if the zipper is durable and how durable the strap is! Thanks

Not detachable. They are fixed to two straps that are tied by a leather lace for adjusting. Still holding up though, been on for about 8 months.

The straps are binded together with leather laces but cannot be detached without total removal from the bike.

no they are fixed to the bags you would have to cut the seems and sew zipper in.

We have not had a problem with the straps. We used our bag in November when we went to Belize and it worked great. We are very satisfied with it. Thank you.

There is actually a bungee cord that runs from each side of the bag to hold it down. Unfortunately, my bungee snapped off a long time ago. The bug currently flaps a bit when I turn (not as much in the wind), but I have not found this disruptive. I still use the bag several times per week.

Mine has been fine other than the headphone port fell off but is pretty easily sewn back on. No issues with straps or zippers.

Mine is detachable and adjustable (bought it about 4-5 months ago), also has handles for carrying.

Yes, it is durable. Have had it for about 4 years. But I have to say I had to replace the strap after about a year. I have washed it many times and it is still the same. Good item.

My bag is replaceable, but I don't know where to get the replacements. If you find out where, please let me know. Good luck.

This is a very light bag. My only concern is in fact the stitching as a tear did for at the top of the bag by the straps. It was a non-essential stitching in terms of weight bearing and structure, but it is not cosmetically pleasing... this tear occurred 2-3 months of everyday, heavy use. The stitches kept the straps connected from the outside, otherwise the straps are still functional. I believe the tear occurred from filling the bag up to capacity with laptop and books, etc.. hope this helps.

The one I received has detachable backpack straps. I have been using this bag constantly for 8 months and I love it!

I bought this bag as a gift. So, I do not know if the waist straps are removable. You might call REI and ask. They sell this brand but I don't know if they have this particular model. Good luck.

I have not heard of this. The bag part is not removable. I do not see a way of replacing the mesh either. You would have to buy new ones if they get damaged. I used mine quite a bit and they never tore or ripped. Just make sure you wash them really good.

The bottom is attached, it can't come off. The top is also attached but opens with zippers..

The bag I ordered had detachable straps. I ended up returning this bag and getting the be right back backpack. I love it.

Jennifer, I checked my bag and the zipper does not separate from itself at the terminal end. So I believe it cannot be zipped to another bag.

I have only had this bag 5 months, it is completely coming apart. I'm not sure about the length of the strap. Do yourself a favor spend a little more and get a bag that lasts!
