This is what other customers say:
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

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

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

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.
Please would GranvikSt. Back Pannier 22 - Panniers fit a mik hd rack on a specialised Vado bike
Just received panniers and they don’t fit my rack. Are the mountain hooks included for adapting it to fit?
Is it possible to buy replacement anchoring clips. They fell off on first outing
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.
