Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had these panniers for a month. So far, they are just fantastic. I don't know how the long-term durability of these bags will be, though they certainly seem well-made. It's the first set of panniers I've ever owned, and I wouldn't describe myself as a serious cyclist, more of a couple-day-a-week commuter.
I live in an extremely rainy place and I have used them for commuting to work. So far, the insides are absolutely rainproof, no matter how heavy the rain. Under the main flap is a cuffed top to the main compartment that you roll over itself and secure with a clicking clasp, kind of the way some diving bags work. The main flap then covers this rolled-up cuff and has a separate clicking clasp and belt to cinch it tight. It's hard to describe the cuff setup. but it works great. I love the bright color for visibility and reflective logo on the sides. I've read other reviews stating that the outside zipper eventually loses its waterproof properties from the abrasion of opening/closing the zipper over time, kind of an unavoidable result of how a zipper functions, so I've avoided using it for that reason. Under the main flap is a mesh compartment that would be good for storing anything that you don't mind getting wet. (My wet socks from my commute into work go in there when I ride home). By mounting these panniers as far back as possible, I haven't had any problems with my heels hitting the bags, which was a concern, and a reason I avoided the larger "typhoon" model which seems to be otherwise identical to these.
I've been pleased with how secure these are on the carrier, no movement that I can detect. There is a small rotating wedge-shaped plastic lock on the back of the bag between the hooks that helps keep it securely in place against the rack.
I would recommend these highly, and the price was an amazing value.
