Large capacity panniers for touring wanted or advice please

[The History Man]

As above. For solo cycle camping. I need a pair of large ones as I don't travel light. I'm not looking at ortleib money, just something durable and large enough for the job. I have a rack and bike, tent to choose from but pics can be deceptive on the pannier size on eBay. The one I got is a bit small :facepalm:



If you have any recommendations or offers?

Thanks THM.

how much You are ready to spend?
how much liters should it handle (pair of bags)? less than 30L or 30-40 L?

 

[The History Man]

30-40 litres and under £50

 

[Aleksandr aka Sancho]

looks like my offer is a bit over that.
new pair of ORTLIEB F430 Sport-Packer Classic blue 30L total = 70 GBP shipped

 

[The History Man]

Thanks for the offer though. If these are pants I might be in touch.

Nope, as always, these Ortliebs are separate bags.

Other option I just found, bit cheaper. IBERA IB-BA9 = 55 GBP

Length 30 cm (11.8")
Width 15 cm (5.9")
Depth 40 cm (15.7")
Capacity 30 L (1831 ci)
Weight 1.85 kg (4 lbs)

Go on, spend a bit more. Get high end ones secondhand. You'll get your money back if touring isn't for you.

I like Carradice, presonally.

I should also say I've made my own. But then, I know exactly what I want.

20 mins to go. Worth it?

 

[barry2017]

I haven't owned those.

The Ortleibs you've been offered are good.

Personally, I would find a pair of these:

Do they come with a valet to lay out your clothes?

Will try out the cheapo ones first.
