I recently purchased the BV Bike Panniers 26L with Adjustable Hooks, and overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. These panniers have proven to be a reliable and spacious solution for carrying my belongings while cycling. They come with a few exceptional features that make them stand out from other bike panniers on the market.First and foremost, the build quality of these panniers is exceptional. The materials used are durable and weather-resistant, ensuring that my belongings remain dry and protected even during unexpected rain showers. The zippers are sturdy and show no signs of wear and tear, even after several months of regular use. I have peace of mind knowing that my items are securely stored within these panniers.One of the standout features of these panniers is the adjustable hooks. They make installation and removal a breeze, allowing me to attach and detach the panniers from my bicycle rack quickly and effortlessly. The hooks are sturdy and hold the panniers firmly in place, even on bumpy rides. The adjustable design also ensures compatibility with a wide range of bicycle racks, making them suitable for various types of bikes.The 26L capacity of these panniers is impressive. They provide ample space for storing a wide range of items, including groceries, a change of clothes, a laptop, or even camping gear. The internal compartments and pockets help keep things organized and easily accessible. I appreciate the thoughtful design that accommodates my storage needs while maintaining a sleek and compact appearance.While the BV Bike Panniers perform exceptionally well in most aspects, there is one minor drawback to mention. On rare occasions, the panniers can come into contact with the back wheel, especially when heavily loaded or on uneven terrain. Although this doesn't happen frequently and doesn't significantly affect the overall performance, it's worth considering when packing the panniers to avoid any potential issues.Despite this minor issue, the BV Bike Panniers 26L with Adjustable Hooks have become an essential accessory for my cycling adventures.

Tons of storage capacity if you plan ahead and pack well. I just did a self contained, 6 day bikepack trip across MO with these as my primary storage. My friend was very envious of my pannier since I didn't have to dump them to get what was stored in them. He had some very nice, high end bags, but had to dump them to get things from the bottom. By the end of the trip he hated his bags and I loved these more and more. We had heavy rain a couple of days along the ride and these bad boys never leaked or got wet inside. I was very happy!Inside the panniers I was able to carry:Stove kit, sleeping pad, French press coffee maker (gotta have luxury item), 5 packs of Ramen, 12 instant coffee "tea bags", wet weather top and bottom, battery brick, phone electronics bag, tent stake bag, beanie, 4 pairs socks, two shirts, and a handful of loose snacks and whatnot.Truthfully, I could probably go 5 days out of these bags if I were to lose some of the items I took, especially the coffee pot, but I had to see what I could fit!On the daily usage, these bags are equally awesome. I like having four, separate places to stash things. It makes it easy to get in and out of, rather than unrolling a large, single, dry-bag style pannier. And for the low cost-these are fantastic.Durability over the trip was great. Nothing broke, had rub spots, or any other "cheap" style damage. Great bags.

Es bonita pero tiene poca capacidad. Además, las cremalleras parecen endebles, no sé si aguantarán mucho sin romperse.

Parfait pour le prix. Les sacoches sont souples car il n’y a pas de fonds. Cela permet de ne pas avoir trop de volume quand elles sont vides. Elles sont petites puisque l’espace est divisé entre la grande et la petite poche. Agréablement surprise au regard du prix. Rapport qualité prix satisfaisant.

This is a decent product, very high quality for the cost. That being said, it does not come with a rack or any type of support frame (I ordered to replace my current rack and add support for the panniers), and the only type of support included in this pannier is a soft plastic insert sewn into the rear of each side that will keep the pannier from bulging out into your tires if it is not overloaded. If you want the pannier to remain in shape you will have to get creative with some plastic or cardboard and make your own inserts, otherwise it will collapse like any empty bag.It has four nylon straps, two on each end, to attach the pannier to your rack. Additionally, it has a hook on the back of each side with metal attachment points to further secure the pannier to your ride. I have yet to test how secure this is under load, but so far it seems to do a decent job of holding the pannier to the rack. There is a nylon handle on the top of the pannier for carrying, but the overall feel of it is one I do not wish to test with any decent amount weight in the bags. The zipper slider is very tiny, something you would expect on a small coin purse, and does not have the feel of something that is part of an item intended to carry cargo; I would not try to force these zippers as they do not feel like they would take much punishment before they broke.There are four pockets, the two main pockets which are of a decent size, and the two secondary pockets which are about a third of the main pocket size. While you won't be carrying a massive amount of stuff in this pannier, you could easily fit two grocery bags worth of items in it.This pannier may be even more sturdy than I expect, I have no wish to push my luck and see how much it will take to break anything. What I state in this review is only my opinion based on look and feel, not actual trial and error.Overall, a very good buy for the price; just remember that you do get what you pay for. If you are only carrying small or light loads then this pannier is an excellent deal.

Nice bags. Look smart. But not waterproof (I knew that before I purchased them),best to put the things you carry inside plastic bags if you intend to ride you bike in the rain. Overall worth the money .

This is a good product at this price point.I went for this one as it was comparatively cheap, so I wasn't expecting super-duper quality. Having said that, it's well designed, solidly constructed and the material is about what you might expect. I don't think it's waterproof, nor does it claim to be. It fits very well on my rack, I like that it doesn't have a top section (so my rear lights mounted on the seat post are visible) and the inner sides are reasonably firm where they lie against the rack. The bungees (2) that are included are excellent quality, and I really don't see how the panniers could end up rubbing against the back wheel, as one commentator reported, as they seem very stable.It's still early days and I will report back if they turn out to be a bust, but so far I like them. They are about as large as I would like, fit very well to the rack (four top fasteners and the two on the side) and reasonably solid in construction. For the price I paid for them I think they are about right, and can recommend them.
