      Comments about Detours Transit Tour Panniers:

      These are well made for "light duty" panniers. They are large enough to hold a weeks worth of clothing for a light tour or a days supplies for a commute. They come with rain covers but are not completely waterproof. An excellent value for the price.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Defects in design; too early to tell

      By RandomTroll

      from albuquerque, nm

      Pros

      • Lightweight

      Cons

      • Too Small

      Best Uses

        Comments about Detours Transit Tour Panniers:

        The screws that hold the clips on protrude, quickly poking
        holes in the fabric; the nuts on these screws are screwed so tightly
        they depress the backboard deeply, which will cause it to break
        sooner. I added fender washers and cap nuts, but even better would be to make the the clips solid underneath the nuts so that a
        tightly-fastened nut wouldn't deform the backboard. The screws are 4-millimeter.

        Poor Design

        By JSRS

        from Arlington, VA

        About Me Office Professional

        Pros

        • Lightweight
        • Lots of Storage

        Cons

        • Wears Easily

        Best Uses

          Comments about Detours Transit Tour Panniers:

          I agree with commenter who complained about the screws poking through from the bag mounts. It's a terrible, cheap design. I'm a work commuter and, after just a few uses, the screws punctured holes in a nice folio I was carrying. It seems it would be simple for the manufacturer to find a way to cover the screws or have them flush with the bag.

          I replaced these with the next version up from Novara which has plastic tips on each of the screws inside the bag to protect contents. A much smarter, safer design.

          Don't buy this bag.
