Woodward Backpack Pannier
=== split content ===
The Woodward was featured on Gear Patrol's list of Best Bike Panniers, a roundup of the best commuter panniers by Meg Lappe.
"This pannier and backpack comes from the Pacific Northwest, so you can bet that it’s waterproof. There’s a lifetime warranty on the Woodward, which backs up its craftsmanship (each bag is made by hand). It comes in three colors — deep green, bold navy and black, each with reflective detailing so you don’t have to worry about riding at night. The internal laptop sleeve is a must-have, and the external pockets make it easy to stash your phone so you can check directions at stop lights. Attaching it to your bike is a breeze: just slide the hooks over your rear rack and connect the bungee cord. The hide-away backpack straps are a huge convenience as I hop on and off my bike frequently along my route. Velcro seals all the external pockets, so while loud, I’ve never once worried about my keys flying out mid-commute."
-Meg Lappe, for Gear Patrol
When you order your new bike pannier or convertible backpack pannier you’ll need to select the hook size that best fits your bike’s cargo rack. These hooks—two near the top of the pannier—slot over the horizontal tube(s) of the cargo rack and then a bottom hook on a bungee holds tension for a secure fit.
While it’s a simple system, one of the most common questions we get is: what’s the right hook size for my bike? Click to read more.
