Carradice Super C Bicycle Touring Panniers

Mongolia, Northern Regions, Hovsgol - June 2010 (7)

Carradice panniers (in black) attached to bike

The Carradice Super C panniers are well-regarded as being long lasting and reliable. The pannier material is similar to an army kit bag; highly durable and quick to dry. The attachment mechanism is durable and simple. Over time this has worn and one of the clips has broken but they can be easily replaced.

The side pockets close only via a clip buckle which is not secure enough to stop things from falling out. I combined the panniers with Exped dry bags which kept all the gear inside dry whilst allowing the Carradice pannier to dry out naturally. Over time the exped dry bags have worn and have developed holes and are no longer waterproof.
