Reviews over the

Thule Shield Pannier

Very satisfied with the bags, the delivery and the price. Well done Mantel!

Hiking bags

The bags are high-quality and sturdy - just like Thule. The yellow colour is appealing and has a safety factor that should not be underestimated - you will be seen! Unfortunately, the bags don't have any additional compartments on the outside, so you always have to open them to get to your wallet or keys, for example. Improvements could be made here. They are quick to attach and easy to remove. The size is excellent if you don't need to take all your equipment with you and are only going on a day trip!

good investment

Pros & Cons

I have nothing negative to say, I got 100% of what I wanted.

Fast and customer-friendly.

Have been using the bags for over a month now. The bags look very nice. Not only do they look sturdy, they are. Use them for commuting. My colleagues even thought I paid at least €150 for them. Counting outside Mantel, in other words!

Pros & Cons

Easy to use and good quality

Pros & Cons

Nice bags (13-litre set in blue) that fit most carriers. I have them hanging from a Racktime carrier, but for example on a Thule Pack 'n Pedal carrier they also fit. Adjust once and then attaching goes smoothly. Removing them is even quicker by pulling firmly on the "handles". Then the clamps are released. On a bumpy dirt track, the bags stayed on well, so I don't expect them to come off easily. Inside, there are a few compartments for flat items, otherwise it is one big "compartment". This does make the bag relatively spacious (compartments are handy, but also take up space). The roll/click closure works well, although the material of the bag gets a bit stiff in the cold of late (around freezing). This will be a lot smoother in summer, making rolling easier too. But all waterproof plastic bags have this stiffening in the cold. It is a nice set, but for the normal price there is stiff competition from the likes of Ortlieb and Vaude. As I don't know those from personal experience, I can't make a comparison with them.

Pros & Cons

For me, Thule is at the forefront in terms of design, workmanship and material

So far I've only used these panniers on relatively short trips, but I'm extremely pleased with their quality. They fit snugly, are easy to put on and take off the luggage rack, and are bright and pretty. I'm confident I can take them with me on cycling trips lasting several months. It's the lowest price I've found on the market and delivery was very quick.

Bags worked well on a bike tour with a lot of luggage.
