Decent panniers

[Moodyman]

Want good quality panniers in a mid-range price.

I know that Orlieb are the benchmark, but I don't want to pay Ortlieb prices.

Most usage will be a 25 mile daily commute. Occasional UK overnight tours in the spring/summer.

Would prefer the roll-over panniers - i.e two side sections and one on top.

I'd recommend these from EBC. Very good VFM.

As opposed to indecent panniers..........

Wiggle do the same panniers under their dhb brand.

There were also the Polish ones (sorry can't remember any more information).

Wiggle haven't been stocking anything other than the front DHB panniers for a while, or at least they weren't when I've looked.

I've recently bought the EBC ones, well chuffed for under fifty quid. Made by Vaude apparently, which I take to be a good thing.

A long time ago, in the computer industry, there was a saying.."Nobody gets fired for buying IBM".

Ortlieb.

Ortlieb.

Yeah, but IBM were so arrogant they thought they're business would never fail. It almost did .

Decathlon do some BTwin panniers which may do the job.

Bomb-proof though

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Another vote for Altura stuff. I've used it for years.

The thing about Ortlieb panniers is that if you were to buy a pair as a teenager you could fairly confidently put them in your will for your grandchildren.

Not my experience at all. I've had Carradice, Ortlieb and Vaude, all lasted around 5 years of daily use. I'm satisfied with that, though there's plenty of round the world tourers who don't get a year out of them.
