<span itemprop="name">Easy to use bag that does what you need it to do</span>
<span itemprop="description">Bought this a few weeks ago to replace my side bag style pannier. I am so pleased I did as this is much easier to use once you have set up the initial alignment with your pannier rack. It holds items well with inner laptop and other smaller pockets, then simply roll the top and fasten with the loop then click it on to the rack which can be done one handed. Not messing around with individual clips. Oh and it's nice and bright with extra loops to attache lights.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Frustrated first time buyer</span>
<span itemprop="description">Great pannier, can't use it as the fixing hooks are too narrow for my pannier rack! I've tried finding bigger ones via bike shop. They hv altura hooks that fit, but not spare ones for me.
Now I'm told to return bag & get another one. Annoying palaver.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Excellent pannier bags</span>
<span itemprop="description">My previous Altura waterproof panniers had lasted around 10 years but had developed a couple of holes and become less waterproof during the last few years.
I looked at many alternative options, all of which offered water resistance and the size required, but the system for fitting and removing my old panniers was truly excellent so I splashed out on another two Altura panniers. Although possibly an eyesore, the light colour is visible inside which makes it far easier to find things inside the pannier - unlike my previous ones which presented a deep, dark hole.
The padded laptop pocket is useful and easily accommodates my 13" laptop in its case. Although the smaller pockets are also very useful, a tiny pocket on the outside for keys to a bike lock would have been appreciated but it's a minor point.
The shape sits well on the bike and with the tough material, the bags do not (yet) sag so everything does not sink to the bottom - I wanted panniers which would not end up widening the bike.
The carry handle is comfortable and there are hooks to attach a strap for carrying the bag on your shoulder. I use an old, padded shoulder strap from a laptop bag.
The reflective accents are, no doubt, useful. Some drivers manage not to see me, despite bright pink/purple hair, lights and a bright jacket so I thought anything I can do to further assault their senses might help.
The bag is closed by rolling over the top and securing with a strap which hooks into loops at the front. When new, the material of the panniers does not allow tight rolling, unless the pannier is sufficiently full, but maybe the material will become more flexible over time. When underfilled, the strap securing the rolled bag will be loose but I find that twisting the strap over a couple of times is adequate to solve the problem. For commuting to work, I find one bag easily accommodates a laptop, small bag, lunch, water and a change of clothes.
Having searched on many sites, Halfords offered the best price for these panniers with free delivery when ordering online.
I'd definitely recommend these panniers - spacious without being excessively large, excellent fitting system and I can actually find things inside.</span>
