OrtliebBack-Roller Pannier Set(Return to Product Page)

We load of the panniers with beach stuff and groceries - very versatile.

I'm using this Ortlieb pannier set for commuting to work. The two bags give me plenty of room for my work clothes, shoes, and laptop. I'm very happy with the ease they are attached and removed from the rack. I live in Southern California, so I have yet to test the apparent water repellant capability. I was hesitant about the roll top closure, but after using it for a couple of weeks with different amounts of gear in the bag I think its a good design.

Only think missing for me would be a small pocket on the side for keys/phone.

Great commuter pannier! I use only one one most of time because it holds everything I carry day to day! I've gotten multiple compliments about it and it's extremely easy to handle. I have not tested it in heavy rain yet because I don't have water resistant biking clothes but definitely not a problem in light rain.

Nice bags that attach securely, have functional shoulder straps, keep the water out, and have a decent amount of capacity - enough for a short bike camping trip. A couple of negatives - one bag had a defective seam along the bottom of the inner pocket. I also wish there was some easily accessible small exterior pocket for items that you might want to access without unrolling the top. Finally, I have the blue bag, the material doesn't allow light through and looking into the bag against a dark background it can be really hard to see the contents. Lighter colors might have an advantage for interior visibility.

Cross-country touring.

This is the second set of Ortlieb panniers I have bought. The first set was about 12 or more years ago. They are still going strong, but I needed a set for a second bike and wanted a matching color. I wouldn't have bought any other panniers. These are excellent - totally waterproof, no extra pockets all over, you just dump your stuff and go. I have front and back panniers and at the supermarket I can fill a cart and still have room in the panniers, they are that big. A new thing since I bought the original ones is the slim pocket inside in case you have a magazine or papers you don't want crushed. They are easy to put on and take off. Love, love, love these panniers and how totally waterproof they are.

We cycled 2 weeks thru Austria and Germany. The bags had enough room for all our gear and a few beers and food for lunch.The quality is excellent .There are straps for over the shoulder and handles for easy transportation off the bike.

Buy these if you want a worry free ride.

We use these pannier for shopping commuting and exploring the Pacific NW on our bikes. This summer they were used in Washington, Oregon and BC on a bike trip by rod and ferries across the Puget Sound.

We are completely satisfied with the way they help out rain and dust. Great product!

I use this product mainly for tranportation to and from my office or the super market. Very convenient and easy to hook up on your bike. It is water proof, accomodates most the things needed for the day when I am on a bike trail with my family. An excelent way to bring your things with you. Good quality product and at the same time looks good on your bike. I like every thing about this product.

I decided on getting the back rollers so that It would be easier to haul the 30 pounds of dog food that I have to pick up every two weeks or so (We have a great dane). I realize that the bag of food does not quite fit in one, but I can easily use a garbage bag liner in the bags and separate the food into both bags. Then, conveniently and easily detach the bags and pour the food into her big container. These bags are great because they are super easy to clean, have a very vibrant color (so you can be seen), as well as a very easy roll top that is just shy of holding a 17 baking pan (the clip attaches but the bag does not roll shut). If you are looking for a pair of Panniers, this is a great product that can hold a lot of groceries, clothes, or whatever else you might need to haul along!
