These panniers will hold a LOT of gear
Many bike riders have filled other brand panniers with higher rated capacity, and then transfered everything to Ortlieb panniers - meaning that you may not be able to trust rated capacity, or it could be that panniers with lots of pockets are inefficient to fill -- so many corners. All we know for sure is that you have trouble imagining that you will need larger panniers than Ortlieb panniers, even for the longest tours, especially if you plan on using a handlebar bag and a drybag bedroll pack like the Ortlieb Rack Pack.
Ortlieb Classic panniers are made from a very durable polyester fabric with an inner, highly durable, thermoplastic waterproof coating
Ortlieb Back Roller Classic panniers may even keep your gear dry during stream crossings when properly closed (the level of waterproofing depends on how many times you roll the top)
Your best choice for off-road mountain bike tours
If you are touring in the tropics in the rainy season, these are the panniers you want!
Ortlieb rear panniers can also function as large capacity front panniers for Tandem tourists, where two riders must carry their gear on one bicycle
All seams are high frequency welded, providing excellent waterproofing along with narrow manufacturing tolerances
You will be impressed by the high quality workmanship!
Ortlieb Back Roller Classic panniers are easy to clean, and have a highly reflective 3M Scotchlite patch on the front and back of each pack.
If Ortlieb Packer Plus series panniers are simply out of your budget, then the Ortlieb Classic series panniers are the way to go
You can spend less, and still have top quality panniers that will stand up to many years of serious bicycle touring!
The Classic series utilizes the QL1 Quick Lock mounting system with adaptable hooks, that will fit 8mm, 10mm and 16mm top rails
The Quick Lock hooks open automatically by pulling up on the pannier handles
Adjustable hooks at the base of the panniers keep the bottom mounted securely to the side of the rack
The sliding top hooks can be repositioned to allow precise placement on the rack top rails
This can also help move the panniers toward the back of your rear rack, providing better heel clearance while riding.
