I bought these trying to save a bit of weight for my second tour. They're by far the lightest waterproof panniers I've found, and boy are they waterproof! I took them out to the Catskill Mountains in NY, and upstate NY never. stops. raining. It was torrential, but the contents inside stayed completely and totally dry. The one minor issue is the attachment system. It's definitely a bit confusing. A quick-release system would be SO beneficial. However, they are sturdy, so I can deal with the extra few minutes fiddling with the attachment. Even the attachment system does not affect my rating, though. They are truly 5 stars, through and through. They trump Ortleib in price and weight, match them in waterproofing, and if the only problem is a finicky but manageable attachment system, so be it. Highly recommended!!

Very light, waterproof and appear durable for their weight. They are a saddlebag type, meant for rear rails with top decks. They may work on those rare front racks that do have top decks, but I haven't tested. I really like the design. They can be carried over your shoulders saddlebag style. They are a good size for those that don't need/want the volume of bigger panniers.

These panniers are very light but seem strong enough for day trips and general touring. The attachment system is a little odd but is stable once it is installed.

1st: Panniers are THIN. 2nd: They R extremely WATERPROOF. 3rd: Mostly, everything in the video is correct!! However, It could be because I am NOT mechanically inclined!! Putting them on the rack I had a little difficulty, so I kind of permanently secured them on to the Rack! Otherwise, WONDERFUL!!! :-)

Arkel's video states 171 cu in Instead of the 1700 for the drylites. I guess the Canadians don't know the english system well.
