Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my third set of panniers and I must say that they are the best (and cheaper than my last set)! I purchased these on Amazon for three main reasons:
1.Safety: These panniers have an excellent mounting system and the bags are securely held to the rack. A simple click and you are virtually guaranteed that they will stay in place. I ride mainly on roads (sometimes fairly rough) but have recently ridden on some canal and mild single track without incident. The panniers also have a stiff backing which means that even if the packs are not completely full you don't have to worry about them getting stuck in your spokes (a problem which I had with my inexpensive (yet utilitarian) set as well as my significantly more expensive set). These packs have more reflective surface than any others that I have owned or seen on the market. It may not seem like much but dont ever underestimate the importance of being seen (I'll get off my soap box now).
2.Convenience: I am a commuter (and occasionally do some touring) and these panniers can be easily removed from the bike by simply depressing a lever and pulling up on the bag (these packs won the maker an InnoBike Design Award in 2009). Very convenient for packing and for taking with you to change in and out of gear/work clothes. They fit nicely in lockers. Did I mention that they come with a rain cover which stow in an underneath pocket?
3.Space: Plenty of space. My 15" laptop (I use a laptop sleeve which also holds mouse and power supply), important papers and work clothes (help pad the laptop) fit in one bag with shoes, toiletries, camp towel (high absorbant yet small), and lunch in the other (with room to spare for jackets etc. in cold weather). The three outside pockets hold extra bike tubes, tools, keys, wallet, etc. nicely. I really like the compressions straps. When I first got the bags they looked smaller that I had expected, but once you loosen up the compression straps a world of space is available. I often will get groceries on my way home and can easily fit what I need in the packs (although the lunch box may need to get strapped to the top of the rack if I have to get a gallon of milk among other things).
The packs do work on my universal rack but I did order the pakrac and I would suggest getting it (extremely light weight).
I was also impressed with the seller. My order arrived sooner than anticipated and in great shape.
