Bottom line

Old Man Mountain's Juniper is a 7L waterproof trunk bag that experts believe is as resilient and durable as the shrub it's named after, but none test it long-term. Installation is easy, and the bag stays secure over rough terrain. There's also enough clearance for dropper seatposts. The roll-top closure is easy to use, but some feel the single strap is insufficient. Overall, the OMM Juniper impresses experts and owners, despite the slightly disappointing closure.

Old Man Mountain Juniper Trunk, Ponderosa Panniers: Review

… the trunk bag is great and held my sleep pad, an ancient Thermarest one, perfectly with room to spare.

Review: Old Man Mountain Juniper Trunk

It’s basically a badass grocery bag with a zipper pocket. Cram stuff in, roll it down, cinch it tight.

Old Man Mountain Gravel & MTB Luggage Rack Special

The Juniper Bag works excellently as a small additional bag on the luggage rack. The installation via the four straps is significantly easier than with the Ponderosa Panniers, but the bag only holds about half as much.
