No, the mouths are mere open rectangles and the bags' sides continue straight from the bottom -- no "lid". To close, you flatten, then roll the tops inward where a male clip on the outside panel can fit into a female on the inside panel. Very simple and effective and, I daresay, waterproof.
The very nice thing about these bags, for my purposes, is that they are wholly unstructured -- you can simply drop a loaded, paper grocery sack into the bag, then roll the top closed. Also, the grab handles operate the clip releases so that removing is simply a matter of pulling up on the handle, and the bags have well placed and well designed shoulder straps. Again, it was very easy to convey the combined 35 lb from the cashier to the bike, and from the bike to the house, though my normal practice is to use cloth bags and leave the panniers on the bike. The Banjos were convenient, but these are several steps better in design, let along quality where they are far better. I may be selling the Banjos. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
