Works great as a summer setup, where there is no need for extra capacity to carry morning ride clothes home in the evening. Didn't pack a lunch today, but the bag is only half full, so plenty of room to spare. Nice to remove the rack for a change and go with a lighter and more aero setup. The bag is a waterproof drybag and fairly heavy duty. Backpacks are out of the question for me, especially in the summer.

You sure you don't want a ridiculously overpriced carbon rack so you can commute without the extra "hassle" of an extra pound?
