This are awesome panniers. The adjustable mounting system allowed me to mount them from optimal heel clearance. They are so easy to take on and off. Perfect for going to the supermarket!! Also perfect for a long tour. |

I finally retired my trusty, 20 year old Lone Peaks. The Ortliebs are fantastic for touring! They swallow prodigious amounts of gear easily. My first tour with them was a very rugged mountain bike tour in Michigan's U.P., mostly on single track and logging roads. The Ortliebs were very stable with no rattles. They are equally good for commuting. The quick release feature is just that - quick. Heal clearance is outstanding. I can highly recommend these panniers to anyone! |

Excellent product! The bags fit any rack I have tried attaching them to. The materials are durable... think 20 year lifetime kind of durability. They hold a lot of gear. I'd highly recommend these bags for cycle touring and then getting a set of the smaller ones(front roller) for commuting to work. Oh yeah, and the waterproofness is never in question. They seal the same way dry bags for river rafting seal. |

I used these panniers for a long tour (about 5 days). These were amazingly waterproof, as it rained heavily on one day. Very sturdy, and compact. I think they are great value if you plan to use these for multi-day trips like I will. Bike trailer is also great to deal with, and very accommodating in terms of figuring out my needs.
Would definitely do business with them again!
Thanks!

I run Ortleib Backpacker Classics on a Tubus Vega rack. The strength, stability, and adjustability of both is their greatest feature. I ride 50cm, 700c frame and can avoid heel rub with a full load on this set-up. I commute more than I tour and the bags are a little awkward to carry by hand, but for touring the waterproofness and stability bring priceless peace of mind. Speaking of price both of these items are a solid value for being top of the line. Thanks Bike Trailer Shop.
