The Best Bike Panniers (Review) in 2023 | Autance

Ibera’s Bicycle Bag PakRak All Weather Bike Panniers are a great option. Compatible with most carriers, all you have to do is adjust the hooks to the rear of your bike and away you go! And these panniers have been designed to limit side swinging thanks to their three-point interlock system.

Worried about your items in the rain? Although they aren’t waterproof, customers assert that when left in heavy rainfall, the water-resistant nylon and rain cover will protect them nicely. And when cycling at night, the reflective trim will brighter you up in the dark. It’s safety at a bargain; what more could we ask for?

BV’s plush panniers are excellent, thanks to their large zippered pockets,  reflective trim, and their sturdy carrier handle. Basically, the panniers are designed to make life on the road as convenient as can be. The angled pocketed design – as well as making sure the rider has pedal space – is ideal for storing your keys and wallet for easy access.

The four shelf straps and two bungee hooks are detachable and height adjustable to ensure your pannier is stable and secure. Plus, your riding experience will be made even smoother thanks to the rigid back panels that maintain structure while riding and for sliding off the bike rack easily.

Ortilieb’s aesthetic Back-Roller City Rear Pannier is for those who want to spice up their riding gear. The classical design of this Japanese-imported model is one that won’t go out of style anytime soon. Plus, the unusual bright-white color will certainly turn heads on the street. Yet what we find most irresistible about Ortilieb’s design is the QL1 mounting system that will keep the pannier snugly strapped on without exception.

This durable pannier is made from polyester fabric with a PVC coating, making it 100-percent waterproof. And if owning just one of these generous panniers is enough to make you squeal, Ortilieb included two for the price of one and sells its panniers as a pair. Once you experience life with a pair of these panniers, you won’t ever want to cycle without them.

Looking for an adventure? Roswheel’s 3 in 1 Multifunctional Touring Cam Pannier will stand by you through thick and thin. Manufactured from 1000D reinforced polyester with PU coating, the bag is water resistant, durable, and ready to hit the road running. It can hold up to a whopping 37L – about ten gallons of stuff – allowing you to store enough supplies for days on the road.

As well as the practical angled bag design allowing for enough pedaling space, the ergonomic handles have additionally been designed with their rider in mind, allowing them to be easily carried off road. They’ll also be safer on-road thanks to the reflective lining and logos lighting up the bicycle rear on dark routes.

It’s not often that you find a company that place such trust in their product that they offer a twelve-month warranty for quality-related issues. But Rhinowalk have designed their pannier to combat whatever adverse weather comes its way. Made from sturdy 1000D polyester material and coated with PVC on both sides, the pannier is anti-tear, wear resistant and heat resistant.

Some of our favorite features include the easy disassembly; the multi-layer layout so one can remain organized on tours; and the hierarchical pocket design that allows easy access. For commuters, the bag even has space for a 14-inch laptop! Worried that Rhinowalk talk the talk but won’t actually deliver? Buy it and find out for yourself – we promise you won’t be disappointed.

City-dwellers with no car are truly living the dream. Paying no road tax, no insurance, and beating your fellow commuters to work while getting fit at the same time is every city slicker’s dream – until you have to go grocery shopping.

Each pannier is able to hold one full sized grocery bag worth of shopping and can easily be stored away when not in use. Taking them on and off your bike to ease the load or switching to your commuter pannier is simple thanks to the steel hooks keeping everything secure and making for an easy on/off. And they’re yours for a steal.

Calling all commuters! Stop your pannier search now. The word often used to describe Ibera’s Bike Trunk Bag is ‘perfect’, and we aren’t all that surprised. Its large enough to hold what every commuter needs yet small enough not to limit your riding style. And if you need even more space, then the durable zippers are long enough to securely attach even more items on the top of the pannier.

Worried about your work items getting tossed about on the road? The pannier’s reinforced padding will protect valuables like laptops from getting bashed, even when in a crash. And swinging will be minimized thanks to the hard base keeping the pannier mobile.

Sold on the design but skeptical concerning the longevity of RosWheel’s pannier? There’s no need to be thanks to the innovative pulp technology that increases the pannier’s strength through heat and pressure. As a result, the high-density Retro canvas coated in waterproofing polyurethane coating is tear and abrasion resistant.

What we love the most about this model is that its user can easily take it into the store with them thanks to the long handles and wide shoulder strap. All your groceries will be protected inside the pannier by the cinch-down flap. Finally, the pannier folds in order to save space when not in use. If we were to list all its features we’d be here for days! Best to buy it for yourself and let the pannier do the talking.

Originally created in San Francisco, Timbuk2’s Tandem Pannier is as jet black as the Golden Gate Bridge is red. And it’s just as practical too. Timbuk2’s owner Rob Honeycutt’s former occupation as a bike messenger opened his eyes to the impracticalities of sustainable urban mobility and, by designing this functional product, aimed to get more cyclists out on the roads. And it’s working!

Made of 600D polyester and coated in PVC, the classic saddle bag pannier features a front zip pocket for loose items and an internal stretch pocket that can hold up to a 15-inch MacBook on daily commutes. Timbuk2’s removable shoulder strap, the water-resistant tarpaulin exterior, and the built-in magnets that clip together for to ‘de-pannierize’ the bag when off the road are all noteworthy features. To sum up, it’s an American-made pannier that wishes to honor its humble cycling roots.   

Last but certainly not least, TOURBON’s Shoulder Tote Bag is an accessory designed for all women cyclists out there. For any gals out there who want a bag that’s practical but looks good too, the durable, waterproof vegetable-tanned leather is ideal for any trip to the shops or any long grocery haul.

We particularly love the two sturdy hooks on the back of the pannier that attach to the rear seat without any difficulty. Don’t be put off by unreliable hooks that scratched your bike in the past; the metal clips are coated in plastic to avoid this problem entirely. Ladies gather round; with room for your 15-inch laptop, your lunch, and various bits and bobs, we’ve finally found a bag that doesn’t scream’ tragic-looking cycle bag’.
