The Pika is a pretty good design. No sway; rolls up compactly when carrying little, but expands amazingly when completely filled; I've carried surprisingly large grocery loads in mine. I did sell it because I found other bags better for my use, but for minimalist, non-supported, and non-sway saddle-attached carriage, that and the Viscacha are wonderful. The downside is that, when you fill it up completely, you have all your load stuffed into a long, narrow tunnel, so this isn't the best bag for frequent and rapid access to contents.
