Vincita Dutch-style Top Loading Skye Panniers Review

 

I am enamored with the budget-friendly Vincita Skye Panniers! I had wanted to replace worn, smaller panniers with something of equal volume, however what I got was double the size - and I couldn't be happier. 

Four hook and loop fasteners, secure the Dutch-style panniers to the rack with one at the bottom so the bag stays in place. When empty, the bag remains flat. There are additional hook and loop fasteners along the top edge for expanding, yet secure for additional groceries, or leave the top open for maximum storage. The side buckles can also stay open, but the straps are short enough to clear the spokes. There is a zipper pocket to store valuables or, in my case, for a cargo net for additional rack top volume. 

I like the minimalist design, low cost, and color selection. The panniers are backed in black material, so I had no qualms buying a colored version. They also come with a rain cover of which I have not yet tested. The roll top design itself can withstand a light shower. I purchased mine on Amazon.

Look at the volume! Wedge-shaped when extended, cargo tends
 to stay in place without a top closure.
