    Comments about Ortlieb Front Roller Panniers:

    I have now been using these for six years for daily commuting. In the summer on long bicycle touring trips they are demoted to front panniers. In the winter, they get to ride on the back of the bike keeping everything dry.

    Some may find the front panniers too small, but I find them very adaptable and they get heavy usage. If you need larger panniers, go for the back rollers (or any of the other Ortlieb panniers that meet your needs). These ones I find are a good compromise and get heavy usage as a result (in the summer I travel with non-waterproof panniers on the back).

    When I finally had to replace my old panniers, there was no question as to what I would do - I am now on my second pair of these. Highly recommended.

      Comments about Ortlieb Front Roller Panniers:

      Ok, full disclosure: I own these panniers, but have never actually used them. But I have a very intimate relationship with my set of Ortlieb Backroller panniers, which I love dearly. These are basically the same thing, only smaller and designed for front-use. The Backrollers are awesome. I didn't use these for my tour because I fit everything into the back panniers, although it's still a good idea to use both. They are durable, stylish, absolutely watertight and they won't let you down while touring. Ortlieb = awesome.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Ortlieb Front Roller Panniers:

      Well constructed, attention to detail, and perfect size for intended use. I have an English Audax Sport Tourer which actually rides better and offers more stability with the front roller classics, attached to my low rider racks.(6 pounds a bag is plenty) Flexible, when grocery shopping I can carry light, odd shaped items, with the top open or roll them up and they are completely waterproof. This works well in Tampa, Fl. downpours. The yellow and black provides good visability and looks great on my medium blue bike. These with my backroller classics and ultimate classic handlebar bag, are "a gracious plenty." I wouldn't want to carry much more than this. The only design flaw, I do not like the way the shoulder strap, attaches to the retaining clip, on the outside of the bag. I can always remove the strap and stow it away. Overall, I am very pleased.

      Installation is extremely comfortable.
      I'm using this pannier bag with Dahon 20inch folding bike with front rack.
      It's perfect match.
