San Util Mini Pannier
Our Mini Panniers are designed for riders who want the stability of a pannier system without the bulk. Purpose-built for singletrack touring, chunky gravel, and winter missions, the Minis are compact, tough, and fully dialed for off-road exploration.
Features
-
Waterproof ULTRA400X (the ULTRA option is the only seam taped fabric option)
-
Voile Strap Mounting: A secure and field-serviceable attachment method that hugs the rack, won’t rattle loose, and works in all conditions.
-
External ULTRA Stretch Pockets: Perfect for all those "undesirable" items. Remember the last time your chain lube or sunscreen exploded in your frame bag... yeah us too.
-
Built for the OMM Divide, Tumbleweed T-Rack, Mica Rat Tail and most small/medium racks
-
Ideal for minimalist trips, singletrack ripping and balanced bikepacking setups
Capacity: Mini but mighty — just enough room for the gear you truly need without encouraging overpacking in other words, about 4-7L of space.

Whether embarking on singletrack, fire road, or pavement tour, ultralight panniers are a great way to stuff your stuff into a secure and flap-free experience. Unlike vintage panniers, the San Util Mini and Light Weight panniers have no plastic mounting hardware to break, no bungee attachment to stretch out, and, yet, no internal stiffening armature or boards. They are super minimal and super lightweight at the expense of being only water-resistant.
John Watson - The Radavist
Most racks add extra weight to the back end of your bike, which is why I appreciate the minimal, super-lightweight approach bag makers like San Util are taking. If your idea of bikepacking involves singletrack, rugged trails, or back-to-back days of gravel or forest service roads, then the benefits of a stripped-back mini pannier like San Util’s Mini Panniers outweigh the drawbacks. I’ve now tested both the Mountain Laurel Designs Poco Panniers and the Revelate Designs Nano Panniers, and I’d slot the San Util panniers into the same best-of-the-best category, if there was one.

Currently on a tour of Brittany with these fellas - working great. Durston x-dome 1+ fits great on one side,sleeping bag on rack top, clothing and stuff other side. No problem on rougher stuff, not hard to pull off bike (just watch for dropping voile strap - I've almost walked away without one - next trip I'm packing spares).
I haven’t gone on a trip yet but these bags are beautifully made and pack a big punch in a little package. Loooking forward to stuffing them and hitting the trail.
These bags are fantastic. As with other products from San Util, you can expect great craftsmanship and thoughtful construction. The stitching and seams are top notch, the bright orange interior makes it easy to see what’s inside, and attaching and packing the bags couldn’t be easier. Mine are mounted on an Old Man Mountain Elkhorn rack.
Don’t worry about them being too small! They fit just the right amount of gear. I’ve got a Durston X-Dome 1+ (body, fly, and groundsheet) on one side, and a 32° down sleeping bag plus a full-size Big Agnes sleeping pad on the other.
On dry trips, I’ll stuff the sleeping bag directly into the pannier. If there’s a chance of rain, I pack it into a 5L Sea to Summit dry bag that slides right in.
Support small brands. Ride bikes. Have fun.
These bags are perfect for my commuter/weekender rig. Small enough to transport on the train, big enough to hold outer layers, snacks, and others odds and ends. Bags remain accessible with the top of my rack occupied which is a plus. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ORDER 2 (I hit devils lettuce before my order, my bad)
The V2 mini panniers check all of the boxes…lightweight, waterproof, svelte, well thought out and rattle free. I especially appreciate the exterior mesh pockets for quick access items. After installing I was slightly concerned about they would be too small, but the really hold more than one might think. Super happy with the purchase.
Really happy with these! Using them on a Pass and Stow front rack. Solid construction and connection points that don't flop, with nothing to really break. Love the stretch pocket in the front for keeping dirty things separate - trowel, drivetrain brush/rag/putty knife, chain lube. These will last a very long time.
