Almost perfect5
I've been using a pannier I bought at REI years ago. It's still working fine, but I wanted a double-pack, so I ordered this. As other reviewers wrote, it's excellent in every way except for one little design issue. There's nothing to keep it from jumping off the rack when you ride over a bump. The REI one I've been using has a mechanism that holds it from the underside of the rack, along with two clips on the top. It basically pinches the pannier on the rack sidebar. This one has no such mechanism. I just used a bunch of nylon wire-ties to hold it in place. I used two per clip, crossing over in X shape (8 total for the two panniers). Just for good measure, I put some more on the sides, too. I don't ever plan on taking them off, but if you need to take them on and off, you'll need to be a bit more clever. Otherwise, it's an excellent pannier pair with insane amount of room and great construction. 3M reflective bands are nice touches, too.

Okay, so the only suggestion I have is make sure these bags are fastened securely and if not don't attempt to re-seat the bag without stopping should it come loose during travel (just use common sense and you'll be fine). That being said, my brand new right pannier just went through my rear wheel at about 20mph and came out with no tears, rips or really any problems. There are a couple of small black scuff marks on the reflector but that's it.
I on the other hand have a bruised back, concussion and countless sore points on my body but this review is on the panniers.
The fact that these are 2 seperate bags make the value virtually unbeatable. My first impression of the material was, "Wow, I didn't expect it to be this heavy-duty." When the bag went through my wheel, I really couldn't believe how well it held up. Did I mention that the bag was full, no contents inside were damaged or really even disturbed but my rim is bent beyond belief and must be replaced.
I highly recommend these bags due to the quality and value!

Sunlite Traveler 2 bicycle pannier bags5
I LOVE these bags! The quality is good, the price was right, and they hold an amazing amount of stuff! I have yet to be able to fill both of them up! I especially like the ease with which they are attached & removed from my bike's mountain rack, and also the fact that even with both bags mounted on the rack, the entire rack is still usable for things such as coolers, extra packs, etc. A friend who already has a pannier for her bike saw mine & liked them better, and wants to get the same kind - (we both like the fold-over top covers that keep things dry). The fact that the bags are separate & not attached to each other is great, too - that way I can lend one bag to a friend when we're riding together. The bags arrived within a few days - so I was able to use them that very weekend. My ONLY regret is that I didn't buy these bags many years ago! I've been needing panniers for a long time, and these are EXACTLY what I needed. I definitely give them TWO THUMBS UP!
