Why doesn't the Diablo (Red) bag have compression straps that go all the way around the bottom like the others do? Look at the pics.

I got a compression sack that was roughly the same size as the stuff sack that came with it, but it only compressed end-to-end. I didn't realize that what I needed was more of something to make it thinner, not as much shorter. The bag actually fits well in the stuff sack, and into the "stuff" compartment of my backpack, so I am sticking with that setup until I find the "perfect" compression sack. The number 30 comes to mind for what I did buy, though. I would go a step lower than that if I really had to have a stuff sack...that wasn't "perfect". Hope this helps.....

The bag has gaps on top where the rings are but could be easily taped over - note: do not put items on the bottom of the bag because it then pulls the bag down and puts pressure on the top rings.

The only thing I say which can be improved with this bag is if they made it with a flat bottom like the last tool bag/pouch I used. When it's zipped up it falls forward.

I couldn't get it back in the bag either, no matter how much help I got. I ended up getting a big enough duffle bag at walmart and separate compression sack ends to go with it. Either way about it, it takes up some room.

I can imagine you could make that work? you will probably need to figure out a way to harness it laterally due to the size of the bag. It is a good sized bag and you might find yourself fighting with it to keep it in place??? otherwise you will not be disappointed with the bag as a garment bag even with the lack of small gear pockets.

the rack has supports that afixed by a screw just above the axle of the rear wheel. think of an upside down triangle, wide part of triangle supporting rack,on top, point at botom secured by scre. There iare hooks at the point. When the side bags are out, there is abungy cord at the bottom of the bags that go around the hooks.

No, there's a tier strap in the way. The bag is also small, and the plastic adjusters break all the time as a side note.

To add to my previous response: The top has an overhang and the bag stuffs up under the overhang. Great!

I purchased a nonvtactical model. It has straps everywhere ! I can see two at the bottom also! But the point is its ridiculously small size!

It is only a handle to grab the bag from the top opposed to using the shoulder straps. In addition there are not any wheels on the bottom only small rubber footing to keep the bag sitting upright.

They certaiy would not. The pockets are only 4×5 inches and can expand out 1-3 inches depending on how much you shove in them. The bag as a whole is much smaller than portrayed. Also, I'm not sure if this was just a fluke in my purchase or if the product is just a rip-off, but it did not come with a shoulder strap. The clips to attach one were there, but nothing else.

No. Didn't find any in there. Great bag. Would be perfect if it had straps.

There is a small shock cord at the bottom that can be wrapped around the bike frame. Also, they would not flop much since the side against the bike frame is the thick outside part of the bag...just unfolded. This gives the panniers some stiffness.

Yes the straps hold both bottom and top of the mat tight to the bag. The straps are also adjustable and have buckles for easy release. The mesh part also collapses so if you don't have the mat in its not flipping all around.

Strange!I only have one smaller bag that fits inside,I don't know what the longer bag would be for???maybe it was a packaging mistake.I suggest calling manufacturer just to be sure but it works fine with the small bag.

If he means the clips that are hooked onto the handle straps, down at the base, we have a shoulder strap attached to two of those. Is there a strap in your contents? If he means the slide-in buckles (like a baby car seat) that are at each end when its all rolled up, those go down to the matching buckles at the very bottom of pack...to hold the upper part down securely. We didn't see those right away, as they were under the base. Hope he's already figured it out, Christy From: Amazon Answers
