I have this set of panniers, they're simple and very well built. The waterproofing is great, in addition to the waxed canvas mine are also lined with another rubber coated fabric. The Arkel attachments are bombproof.
My one complaint is with the zippered top section. I like to put small items in the flap pocket, wallet, keys, phone etc. Unfortunately the zipper is on the outer edge (away from the bike), and if the pannier isn't very full the top section flaps over and puts the zipper at the bottom of the pocket. On more than one occasion I've gone to open the pocket only to have everything pour out onto the ground. I've been meaning to email Swift to see if I could send mine back to have the flap turned around so the zipper opens at the top of the pocket rather than the bottom. -Jay Fichialos On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 11:14 AM, Ray <r.sh...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > It was a recent post by another list member that coaxed me over to > Swift Industries where I found the Mini- panniers in waxed canvas.
