Backcountry Pannier Kit (V2.5)

Our flagship panniers get a range of refinements in version 2.5. Built with more eco-friendly recycled materials and available in the new 10-Year High Desert color, updated Black, and the return of Woodland.

The 100% waterproof Backcountry Pannier Kit is our flagship product and is designed for transcontinental adventure touring, enduro-style riding, and camping from your bike.

Sold in pairs, the standard configuration of this kit includes two 30L pannier bags and two 5L Aux Pox auxiliary pockets (one on each bag), for 70L of total capacity. Four Aux Pox (80L) or No Aux Pox (60L) options are also available; see the variant button options above. 

With bomb-proof construction and heavy-duty materials, these bags can really take a beating. Our quick-mount wedge system makes it easy to take the panniers on/off the bike so you can store them in your tent or have them by the fire without wrestling with straps. Our new proprietary ‘Speed-Pin’ latch ensures that the mounting system is always engaged.

This is the system for long-distance travelers and people living off their bikes. Guides, instructors, and RTW riders: this system was designed for you.

Check out the new Backcountry Brush Guards, designed to provide additional protection from brush and extend the life of your bags.
