XM-28

Product Review (submitted on November 4, 2010):

I have taken 4 of these panniers with me on 3 epic touring trips through Europe. Their tough and rugged material makes them both strong and durable and keeps me from worrying when my bike takes an unexpected spill or I really have to jam some gear into the bag. As an another review noted the D rings that you can hook a strap to are also very helpful when you need to move all 4 bags at once but the design of the bag makes carrying one bag around with a strap very uncomfortable because either the hooks, used to attach it to the rack, rub against your side or you have to carry it with the outside facing in. The one complaint I have is that, living in western Norway where it rains 5 out of 7 days a week, these bags are not more waterproof as some varieties you see on the market. Please note that they never claim to be waterproof... it is just something I wish I would have considered prior to purchasing these since it makes these panniers less useful for daily commuting. All in all a great product! The hooks are adjustable by the way so that they can fit snuggly and securely on both your front and back rack! Erik
