Review: Great Quality Panniers - I tried to buy a pair of these in the red colour from desertcart Warehouse, but was really disappointed to find that the package contained only one pannier, despite the order quite clearly stating that I had ordered a pair. I returned that one for a refund and bought these instead, hoping that a pair would arrive. Well, the good news was that two panniers did indeed get delivered. The regular price of these high quality panniers is around £140 with slight differences according to which colour one chooses. Although they are beautifully designed and constructed without compromise, I really cannot see them being worth the regular price. That is where desertcart Warehouse comes in; I paid about £73 for these and they are very good value indeed at that price. I was unable to find anything that might lead me to think that these were not new, even though they were described as being scratched in places. I have no doubt that these panniers will prove 100% waterproof. The fabric is a sturdy plastic and all seams are welded. The method of attaching them to your bike's rack is very clever and it's simple to adjust the system to fit your bike. Once adjusted, the panniers were very quick to fit to the bike. Sadly, that means that they will be simple for a thief to remove them, so a lock through the handles would be a good idea if the bike is left in a dodgy area. The system includes fittings to work with various diameters of tubing on your bike's rack. The panniers are a really generous size and the outer pockets are useful for things that require quick access. Inside each pannier is a large zipped pocket for documents, etc. The panniers are supplied with shoulder straps to enable them to be more easily carried off the bike. I cannot find any fault with these gorgeous German panniers, so if you are interested in buying some, why not check out the desertcart Warehouse and garb yourself a genuine bargain?
Review: Awesome panniers - so long as you don’t need to shoulder-hoist them often. - These panniers are awesome. I had the previous Vaude pannier model, without the additional pockets, for eight years before they finally gave up the ghost. They were amazing: compact, tough and 100% waterproof (I usually rinse them off in the shower after a wet ride - with not a single leak). The side clip finally cracked after eight years of hard use (including two international tours and regular large shopping trips), so I got these to replace them. This model is definitely superior. All of the clips have been updated, the design streamlined and they’ve even added an extra feature of padlock holes on the rack clips, to prevent theft. Still to work out which locks will fit the (rather small) holes, but that can wait for now. The additional pockets are a significant improvement over the single-bag model. My lights and cold weather gear neatly pack into the external pockets for easy access, leaving far more space for heavy loads to be spread across both panniers. About to take them on their first big shopping trip and I’m looking forward to being able to fit more fruit into all this extra space! They do have a few cons: the shoulder straps are still pretty basic and uncomfortable with heavy loads. That said, the clips have been improved so that the bag no longer has to be rolled and clipped on the sides for the shoulder-straps to be attached. This is a major bonus - and the straps do pack down very small, which is probably what they’re going for. Additionally, it took me a little bit to work out how this model was meant to be rolled; there were no pictures on the box that seemed to be possible. A simple roll at the top seems to work great, though. It wasn’t complicated in the end. This model still retains the problematic carry design, too. With the hook on one side and the plastic, they definitely need to be carried with their soft side towards the body, to prevent bruises. This doesn’t bother me much, though, because I rarely carry them when they’re full. Whenever possible, I wheel them to the bike in a trolley or keep them on the rack while filling them. The design has really been improved since the last model, though. My old panniers used to rattle a bit and make noise over bumps. These are entirely silent and they stay firm and in place even over light off-road and potholes. They're also pretty aesthetically pleasing, which is a small but not insignificant bonus. Add that to their existing product features and I don’t think I could face buying another kind of pannier. All in all, these are excellent panniers. with really useful model updates. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built
*by H***J on 30 July 2018*

I've been looking for a decent set of panniers for a long time. It's always annoyed me how much they cost, but I have to say, I really think these panniers are worth the money. They're incredibly well built and and nearly incredibly well designed. It's as if everything has been thought of. I love how easy they are to lift on and off your bike, and how you can secure them onto your bike. They're really lightweight and incredibly strong. There are just 3 things that annoy me: 1. The shape... obviously when you load them up you want to put the heaviest things at the bottom. However, these taper so much that if your heaviest thing also happens to be your biggest thing, they're really difficult to load. I appreciate that there needs to be a certain amount of tapering so as to not to inhibit the rider, but it would be much better if they were more of a rhomboid shape and covering the rear wheel a bit more at the bottom. 2. The hard backing and the sharp connectors on the back of the bag... When carrying the bag using the shoulder strap, the hard backing of the bag and the attachments used to secure the bag to your bike, really dig into you, to the point of being painful. I appreciate that you can just turn the bag round and carry it with the opening nearest your body, but psychologically that annoys me for some reason. Every time I lift the bag off my bike to carry, I have to remind myself that I need to turn it round the other way. 3. The shoulder protector on the strap... It has such sharp corners that if you're only wearing a thin top or the plastic is sitting against bare skin, it really digs in and is incredibly painful. A simple thing like having rounded corners would make it much more comfortable to carry heavy loads. Normally I take star off for each of the things that annoys me, but these do seem to be good quality so that seemed a little unfair.
