I'm a grown woman, but this backpack is still awesome.
I use it as a biking pack. The straps are nicely padded, and the placement is such that they do not cut into your shoulders, even with a heavier load.
It's also completely waterproof. I got trapped in a surprise torrential downpour and my books remained safe and dry. It's accompanied me on quite a few adventures and still remains in tip-top condition.
Not to mention, its adorable level is over 9,000

I searched long and hard for a pannier that converts to a backpack for use off the bike. This is the best such item that I've found. When closed, the bag is totally waterproof which gives me peace of mind when cycling in inclement weather. The rack interfacing is really easy to use seems very durable. And possibly my favorite thing about this bag is that when you're wearing it on your back, it's actually quite comfortable. I find it even more comfortable than most regular day/school backpacks (this is mostly due to the rigid back panel of the backpack). Converting from pannier to backpack is super quick and easy. But there are a couple things I'd like to see improved. Going from backpack to pannier is just a little annoying because you have to stuff the harness/shoulder straps into a tight/stretchy, long, zippered pocket on the outside of the pack. Also, I think it'd be nice if the side pockets were a little bigger and maybe add a flap to ensure things don't bump out.

Overall, I'm very happy with this bag. I'm a student and have to carry heavy books and sometimes my laptop to school over a 10 mile RT ride. This bag makes that ride a lot more comfortable and when I arrive at school I can still carry my stuff around comfortably on my back (unlike a messenger bag which is both uncomfortable to ride and walk with).
If you're like me and commute frequently on bike but also have a bit of walking to do once you arrive at your destination, I don't think you'll a better product for the task. Fine German Engineering!

I'm absolutely in love with this backpack. It's got a lot of character to it and is reminiscent of a military style knapsack because it's made from a rough canvas material. The color is more of a wash and definitely has a masculine quality to it. The bag is very well-made and sturdy. It has several different pockets of varying sizes and can be used as either a backpack or as a duffle bag. It's on the smaller side and would be perfect for hiking or for use a a gym bag or small carry-on bag.

I don't usually post reviews. This might be my second review ever, in fact. My experience with Two Wheel Gear was so exceptional that I felt like I had to shout it from the rooftops. The product had high reviews and is one of the few convertible backpack/panniers on the market that looked like it would function well as both a backpack and as a pannier. Having used the product for a couple of weeks now, I'm still really pleased. The backpack is well made, comfortable as a backpack, large enough and with enough pockets to keep me organized, fastens securely to my bike rack, and transitions between pannier and backpack easily. I anticipate using it for a very long time.

As for working with the company, they were personable and went wayyyy above and beyond to help me out and get me the right product. It was a real pleasure buying from a company that is so customer-focused. I would recommend Two Wheel Gear without hesitation to anyone.

I love my KAKA travel backpack! Just came back from a 3 week trip and it held fantastic. I was able to fit 3 pairs of jeans, a jacket, 10 shirts, socks and underwear. It was very comfortable on my back with the addition of the straps along the waist and chest. There are many pockets and what i liked most is that the pockets were deep. i felt safe carrying around documents with me. zippers are very durable and seem of great quality as i had zero troubles with them. I cant wait to go on another trip and use my backpack!

My wife and I were looking for a bag that could work for weekend getaways on our carbon fiber road bikes. This product looked great so we ordered it...and it is very impressive. For fun I filled it with a pair of shoes, 3 pairs of cargo shorts, 2 t-shirts, plus my tool seat bag...and I could still fit in my toothbrush etc.  While riding, I can't notice it hanging off my seat. My wife mentioned that it does sway a bit but I sure love not having to carry a backpack. I loved this so much we just ordered her the Pika for her bike.  (IT is a tad smaller between the seat and the rear tire) We are now set for our trip through the San Juan Islands in a couple weeks.

The bags are built very well....and look like they will last for years and years of adventures.

