Title: Pannier advice
Post by: Beardy on 21 May, 2021, 10:04:44 pm: I’m not exactly sure where to put this, but here seems the best fit.

One for the more aesthetically minded I think. It’s a request from Ms Beardy the younger. (Mo). She wants a pannier for her new velo that needs to be practical, pretty and can be worn as a backpack. Having spoken to her, practical can be read as robust, waterproof etc, pretty can probably be read as pink, but variations on that are ok. Not red apparently.

Obviously I can look at the usual suspects but if anyone knows of any esoteric brands or has something in the shed somewhere I’m all ears. :D

They ship to me just fine. Let me know if you want anything forwarded...

They look brilliant - and not just in the colour sense. Absolutely exactly what I need, and I didn’t even know it until now...

Some of the other options listed on Cyclechic look pretty good too.
