Anyone have any experience with these soft panniers?

I was thinking about doing some touring in the summer and found theses. They seem like good value and look reasonable on the bike. I know looks aren’t everything but I think the Ventura system is a bit too ugly for my tastes.

Anyone have any experience with the quality?

Cheers

These (http://www.bigbikebook.com/14328/OXFORD-PRODUCTS-SPORTS-PANNIERS.html?referrer=froogle) would be a better bet. I've had their previous version for a few years and they take a lot of stuff in them, especially when expanded. I've crash tested mine and they were OK.

:thumbsup: for the Oxford ones - they worked well for me too.

You can often find them going cheap on ebay... Like these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Oxford-Sport-Lifetime-luggage-Panniers-silver-MINT_W0QQitemZ320330224490QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Mo torcycle_Parts?hash=item320330224490&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)

Thanks! Most helpful! After the service, that will be my next "bikey" purchase.

Just bought a set of Tech7 panniers from Busters and they came with a free tail pack (or tank bag). All for just £39.99. I figured at that price I couldn't really go wrong.

They've just arrived today and they seem like pretty good quality with all the straps (just for you Mand), rain covers and storage bags that you'd expect with the more expensive brands.
