	Was a great pannier!!! by a member from Arlington,Va. USA on Sep 17, 2010
	I just completed a two week bike tour in Switzerland. It was the first time I traveled self contained. I decided on these panniers because they were less expensive than waterproof panniers and larger and lighter than most panniers I reviewed. I was really interested in light!!! I did not need all the space that was afforded and would actually purchase a smaller size if I had to do it again. The panniers were easy to take on and off the bike and the zip pocket on the top of the pannier provided easy access to things I needed during the day. I made the pannier water proof by lining the pannier with a plastic trash bag. It worked beautifully!!! I biked one day in a very drenching rain and all my possessions stayed dry. While others on the trip had much dirtier panniers at the end of the rain day (we all had the same type of bike) my panniers stayed quite clean. Don't know if the material shed dirt better or if I was just lucky. Because I kept the panniers lined with the plastic trash liner I did not use the other zippered openings though could see how they might be a benefit for some people.The only thing I found myself wishing for, was that the panniers had a better handle to carry the panniers when off the bike. Ideally I would have liked to somehow been able to attach the two bags together and wear them as a back pack or have a padded shoulder strap to wear the panniers as a shoulder bag. When carrying the panniers the handle was uncomfortable in the palm of my hand. I really liked these panniers and would highly recommend these to anyone wanting to purchase panniers.

	Arkel Kargo Rear Panniers by a member from Orland Park, IL on Jun 29, 2010
	Very servicable for the money; roomy and lightweight. I also purchased the raincovers which kept the panniers dry in a torrential downpour. All in all a good value.
