Not much beats these panniers.

Really, that's all that needs to be said. Easy to use, keeps things dry & also looks awesome!

I bought these bags to use primarily for commuting to work and they have already proven their worth - easy to attach and detach from the rack, easy to adjust position on rack (so your heels don't hit). The bags are well made and the waterproofing is so necessary. Looking forward to taking these bags camping!

This is the standard for panniers, so far as I'm concerned. Glad to see BikeTires Direct had them on sale.

Found myself commuting in a downpour just after purchasing these bags. Not a drop of water ended up inside. I also appreciate how easy they go on and off the rack. They are expensive, but BTD had them on sale.

Arrived exactly as planned. Used this product for multi day trip. easily fitted what I wanted. Was less of a hassle than I though to gain access throughout the day. Never moved from installed location. Have not had yet the opportunity to try in heavy rain but I am confident ! Since some colleagues bought the same !

Really great, straightforward and versatile bags. Should work on most racks, comes with adjustable sizing if your rack is more thick or thin metal. Love not wearing a back pack or messenger bag on longer non-commutes, planning some future camping rides.

I use these to commute to work. They are well designed and work well. Exactly what is expected from Ortlieb. I bought these on sale for less than what a backpack would have cost.

Im able to fit enough clothes and personal supplies for 7 days between the two of these. They are easy to put on the bike and to take off to carry with you. Very happy with this purchase.

These panniers may be a bit expensive but they're built rock solid and will last for many years. Buy them and all your wildest touring dreams will come true! Seriously though they're the best hands down.

Top notch panniers as advertised!

I got these panniers to hold my backpack and work wear. It is very hot in the summer and a backpack leaves your back very sweaty. Theses bags hold everything you could need for commuting or shopping.

Great price, plus the reviews really sold me on me purchasing them.

Rating or reviewing Ortlieb Back Roller Bags is a bit redundant. Truly my favorite bag...and really, its the one bag in cycling that is a no brainer.. want a god bag, buy Ortlieb.

Love these bags. So easy to swap between our bikes. They hold A LOT. The reflective patch is pretty bright as well (I can see my spouse from a few hundred meters away at night with a mediocre light)
