• so, I've found thule touring panniers for a price close to ortlieb back roller plus.
    I like the look of them - especially the yellow is very expedition like.
    But a bit put off by the weight. Any reason to choose one over the other?
    Will be used mostly daily for commuting and shopping so Compression straps are a big plus.

  • I was just looking at Thule panniers - do you know if they come with a lower clip?

    The thule site shows they use magnets to attach at the bottom of the pannier. Not sure I'm into this :/

    Think I'm about to buy some Ortleib plus Front panniers, unless someone pops up in the next day saying those there blackburn ones are worth the expense, and the hassle of finding them.

    Arkel Orca panniers also look super nice, but a bit more spendy than Ortleib

  • I went with ortlieb in the end. because of that magnet thing. It just seemed a bit too complicated compared, and you'd need to leave the magnet clamp on the rack permanently which I'm not interested in as the panniers are for occasional use. I bought some webbing though and hoping to fab up some compression straps as I'm tired of the flappyness of empty orliebs...
