Durability under everyday use conditions with occasional shopping trips? Is fabric ripstop and how have the bag detachment clips held up? Thanks!

I did not use the Ibera Panniers when received, as they did not fit my electric bike due to my extra wide rack. However, these bags appeared very sturdily built, and if looks matters, one of the better looking units out there.

I think that under occasional use it would be a great bag. I was using it for daily commuting and it seemed to to not hold up under such frequent use.

Your durability question describes my own usage fairly accurately. I've had the panniers for two years and they hold up fine, except one bottom left inside corner got caught in the rear tire and chewed up slightly (but it might have been avoided with more care). I don't take the bags off regularly because I use the inside straps to secure the bags to my rack so the detachment clips don't have much wear and tear.

This bag is very durable. The fabric is very tough and heavy duty. The clips and strap's are very strong and hold up very well ! It's a well put together bag!

So far it's held up fine. My only compliant is the clips are plastic, kinda flimsy. I'm also securing it with bungee chords. Not sure abt fabric and what ripstop is. But the fabric is great. Very durable.

These are well built and very durable. I've had mine for about 6 months and haul groceries in it (heavy) and bags hold up well. Detachable bag is great for shopping bag. Clips are fine on mine.

The quality is great, I would recommend based on durability and quality material..Mark

These panniers have held up well. I use them to commute to work daily and have had no problems with the durability of the fabric or the clasps. I don't take both bags off too often. I usually only take off the one without the clips. So I have not noticed a problem with the clips.

It's held up well so far for me. I have over a dozen nights in it so far with no rips. The sides are pretty much the same as any tent, plastic nylon material, and the bottom is a woven plastic tarp material.

I haven't had an issue yet with multiple trips to the range. I pack it heavy as well. Nothing has fallen apart yet. I have been very pleased with the bag.

My bag has been very dependable. I am very hard on them. I have had no problems.

I am unsure since I haven't wash mine a single time in the washing machine. But I doubt it'll break. It seems sturdy even though it feels super light. I think it'll be fine as long as there isn't something sharpy that can tear such bag during the washing...

I have had this bag for about 8 months and use them weekly to haul groceries. I have had them loaded down quite heavily and had no problems with the zippers or any other part of the item.

I store it in its (flimsy) poly bag and its box, using the foam corner inserts, using some elastic bands to keep it closed. A padded ripstop bag will last longer and be more compact, but I haven't seen one. OTOH, i haven't really looked very hard.

I have had the backpack for a year and it's really hardy. Rain, sleet, and snow the bag hasn't failed me yet. I ride a bike in inclement weather and it's kept my gear dry as a bone.

I've had three of them for about two years and travel with them constantly. I'm easy on my equipment and use well padded bags so I'm not sure how they would hold up to abuse but with proper care I've had no issues at all.

Mine has held up. It gets really squeezed when in its bag. It takes a little while for it to bounce back to its shape but always has.

Hi Brian, from my experience I can say that the bag was quite sturdy overall. I gifted it to my dad for his laptop and I haven't heard any complaints from him :) for the price it's a great value. I spent more on another bag for myself and that one broke, so name brand and price aren't always an indicator of quality. I hope this is helpful :) happy shopping.

I can't say it won't ever break, but mine have lasted quite well. Also replacement bags are fairly reasonable -- unlike another I've owned.

I'm a bit late but just wanted to contribute as well. I've had this bag for about four years now. It's been to about six countries, many plane cargo holds and airports, and who knows how many beaches and sketchy modes of transportation. It's still in perfect shape and I am confident I will be using it on many backpacking trips to come. I consider this to be one of the most reliable purchases I've made.

absolutely! of course, with normal and repetitive use, the bag just might get the signs of normal wear and tear, but I'm confident it'll hang tough. if not, the company has a SUPER return policy. the owner will reach out to you personally to make sure you're satisfied. where else can you get a guarantee like that!?! you've got nothing to lose.

Maxpedition is high quality. Had mine for a couple of years now. I carry it 5 days a week and have no issues with materials or workmanship. I expect the pack to last many more years to come.

It is not very strong or durable. I would only recommend it for light use. If you use it daily keep the weight in the bag very light.

Yes the mesh cargo compartment underneath the stroller is very durable. I've crammed many shopping bags, blankets, my purse etc. into in while shopping!!! Should do the job for you!!! Good Luck!!!
