[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks CJ! Much appreciated. I'm with you, i can not wait to start touring!! Cheers

[@Hugo-Schlonz]

Thank you so much for this great video! It was super helpful and well-explained. I really appreciate the effort you put into creating such detailed content. Can you please tell me about your experience about stability of the MIK-Adapter. How strong sits the bag on the top. Strong enough for some trails?

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Hello. The MIK system itself is very stable. How stable the bag is will depend on the brand. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻

[@BrainCraft89]

Thank you so much for your long term review, I had this item already in my shopping cart and then I saw your video, thanks for saving my bucks.

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Great to hear I was able to save you from this garbage bag! Thanks for watching. Cheers

Another good and honest review. We use a collapsible cooler as a trunk bag. Not necessarily water proof, but we do put items in it that can get wet. Also, gear is not cheap, so review like this are gold! Thanks!

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

No gear is not cheap and I wouldn't want anyone wasting there money on this bag. Cheers

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

[@JaqueParisien]

Honest review Dean. Thumbs up for that. I am sure that the riders will appreciate it. Talk to you soon. ;=)

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Jaque! Talk soon. Cheers

[@Brackers64]

Great review Dean, people certainly need to know the good the bad and the ugly!! Bob...

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Bob. I have a new MIK bag I will be testing out this year. You will see it when we ride the BT700!

Jizus, I just got this bag (but with the extra large side bags), and I love it. I payed like 560 PLN -> 138 US$. I know its very much but there isn't any other bag like this one. I'm trully afraid that my bag will give the same problems like yours.

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for watching Radoslaw. I would like to say that maybe you will have a better experience but I honestly feel like this is one of the poorest quality bags I have ever purchased. When you compare it to good quality bags like Ortlieb etc it comes up short in every way. Very poor quality zippers, weak stitching and the list goes on. If you are going to keep it I would recommend paying close attention to how it's holding up, So you can return it before it's to late. I have since purchased a new Bontrager bag with MIK and while they look similar the Bontrager bag is superior in every way. Here is a link if you want to check it out.

Good honest review Dean. 32C here!!

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

32C! Thanks for rubbing it JP!! lol

[@reinhartbigl367]

Hey Dean, thanks for the review...appreciate the honesty. I think we've all been there when buying online...the item "looks" good, and with reviews and description, it appears to be a decent bag... I'm sure your authentic review has helped others reconsider whether that bag is for them. As for the MIK mounting system, looks really interesting...and as my kit get's smaller/more efficient, I may be looking into that as a way to secure a more structured bag to my rear rack. Wish I could join you on the BT700...I'm sure you're going to have a great ride, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it went with the subsequent video! Cheers buddy!

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Rienhart. Of course I have been getting my fair share of trolls over on the Facebook groups...but that's what I have come to expect from FB. Most of the haters don't even ride lol. Yes it would be awesome if you could join us on the BT700...next year?!

[@Bikepacking]

Long term testing only way forward ..

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Long-term testing is definitely key to finding what works best.

[@sqd8r]

Thanks. A very expensive bit of kit (I checked it out on Amazon, WOW) for its limited abilities.

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for taking the time to watch. Limited abilities and very poor materials and terribly constructed.

[@jeromewaites5364]

That’s your fault for zipping it up into the bag it’s not the manufacture of the bag fall

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Nonsense. Do you have this bag? It is impossible for the zipper not to get stuck, The inner bag is to tight to the zipper. I noticed this right off the bat and even though I tried to avoid ripping it, it still happened. If I thought it was my fault I would have said so. Good day sir.
