Bottom line
Old Man Mountain's Hemlock includes two 7L roll-top bags and their cages. The quick-release packs attach to the FLiP cages, which in turn attach to three-pack mounts. A testament to the system's effectiveness is that some competitors' bags can be used with the FLiP cages. The bags and cages earn praise for their waterproofing, versatility, robustness, and ease of use. Everything remains secure and silent over rough terrain. Buyers should note that some three-pack fork mounts may angle bags toward spokes or tires. Overall, the Old Man Mountain Hemlock comes highly recommended by both experts and owners.Expert Reviews
