• In my experience the vaude aqua light panniers are also super solid with 1 extra hook. Wanted a rack for a rando bag upfront and couldn't mount anything cages anymore on my fork as a result. The panniers sit a bit higher on the Specialized pizza rack, works better then lowriders for trails. Current setup is for a 2 month trip.

    Was reading up that, I like that it's reasonably light at 1040g for the pairs, which is basically almost the weight of a single Ortlieb pannier, the review are mixed thought.

    There's another one which is the Roswheel one, that managed an astounding 270g (540g for a pairs), can't find much review about it.

  • Those roswheel are amazingly light yes! I don't think they work well if overstuffed or filled with heavy items. But with some bungee cords they could probably be mounted securely enough for offroad touring. Their packability is pretty cool. I can imagine packing them in a framebag and taking them out to do some groceries before you hit camp.

    So far i like the vaude aqua front light panniers a lot. Compared to the ortlieb gravel panniers i think their shape and cinch ability works better on single track, especially up front. What issues come up in their reviews?
