rear rack trunk bags

[coyote]

Hi,
I'm in need of a new trunk bag. I currently have the Trek Interchange but one of the side zippers is going. I think that I've overstuffed it too many times and may have stretched the nylon around it or something. I like using a trunk bag when I don't have much to carry. Perhaps I should just break down and get a pannier.

Do any of you use a trunk bag? Any recommendations?

We use a Arkel as seen here on our tandem:



It's a very nice bag.

I don't have a trunk rack, but if I were to get one, I'd get an Arkel. I have an Arkel laptop pannier and I'm very impressed with it.

I use this one from REI. It does a fine job of carrying safety gear, extra clothing, and my lunch.

That is nice. I like the adjustable staps to make it even more aerodynamic.

The red really goes nice with your tandem.

Do they just velcro on to the rack?

[Mr. SR500]

Yes, attaches with velcro. It also includes a built in rain cover that we've used several times - all unplanned. It's a very nice bag and can expand. It also has some straps on top to stuff a jacket under if needed.

I really like Axiom racks and trunks and it's manufactured in Canada.
