Rick –
I’ve used my Arkel Orca 35’s for probably close to 10 years on all of my cycling adventures. Solid construction, simple to operate, no pain in the butt adjusting. Just a simple install. I’ve rode in 55 miles of cold Spring rains with no leaking. Plenty of room for gear. I’ve used them on both an Old Man Mt. Sherpa Rack and a Salsa Wanderlust Rack. I will say that I recently purchased an OMM Divide Rack that fits a thru axel Obed Boundary and the Orcas don’t fit. The problem is the Divide Rack itself. The top bar where the cams connect is too close to the top tray. When you pull the strap to install or release the pannier there isn’t enough clearance between the two. OMM claims the rack fits all panniers but they need to redesign. Apart from that issue I’ve been an unofficial spokesperson for Orca for over 10 years and will continue to use them.
