Most on- or off-road cycling adventurers, especially those who value versatility and rugged durability consider Mountain Panniers de rigueur equipment. Each top-loading main compartment is designed with a sturdy double-layered floor and features a 10" telescoping storm sleeve with a zip-off floating hood. The hoods have been redesigned with zippered side openings for easier accessibility and feature bungees across the top to hold jackets, sleeping pads, etc. Dual horizontal compression straps encircle each pannier and will accept both the Pannier Pocket or Backpack Pocket, allowing a wide range of gear to be contained, compressed, and controlled.
