Sunlite C-Sport Fortress Rear Pannier Set - Orange Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased the Sunlite rear panniers in 2007 (mine are gray/black). Used them to tour the east coast (5 weeks), plus for several other smaller tours (less than one week each). These panniers are spacious, completely water proof and stay put nicely with rail adjust clip system and a single lower twist clamp (at least this is how the 2007 model was configured). The bag material remains essentially like new. the upper clamps continue to work well, but the hardware holding the clamps and the twist had to be tightened several times. The mechanism to keep the lower twists are becoming too loose for adjustment (wearing out) - not sure if I would trust the hardware to stay in tact for another long journey. For those that like easy access pockets and compartments, these are not for you - they are essentially big waterproof bags (which has worked just fine for me since I organize internally with stuff sacks and know how to get to my stuff quickly). Will still use for short trips. You can't find a waterproof pannier for this price anywhere else. The only reason I did not rate the Sunlites higher is because the bags will far outlast the attachment hardware, else these panniers could be trusted for many more years of use.

Delta Cycle Megarack Ultra Combo and Delta Day Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There's no getting around having to get creative with your mounting of rear racks sometimes - my frame is wider than most. I purchased Delta's oversized clamps for the stays of my GMC Denali. I had to attach in a funky but sturdy way with 3 screws instead of 2. I'll explain that in my review of the clamps, as most won't use those clamps. But when all is said in done, this is the best rack on Amazon in this price range. I know because I returned the other ones. The hardware is strong and reliable. I was able to amount a Cateye rear tail light and my reflector to the back. I'd recommend this rack over all others.
The bag: Well....the bag isn't as great as I thought it would be. I don't expect it to last very long - at least the folding panniers. My bag arrived damaged with holes at the seams of the panniers. I'll have my girlfriend sew/stitch it, but I'll probably not want to load much in them. I doubt a replacement will have stronger stitching. To specify it's the folding panniers that are cheap. The rest of the bag is sturdy and good quality. If you're just putting a shirt, socks and light pants in those side compartments - should be fine. I wouldn't put a can of soup or anything that heavy (if groceries are your desire) - as the threading will eventually rip.
If your load is light - go for it. If you're serious about carrying more stuff - get a more expensive pannier.
I like the look of it. My bike is yellow and black, so this works out nice. Cars gave me more room on the road too, because it's very eye catching.
