Utility Basket

Product Review (submitted on April 6, 2010):

I purchased a pair of UB's in '07 for use as panniers on a 5,000 mile ride to Alaska. They held up fantastic and I've toured another 3,000 miles with them in the past 2 years. Bought the wife a pair of UB's in '09 for a 1,000 mile tour through Canada. My 'classic' version had a pull over hood with retaining clasps which I prefer over the zipper closure, which is the version my wife has. The hook attachment to the rack is quality construction and durable. Have never had a problem. For simplicity, I would recommend UB's for touring with one large open compartment. I can easily stuff a sleeping bag and clothes in one. Food and camping gear go in the other. The rain covers also fit well. Overall... quality is great. Would recommend UB's for touring or other cycling local 'errands'.
