Designed for your next exciting touring trip. The top and side zippered pockets offer quick access to small essentials, while the front mesh pocket is perfect for storing a wet jacket or clothes you want to take off during your ride. The large YKK zipper on the main compartment runs down the front, opening fully like a suitcase for easy access and great functionality. A lightweight aluminum frame and a rigid bottom inside the main compartment prevent the bag from sagging. These panniers are hand - sewn in Canada using North American fabrics and components.

Using these Arkel T - 42 Classic Touring Panniers is easy. For small items like keys or snacks, use the top and side zippered pockets. Just unzip and grab what you need quickly. If your jacket gets wet, put it in the front mesh pocket. To access the main compartment, unzip the large YKK zipper that goes all the way down the front, and it will open up like a suitcase. When packing, try to distribute the weight evenly to prevent the bag from sagging. As for maintenance, keep the panniers clean by wiping them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prevent damage. Also, check the zippers regularly to make sure they are working smoothly.
