This is a great waterproof, resistant companion for touring adventures! It can be installed on the front or rear. Also, the Dolphin 32 is an awesome complement to Dolphin 48 rear bike panniers.
What has changed from the previous version?
At first glance, you'll notice that the design of the Dauphin 32 pannier has been streamlined. The front pocket has been updated with an elastic material, allowing for more personal items to be stored. The side pockets are also wider and more elastic, making them suitable for holding water bottles or objects of varying sizes.
Also, the side attachment webbing straps can now be pass inside of the pockets or outside & over them to better compress and secure your load. You can also pass the webbing strap underneath the light tabs to hold them in place. Small details that makes the difference on your trip !

- Well-rounded bag also for the daily commute or months-long expeditions
- Fit a lot of your personal belongings, thanks to the roomy roll-top closure compartment
