Mini Pannier - Stocked

The mini-pans attached to my OEM rack perfectly, I used Voile straps instead of the provided Velcro straps to attach the bottom of the bags to the rack, but the provided Velcro straps would have worked fine as well.I used a couple of Yeti dry bags (3 & 1L) and a 3L ultralight dry bag to stow all my gear for the capricious spring weather here in NE PA, so I am prepared for anything on a long day’s bike ride. With all this, the bags tighten down to the same level as my rack, so it’s still easy to swing my leg over for mount and dismount (I used a couple of O-rings to cinch down the ends of the compression straps so they wouldn’t flap in the wind) Once riding, I don’t even know the bags are there—the ultimate compliment for any piece of bike gear! The bags are well made, solid without being too stiff and look great! If I ever graduate to multi-day touring, I will definitely be looking to SanUtil for outfitting.

Enjoying these panniers for errands and storing trail building tools. Just the right size and well made!

Got one to replace a dry bag i was using instead of a pannier.
As soon as it arrived i knew i needed another one. Well done on crafting a terrific piece of gear using excellent materials and a simple design..
Thanks

Got a pair of stocked mini panniers and just finished the first overnight gravel shakedown ride. Between myself and buddy I had the panniers and a San Util frame bag and he used a San Util hip belt/bag. I currently ride the panniers on a Burley moose rack (because, kids) behind a Surly Krampus and, while nothing about my actual bike setup is light, the panniers were basically flawless over a couple of days of muddy gravel. The volumetric size and shape are well thought out and I was able to get everything I need for a 3-4 ride in decent weather in them, the frame bag, and my basket without fork bags. The panniers are tough, easy to open at stops for access, and the closures work well. Simple attachment design with voile straps (included is a big +). Only issue with the straps was they would occasionally flip out of the tuck into the spokes and give me the old-school feeling of riding with a card on the wheel. No rattle, no shifting, which surprised me. They are exactly wide enough for a regular sized Ipad to slide into. If it's helpful, I was able to carry a tent, sleeping pad, cook kit, and houdini in one and a bag of clothes, ipad, 3" tube, and shit kit in the other. Probably had a little room for a bit more, but that was probably 6L once packed. Big fan of San Util waxed canvas and very pleased with the purchase.
