Burley  Pannier Set

I got these for a bikepacking trip, and they began to fail on that trip almost immediately. The metal connecting the top mounting hardware broke on one of the bags with very little stress on it. Possibly just a lemon but not something you want failing on you out in the woods. Mounting overall just felt a bit subpar as well, with lots of small pieces that could be lost, and lots of cheap feeling plastic that didn't inspire confidence. Bag material felt solid and water resistant.

Keeps all your gear clean and dry

Great panniers. Very versatile. I use them on front or back. The middle lockdown piece slides easily to where you need it after you loosen it with a finger turn. A full basket (not a cart) load of groceries fits easily in both bags. The panniers are just right... not too big and not too small.

I have not had these long, but first impressions are great. I used them on a front rack for gravel bikepacking. Sleeping bag, hat, and extra socks in one side, jacket and clothes and water filter in the other. I could have stuffed more, but I was trying to keep the weight even on each side. I could have ridden no hands they were so well balanced. I did have them pretty low on the front wheel of my Kona Sutra, but they were hardly noticed. They handled rough roads with ease. Once I arrived, a quick release of the lock and they were off. My only gripe is the "made in China" tag, but the utility and price are a big sell here. Can't wait to put some more miles these.

The instructions were not easy for me to understand. The pannier maker explained them. One of the clamps has come off. In general, though the panniers seem sturdy, waterproof and useful

These are like classic roll top panniers. They appear to be well made although time will tell. The small exterior zippered pocket is good for small items like a small cable lock you can access quickly. Not sure if they are waterproof though. Zipper looks water resistant. They were easy to set up for the Coho rack. The size is just right to carry items like my camping gear together and it keeps it clean and dry. They are also perfect for carrying food and snacks. I don’t have to take up space in my bag or strap them on top. There is still room on top of the Coho fender to strap additional items if necessary.

Great water proof bag for day trips ... multi-way becomes challenging as capacity is low. Reflectors should be larger. Pockets and key chain clips on the inside would be so useful! The Clío at the bottom becomes loose too often (one came off completely and the pannier got on to the wheel - luckily I was going slow).

My partner and I rode our bikes across the state of Arizona in May (approx. 550 miles). We initially weren't sure how the Burley bags would do on our back racks, but they held up great and carried the perfect amount of gear/food. We had to file the top of the clips down to prevent them from rubbing on our dry bags, but other than that the design was just about the best we could ask for.

Great little bags to snap on to the back of my Coho XC trailer. They hook on nicely and securely. The rolltop works great. It would be nice if they were just a little wider at the bottom to fit my yeti lunch bag. Otherwise, a great addition to the trailer and my other Burley waterproof bag.

I went grocery shopping with just the two Burley bags, but bought more than planned. I worried while leaving the store whether 30lbs. of stuff would all fit. It did, with room to spare, plus a 4ft. Kryptonite chain and a tool kit. No noise, strain or balance problems.
