VAUDE Aqua Back Rear Pannier Bike Bag - Set of 2 - PVC Tarpaulin Bike Panniers - Waterproof Pannier Bags with a 48 Litre Total Storage Volume

Love them

Lovely looking bags and massive when fully opened. Far too big for me but I'll certainly be keeping them as I'm sure I'll need all the space some day. They are easy to install on the bike and the level of adjustment is fantastic. I couldn't recommend these enough.

These are amazing exactly what I wanted great quality very spacious light weight and beautiful colour I got the blue ones and I love them

I use a rear view camera on my bike, and having a bag on the rack obstructed its view so I opted for these instead. They are absolutely brilliant! The mounting system is superbly engineered and very adjustable. Once adjusted to fit my rack, the two mounting clips at the top of the panniers click lock securely into place when pushed onto the rack, and the lower securing bars fit across the down tubes of the rack providing additional support and also stopping the panniers from sliding forwards and being struck by your heel when pedalling.Each locking clip has a knurled wheel which allows you to adjust the amount of grip required to hold the panniers firmly to the rack and the manufacturers have allowed for different thicknesses of rack tubing by supplying three removable rubber inserts. Just choose the ones that suit the diameter of your rack tubing and pop them into place - so simple and effective.To remove the panniers, simply pull up on the carry handles and the top locks snap open.The panniers themselves are made from a very tough yet flexible material and the roll top closure design is very effective. Once rolled down, the panniers are locked shut with an adjustable strap across the top and I can't see how water could get in unless I drop the bike into a canal!These panniers are big enough to hold anything I could need them for, and there are zip-up pockets inside to hold documents etc that you might like to keep separated. I've only had them for a short time, but I really can't fault their design or function so far. Brilliant items of essential kit.

Very strong, apart from the front buckle! Despite no damage evident, the buckle unclips itself with little load. This only happened after a few rides.

It was well worth it to pay for the best...

I use them most days for commuting to work.They are big enough to get a couple of bike locks, a bike rain cover, helmet, gloves, full waterproofs, lunch, spare jumper and top all in. So quite big.They are definitely waterproof; I've tested them in the rain on the way to work a number of times and also have left them out in the rain all day too with no water ingress.They seem sturdy with thick materials and robust joints although time will tell, I've only had them a couple of months at most. There are no parts that seem like weak points that would break in not that much time as is often the case in many products these days.4 stars in versatility as there are no outside pockets for quickly stowing anything, if you want to put something in you have to open it right up and then close it again. Maybe that is not an issue for you.They're not cheap but they are good quality and seem like they will last.

I purchased these Vaude panniers for my wife's cycle using Warehouse and was totally overwhelmed with the condition of them. Took the risk of ordering again for me, using Warehouse, and equally amazed. I have two Ortleibs but the hard pannier back makes for a more robust pannier. People, look at Amazon Warehouse, there are fantastic bargains and you are saving it from landfill.
