Perfectly secured my Legion 17″ Armored Gaming Backpack II on Acid Pure Universal RILink Pannier Rack.
No need to make a holes in straps, just secure it with the screwdriver. The only drawback was that hooks arrived with metal-colored screws instead of black ones.

I was worried about how well these hooks would work on my backpack but they worked perfectly! They fit at the tops of my Northface Borealis backpack’s shoulder straps perfectly and also onto the rear rack of my Aventon ebike. My backpack is very secure on my commute to work. I really couldn’t be happier with the set up! Next step- buying more so I can convert my grocery bags into grocery panniers!

Simply genius. My backpack will not bother me anymore while riding with my little one on the back seat. I will remark the excellent service customer quick was really helpful sorting out the delivery issues in the Netherlands.
Great service, better stuff.

My wife and I just bought Hase Kettwiesel recumbent trikes. We attached these hooks to backpacks which allowed us to hang the backpacks to the back of the Kettwiesel seat. They work great. We now have economical day pannier for our trikes to carry tools, tubes, jackets, gloves, etc. And when we stop, we can just unhook the backpack and carry it on our shoulders.

These things are sweet. I got the king and bird of prey- got both installed on a backpack and a cooler backpack in about 15 minutes. Seller was super responsive and helpful- highly recommend.

I used these to convert both of my Chrome messenger backpacks into panniers, and it worked like a charm! I can now use my backpacks as both regular backpacks and panniers, which is great. The hooks don’t effect comfort when I wear the packs, as they are all the way up at the very top of the strap.
I wish I’d bought these hooks for my bags sooner sooner!

The hooks were a big success. I used them on my front rack by creating a harness with half inch webbing and some homemade tyvek roll-tops. At first, I did a shakedown with a bungee on each bag but that actually pulled things up, though the hooks didn’t jump off the rack. Next, I just ran the webbing behind the front rack then under my bags and it was super stable. I’m still surprised by how stable the bags were.
I was on paved roads most of the time with a tiny bit of gravel once in a while. I may try to make more traditional style front panniers or evolve the existing system, but I wouldn’t hesitate to do it exactly the same way again.
