M-Wave Rear pannier bag, single or incl. rain cover

The first one I received had a defect (it happens) but Amazon immediately sent a replacement - excellent service as always!The bags are a bit bulky with the plastic inserts but if you want you can leave those out to reduce volume & weight when empty. Personally, I don't mind, it was just a matter of getting used to it as I'd never had a pannier bag before.I'm very happy with it, fits all the groceries so I don't have to drive the car to the supermarket any more! (ok, if you're shopping for a family of 5 you'll still need the car - it's a 30-litre bag not a trunk!)Seems to be sturdy and well made, very easy to put on or take off the bike, easy to open/close and at a cheap price, what else do you need?Only thing that remains to be seen is how long it will last, although I know people who have had one for a couple of years and apart from a slight discoloration of the material (black slowly fading to grey - but I do live in a very sunny country and the sun will do that to most materials) I haven't heard any complaints.

Pros: Well made with heavy duty 600 denier nylon. Reinforced sides and top carrier. Designed for light to medium carrying. Reflective strips. Quick snap-fit plastic buckles all round. Absolute bargain for the price.Cons: A bit of a rigmarole fitting the four plastic side inserts. If using a top box then they will get in the way. Won't last forever.I've only just received these but first impression is very positive. They are designed for carrying light-ish loads such as some shopping or a change of clothes and a few files for the office. They are not meant as touring panniers, you will need to spend a lot more money on a more robust substantial set. That said, they are very well made for the price.The panniers come flat packed in a massive box! The only downside is fitting the four plastic side strips but this is remedied by taking the edges off the strips and rounding the corners by chamfering the edges, I used a fine metal file but I think emery paper or a nail file would suffice. This will stop you cutting your knuckles and once done the strips slip in far easier and don't get caught on the seams. Don't skip this tip as many people have torn the seams by trying to force them in. I think it will also prolong the life of the panniers as the edges cut into the material where the stress points are.The strips have to be slid into two inside pockets, one at the top and one at the bottom which hold them in place. Another tip before fitting is to bend and flex the strips - especially the ends of the strip. Bend and flex the strip about a third of the way down its length so that it has a slight bend already in place before fitting. Then, bend and flex the two ends into a slight arch shape a long the width, the edges should point downwards. This will effectively shorten the width so you do not have to cut the strips down. When fitting the strips make sure they fit behind the front seams as they are a very tight fit, they can easily catch and this is the reason why people are forcing them in and ripping the seams.I started by siding the first strip into the bottom pocket (remember to arch the both ends) make sure you have slid the strip all the way in, take your time and don't force it, once in flatten it out slightly and make sure it fits behind the front seam. Then fit the strip into the top pocket in the same way. Next, make sure that the strip is behind the front seam all the way along its length and flatten it out completely, check it is still fitted properly in both pockets. Repeat for the other three strips and voilà, two nice looking and fairly large (office/shopping) panniers!They are attached to the rack by three snap-fit plastic buckles and straps, the type found on rucksacks, one at each side and one at the top. The bags are also closed using the same type of buckle. You can carry the two panniers using the top plastic covered strap and I think they would easily fit in a shopping trolley or find some way of securing them with a wire/chain lock, but then some idiot would probably cut them off! Don't know how waterproof they are but I think they would be okay for what they where designed for as they are made from heavy duty 600 denier nylon.The internal usable space is approximately 30x33x15.5cm (12x13x6").Hope this helps, I looked at lots of panniers before choosing these, you won't be disappointed.UPDATE:I've been using these panniers for a couple of months now and so far they've been okay, no splits yet, still good value. I use them mainly for shopping, but not everyday, but I've had some really full loads. As I said previously, these are meant for light use a round town and not for a touring holiday. Having said that, I decided to upgrade and get a pair of Ortlieb Back Roller Plus panniers, expensive, but top quality. The reasons being, my bike is now my main form of transport; I also bought a lockable M-Wave Bicycle Rear Carrier Top Box from Amazon and I didn't know how it attached to the pannier - as usual there is never enough information or pictures on Amazon! The problem is, or rather was, the box attaches to a pannier rack using two threaded bars which you tighten up internally, which then also locks the panniers in position, good for security but a pain if you want to just use the box on it own. So, be aware of how these panniers attach if you decide to use a top box as well; the Ortlieb panniers attach on the side of the rack and come off with one pull of a strap, nice.I also tried the Mainstream SL 55 classic PLUS panniers from Amazon but they were a waste of time because of the poor quality fixings. I had to send them back to Germany for a refund!

My mum bought these around 1 1/2 years ago and was very pleased, they are very well mad and durable and hold plenty of things, like shopping, gym gear or your helmet etc.These panniers are relatively easy to fit to the rear bike rack but do take some time to get used to removing and refitting them, which can also be a little time consuming, after you finish shopping etc.They are now starting to show some wear and rare but that is to be expected,They are great value for money and have lasted a while and continue to work great!

As I am not a youngster, this has been a wonderful addition to my electric bike. Now I can carry all my shopping home easily, uphill too, without breaking my back or stretching my arms and without using petrol or worrying about parking - so no guilty carbon footprint! Keeps everything dry, and the firm base gives support.They are shaped such that you don't kick them whilst pedalling. Fitting the base into the internal sleeves of the panniers took a little ingenuity and strength, but once in, they are great and give good support, so that anything which needs to be carried and kept flat survives beautifully.

Era un regalo para el hijo.Muy cómodo de poner y quitar.Tela resistenteEl hijo está súper contento y yo más

wenn die Reise nur 1 Woche dauert.Das Material ist gut und innen die Stützen musste ich ein wenig kürzen damit sie die Tasche aufspannen. Bin jetzt mehrfach damit unterwegs gewesen. Und es war absolut ausreichend. Sachen blieben trocken im Regen mit und Ohne Regenabdeckung

Por ahora va muy bien. Tenía una que se me rompió enseguida pero esta parece de mejor calidad y viene reforzada por dentro. Lo único que le falta son tiras arriba para engancharla por delante y por detrás al portaequipaje

Ich hatte die Taschen vorher als Single Variante und bin nun umgestiegen. Ca 2 bis 3 Jahre@Gewicht: Leichter als die Singlevariante@Qualität: Gut@Aussehen: Gut mit Reflextoren, somit leichter zu sehen in der NachtBin zu Frieden! Preis: 22 Euro für Schwarz/grün

Ganska klen plast kring handtaget som slits snabbt när väskan ska fästas på pakethållaren. Och ganska jobbiga spännen att öppna och stänga. Dessutom relativt tung väska. Uppfyller inte mina förväntningar.
