VAUDE Rear Pannier Bike Bag PLUS - Set of 2 - PVC-Free Tarpaulin Bike Panniers - Waterproof Pannier Bags with Front Pocket and 51 Litre Total Storage Volume

Habe auch diese Taschen in blau gekauft.Hatte vorher die von Ortlieb, muss gestehen die von Ortlieb waren mir lieber.Diese Tasche hat einfach zu viele Verschlüsse und Bänder da war's bei Ortlieb einfacher. Die Trageklipse für den Schultergurt sind zu Tisch an der Tasche angebracht. Wenn die Tasche voll gepackt ist ist der Schwerpunkt der Tasche genau bei den Trageklipse für den Schultergurt dadurch passiert es das die Tasche dazu neigt sich um die eigene Achse dreht. Das ist das größte Manko. Die Fahrradbefestigung ist bedingt gut da war Ortlieb einfacher, vergleicht es selbst, ihr werdet mir Recht geben. Die Außentasche ist gut ist aber gewöhnungsbedürftig, es fehlt eine Kunststoffleiste dort um die kleine Tasche besser einrollen zu können. Der Zurgurt ist zu kurz. 10 cm mehr sind nötig!!!

I've been looking for a decent set of panniers for a long time. It's always annoyed me how much they cost, but I have to say, I really think these panniers are worth the money. They're incredibly well built and and nearly incredibly well designed. It's as if everything has been thought of. I love how easy they are to lift on and off your bike, and how you can secure them onto your bike. They're really lightweight and incredibly strong. There are just 3 things that annoy me: 1. The shape... obviously when you load them up you want to put the heaviest things at the bottom. However, these taper so much that if your heaviest thing also happens to be your biggest thing, they're really difficult to load. I appreciate that there needs to be a certain amount of tapering so as to not to inhibit the rider, but it would be much better if they were more of a rhomboid shape and covering the rear wheel a bit more at the bottom. 2. The hard backing and the sharp connectors on the back of the bag... When carrying the bag using the shoulder strap, the hard backing of the bag and the attachments used to secure the bag to your bike, really dig into you, to the point of being painful. I appreciate that you can just turn the bag round and carry it with the opening nearest your body, but psychologically that annoys me for some reason. Every time I lift the bag off my bike to carry, I have to remind myself that I need to turn it round the other way. 3. The shoulder protector on the strap... It has such sharp corners that if you're only wearing a thin top or the plastic is sitting against bare skin, it really digs in and is incredibly painful. A simple thing like having rounded corners would make it much more comfortable to carry heavy loads. Normally I take star off for each of the things that annoys me, but these do seem to be good quality so that seemed a little unfair.

These panniers are awesome. I had the previous Vaude pannier model, without the additional pockets, for eight years before they finally gave up the ghost. They were amazing: compact, tough and 100% waterproof (I usually rinse them off in the shower after a wet ride - with not a single leak). The side clip finally cracked after eight years of hard use (including two international tours and regular large shopping trips), so I got these to replace them.This model is definitely superior. All of the clips have been updated, the design streamlined and they’ve even added an extra feature of padlock holes on the rack clips, to prevent theft. Still to work out which locks will fit the (rather small) holes, but that can wait for now.The additional pockets are a significant improvement over the single-bag model. My lights and cold weather gear neatly pack into the external pockets for easy access, leaving far more space for heavy loads to be spread across both panniers. About to take them on their first big shopping trip and I’m looking forward to being able to fit more fruit into all this extra space!They do have a few cons: the shoulder straps are still pretty basic and uncomfortable with heavy loads. That said, the clips have been improved so that the bag no longer has to be rolled and clipped on the sides for the shoulder-straps to be attached. This is a major bonus - and the straps do pack down very small, which is probably what they’re going for. Additionally, it took me a little bit to work out how this model was meant to be rolled; there were no pictures on the box that seemed to be possible. A simple roll at the top seems to work great, though. It wasn’t complicated in the end. This model still retains the problematic carry design, too. With the hook on one side and the plastic, they definitely need to be carried with their soft side towards the body, to prevent bruises. This doesn’t bother me much, though, because I rarely carry them when they’re full. Whenever possible, I wheel them to the bike in a trolley or keep them on the rack while filling them.The design has really been improved since the last model, though. My old panniers used to rattle a bit and make noise over bumps. These are entirely silent and they stay firm and in place even over light off-road and potholes. They're also pretty aesthetically pleasing, which is a small but not insignificant bonus. Add that to their existing product features and I don’t think I could face buying another kind of pannier.All in all, these are excellent panniers. with really useful model updates. Highly recommended!

Ich habe für meinen täglichen Arbeitsweg eine Satteltasche gesucht und wurde bei Vaude fündig.System zum montieren ist sehr einfach zu verstehen. Es lässt sich mit kleinen Schlössern wunderbar am Gepäckträger festmachen.Den Wocheneinkauf für zwei Personen schaffe ich damit auch sogar problemlos.Qualität der Taschen ist top, Preis Leistung genial. Kann ich absolut jedem Empfehlen und würde sie auch wieder kaufen.Bisher erkenne ich keine Abnutzungeserscheinungen nach über 6 Monaten täglicher Verwendung.

I've had these panniers for a year and used then initially on a 1,700 mile, 40 day tour from UK to southern Spain. They were perfectly waterproof. Then I used from again this year for a two-month tour of Scotland. Multiple problems occurred. The plastic hooks, and where they join the plastic backplate, that hold the panniers on to the rack are not strong enough for a full bag. The backplate near the hook now has an inch-long split. This in itself wouldn't let in water but I'd no idea how long the structure would survive. But then I noticed multiple holes appearing in the corners of the bags, which definitely let water in, rendering them useless. Stick to Ortlieb.
