Roll top closure
The roll top cleverly folds over once so that the hook and loop Velcro meet to create the first closure. Then buckle both ends to the side compression straps, tighten and voila! A dry carry system!

Moulded HMWPE backplate
Moulded HMWPE backplate greatly reduces the wear on the fabric and provides a super strong structure for the pannier.

Front zippered pocket
Having a front zippered pocket on a rolltop design with taped seams was essential in our eyes. This one is just the right size for items that need to be zippered and safe.

Hidden opening
The space behind the front pocket is ideal to stash gear that has to be kept handy – sun tan lotion, maps, gloves, it’s up to you.

Self draining pocket
In order to create an extra usable pocket on the front of the Dolphin 48, we designed the hidden pocket with an open bottom. A mesh panel allows rain to flow through and not pool any water behind the front pocket and the mesh retains small and large items so you won’t lose them.

Side mesh pockets
Handy side mesh pockets provide extra volume on the outside of the pannier and also allow air flow storage.

Reflective piping
Remaining seen on the road is essential after dark so we’ve placed lots of reflective piping and strips on the Dolphins.

Fabric
TPU coated 400 Denier Ripstop Nylon with DWR finish on the outside makes these panniers super tough in the long run.

Compression
The roll top closure buckles from the side to provide great load compression and assures a dry seal to the top.

Fantastic bags! Review by Swervy

I've had a pair of Dolphin 32 and Dolphin 48 bags and consider them the nicest set of bags I've ever owned. After using most of the other top brands on the market , I gravitated towards the Arkel bags because their mounting system is simple and secure. They are much more resistant to bouncing around on your rack, and I have yet to see them pop loose from the rack over many miles of dirt touring. In addition to the mounting system, the dry bag material keeps everything dry without the need for additional liners. These bags are very well thought out and constructed. Despite my desire to see a true roll-top enclosure, these are simply the best bags on the market for wet conditions, for people who love simplicity and durability, and for anybody needing a pannier to mount securely to a rack.