I love this backpack. The colors are exactly as pictured, and the part that goes on your back is dark grey so your clothes don't rub off on it. The back is also padded with thick foam-like material so it is very comfortable to wear. There are side pockets that can fit a large water bottle or various other items, as well as smaller sectioned pockets in the front zipper. The laptop sleeve fits my 13 laptop and I can also fit a large textbook and several notebooks and folders. This backpack is everything it is advertised to be and great quality. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

This backpack is great.  It is well made and the materials used are top-notch.  The straps, buckles, and zippers all seem to be made to last.  I was very impressed by the heavy-duty zippers that were used.  The addition of the molle webbing is great and I've made great use of it already.  I'm currently using it is a laptop/everyday backpack (oh and by the way, the laptop divider is also very well made) but I'll be using it for hiking, traveling, and any other situation when I think it will come in handy.  I was down to the Seibertron and a couple of other backpacks that looked similar but were less expensive and I opted to go for the Seibertron.  I'm glad I did because this backpack is amazing and I have a feeling I'll be using it for years to come.

Shipping was fast, packaging was great.

I bought this backpack for a roadtrip with some friends. Since it's a roadtrip I couldn't take a suitcase with me so I decided to buy a traveling backpack instead. I knew that SwissGear is a good brand for backpacks and after looking through Amazon I decided to buy this one.
When I received this backpack I knew that this is a high quality product after unpacking it. The material is very durable and the zippers are huge and strong. I was amazed by how much stuff this backpack can pack! I fitted in about 12 shirts and underwear, 1 sweater, 1 jacket, 1 pair of pants, 5 pairs of socks, 1 laptop, and some small stuff such as shaver, toothbrush, chargers, camera, etc. It is just like a small suitcase!
Right now I'm also using this for my college, I usually need to carry a lot of books and a laptop. The back of the backpack has a thick "cushion" and my shoulders and back don't feel sore at all.
I warmly recommend this backpack!

Very high quality backpack and well worth the price. Very spacious. The color is great and I love it.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it's hard for me to ride my bicycle with it, which is what I wanted to use this pack for. I was so scared the first time I rode with it because I have to go through one or two busy intersections. When I bend forward, I can't look forward without my helmet hitting the yoga mat unless I tilt my head at a weird angle. I must have had my helmet on too loose at first, because the yoga mat pushed the helmet over my eyes (I adjusted it). A few times while biking the pack rotated off my back and to the left side. I had to stop because I almost lost my balance. I will still try to bike with this pack, but if I keep having difficulties I'll have to ride upright with it...

Otherwise, I really like it!

I knew I wanted a backpack that was professional/structured for my commute. This bag completely fits the bill. It is so neat; I've had many compliments. The padding on the back makes it very comfortable and there are a number of zipped compartments that provide the user with lots of options for stowing items. I can't speak highly enough about this product and it is especially good value for the cost (under $30).

Over the years I have made 4 or 5 attempts to find the perfect cycling bag to take to races or out of town club rides. I have had giant duffles with wheels that are so big they take up half a rear seat in a vehicle. I have had bags that were sloppy with no shape that don't seem to allow any organization and I have had very expensive bags that had pockets that made no sense or served no purpose. All of them were OK and were similar in that they were sausage shaped and were confined to the limits of that configuration. This ZIPP bag is unique in that it is almost a square shape, with a somewhat rigid bottom shape and yet it has the really nice shoe compartment in the bottom. It has a whole bunch of zippered pockets that I thought I would not use, but it turns out that I do use them all. The helmet net on top actually works, much to my surprise I like it! I do not put water bottles in the outside net pockets, but instead put misc. food items and other things that I want quick access to and don't want to forget about. Overall, it is a very high quality product that is very close to "the bag". I did not give a five star because it still doesn't make me faster in a criterium, but it does make me feel well organized.

I purchased this backpack from Sam's Club a year ago and it is still going strong.  I have back and hip problems and because of the adjustable straps and mesh backing and shoulder straps I can carry very heavy loads fine.  I am short though (5 ft) so it does look pretty big on my back but I don't care.  There are so many pockets and some of them are deep so you can hide things in them easier, ie keys, phone,etc.  the side pockets that are for the water bottles are awesome and the elasticity of them has never worn out.  Over this backpack is amazing and I would highly recommend it.  As a matter of fact I loved mine so much that my husband got one and loves it too!
