Very nice spacious bicycle bag. For us, we needed to find a bag that could be used with a bike seat. Didn't seem to fit for a while, but eventually it did.

Dangerous. Buy other panniers instead

- Di, 14 February, 2023

I’ve owned many other Basil panniers over the years (my fave brand) so I thought they would be good quality and I know how to install them. However with these panniers the back corner bounces into my spokes when cycling, bringing me to a sudden stop. This has now caused injuries and put me in dangerous situations! I have now stopped using these panniers after less than a week. The panniers have now bent my mudguard. The panniers also knock on my heels when cycling so cannot be moved forwards to prevent the connection with my wheel. Tried to get a refund but told I couldn't do this as they were now used. So have wasted my money and still need new panniers.

Pros & Cons

Large
Look good
Waterproof
No drawstring at top
Panniers catch in your rear wheel
Panniers hit your heels when cycling

Big, but not too big.

- Nico, 12 January, 2023

Great panniers for weekly shopping: everything fits inside. Because of the seal at the top you have to open the bags with 2 hands. On an e-bike the size is no problem: you don't hit them with your shoes.

E-bike compatible
Large compartments
Water-repellent
Keeping it open a little tricky

Very nice, beautiful and spacious panniers

- Ed, 14 September, 2022

The panniers are easy to mount, look nice and can hold a lot of groceries. It does make it harder to park your bike in a rack among other bikes, and when the bags are full, the bike sometimes falls over. It's worth it, though, because the bags are super!

nice panniers at a good price

- Frederik, 13 May, 2022

These are very solid panniers! Attaching them with the straps takes some searching, but once attached they look very good on the bike. They are not reinforced to keep their shape at all times, but that does not bother me. Furthermore, they are very roomy and water-repellent. And all at a good price; I would buy them again!

Sturdy nice panniers at the right price

- Hans, 3 November, 2021

I was looking for spacious panniers to carry lots of groceries and, preferably, that can also withstand rain. These panniers from Basil fully meet that requirement. You can fit a lot in them and they are made of sturdy water-repellent material. Even when empty, they keep their shape nicely. The only downside I found was the fastening with the straps: the small buckles can damage the carrier and the bags can slide a bit forwards and backwards while riding. All in all, the latter turns out to be not too bad.

Large and waterproof panniers!

- Anne, 2 February, 2021

When unpacking the panniers, I immediately noticed that they were very different from the Basil panniers I already had! The material looks like oilcloth to me, very waterproof. At the top, the bags are sort of folded back, further reducing the chance of water seepage. The bags are quite deep, and can still be closed perfectly even when full to the top with the snap buckles. The fact that both the bottoms and the sides (at the wheel) are reinforced also makes me hopeful that they will keep their shape longer. I haven't included a separate attachment system (yet), but the fact that this is an option is definitely a plus. Mounting on carrier is smooth.

Pros & Cons

Large volume
Reinforced bottom and side
Waterproof fabric

Unfortunately, however nice the bag looks, so poor the quality. After 2 months, the stitching starts to come off at the top. I only use the bags for my handbag. Now I have to send them in and they are looking at repair options, this takes max 3 weeks. Had to buy replacement bags though, because I can't live without them. Pity and not recommended,
