To find these panniers I've had to use alot of terrible, low quality ones, so do yourself a favor and just start with any of the Arkel bags--they're awesome. Can't say enough about how good they are.

I did a lot of research before I purchased these panniers. I know the cost of these was quite high. I believe they are worth every cent. Before I purchased this set of panniers, I spoke with the people at Arkel who were veery friendly and helpfull.

sleeping pad pocket is not quite as large as i would have liked. i have to buy a new, smaller pad. i also had to buy a huge rack (jandd expedition) to move the panniers back, away from my heels when peddaling. despite these minor hassles, i am EXTREMELY statisfied.
