I use these to commute to work and for the money they are an absolute bargain. These sit well on my frame and secure easily and quickly with the clips. Loads of space and have a laptop sleeve and a pocket for small items inside. Totally waterproof, in the my first week of owning they have survived 2 heavy downpours in Scottish Autumn rain and all gear inside including work laptop etc bone dry. Recommended

Easy to carry lots of shopping on my bike. I tend to leave them attached most of the time and put shopping bags in them, as they're slightly awkward to carry around.

We purchase 4 pairs of Stoic panniers for an England to Switzerland bike tour. They held help really well, but some things we noted:
1. These are not has heavy weight as say the Ortliebs. The fabric is lighter so deserves to be treated as such. We had one pannier come off the rack at over 35km an hour, it make two small holes which were easily repaired. I don't think the holes would have happened with Ortliebs.
2. We had a very minor low speed nose to tail which broke one of the pannier clips. I've looked at all the main brands and I suspect they would have broken too. We need replacements. Are these available?
3. The top slider's locking tab is prone to falling out. We had this happen a couple of times, fortunately we found the first one, but not the second. See image. Can we get replacements?
4. The panniers come with tube adapters, but no instructions to point this out. The adapters are deep inside the inner pocket so we didn't find them until day 22. They make a big difference to how much the pannier moves about. See image. Worth adding instructions for these.
5. One of the panniers has a manufacturing error. The bottom slide bar is riveted on at a different offset to the other panniers (it sits almost a bar width higher.) See image. We would like this replaced.
All this said, they are really good value and we'd purchase them again

Hi Phil,
These will suit pannier racks with 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm tube diameters.
Hi Chris,
Thes panniers have a 20 litre volume. Einzelpack for a single pannier and Dopplepack for a pair.
Are these '22' litre capacity per bag?
Please can you tell me the distance between the rack clamps and the bottom clip. Also, I would like to know the actual height of the rack clips. I want to calculate whether these panniers would fit on an MIK profile rack with a with a Trunk bag on top.
Many thanks
Paul
Hi Paul,
Unfortunately , we're unable to get those measurements for you at this time. Sorry.
I did however, check the MIK website and their list of compatible accessory suppliers. Ortlieb and Vaude are the ones that caught my eye because the Stoic panniers are based on the same / similar design and fitment. Basically, provided your rack has tube diameters of no more than 12mm these panniers will work.
Hi Lily,
Any pannier rack will suit provided it's no bigger than 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm tube diameter.
Please would GranvikSt. Back Pannier 22 - Panniers fit a mik hd rack on a specialised Vado bike
Hi Kevin,
Any pannier rack will suit provided it's no bigger than 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm tube diameter.
i.e., how big is the compartment for laptops
Hi Andrew,
The laptop compartment will suit easily up to a 15 " laptop.
Just received panniers and they don’t fit my rack. Are the mountain hooks included for adapting it to fit?
Hi Helen,
no, the panniers just come with one standard hook, I´m very sorry. If they don´t fit your rack, I fear there is only the option of retruning them, I'm really sorry.
Kind regards,
Marco
Is it possible to buy replacement anchoring clips. They fell off on first outing
Hi Scott, Can you please contact our warranty team via the following link?

Thank you.
Hi Sam , Stoic do not state any information when it comes to the max weight but I would estimate a load of 5-9kg would be the max.
Are you able to confirm which bike rack may be compatible with the Stoic Pannier?
Hi Kiran, Any pannier rack will suit provided it's no bigger than 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm tube diameter.
Will be doing winter cycling so definitely need to know if it keeps rain out
Hi John, These are very definitely waterproof! Just don't forget to close them when it's raining!
Hi Andrea, £41 is for the Einzelpack / Single bag and £75.16 for Dopplepack / Pair.
Hi Benjamin, Sorry but no such information is offered by the manufacture.
Hi Michele, This is a pair of 20 litre bags
I'd like to know this too - the answer is ambiguous. Does this mean each bag is 10L adding up to 20L for the pair, or is each bag 20L?
Each pannier is 20 litres giving you a total capacity of 40 litres
Hi Cecilia, The price here is for the pair!

I bought these panniers to go on my new e bike and they look well on it. A good fitting system and plenty of colour choices. Ample room and great inside compartment. Would recommend these. Great price in the sale.

Updating after 2 years still going strong, confirming the panniers are also fully compatible with Ortlieb quick rack light.
