sackville shopsack

[Thomas Lynn Skean]

ShopSack is not designed to be used without a basket. Personally I can't see how to make it work satisfactorily without one.

With the corresponding Wald basket:

The medium is not quite big enough for my normal shopping. For smaller hauls it's perfect, though. The large, however, *could* push the Mini's carrying capacity if the bag is loaded down. But it does work well. In either case, normal zip ties (4-6) work well to anchor the basket to the rack.

For non-basket shopping I like panniers, the SaddleSack Large and even the SlickerSack.

I have both sizes and use the medium with and without a basket.  I have a platrack and just bungie net it to the top of that - works great with no basket.  

I think the ShopSacks are the best bag for the buck out there.  Great near waterproof bags, handy as shopping bags for the stops at the grocer, and will carry a lot of gear.  With the baskets, they are perfect.  

Pro tip: put tape around the wire you attach the clips to to stop annoying rattles.

Any thoughts on the Sackville shopsack? Either medium size or large? I was considering using this as a grocery getter for my mini front rack (sans basket).

Now, I use a "selle an atomica" tote bag. I crisscross the straps, loop them around my noodle handlebars, and the load is suprisingly stable. But the Selle Anatomica bag is almost played out, and they don't have more. I need a new shopping tote. No, I don't want a basket. 

Any thoughts on the strap length of the medium? the large? Would the straps be long enough to hook around drop bars? Is the large way too large? the medium big enough for grocery runs?

Thanks.
