As an owner, these are both great and large panniers
By Trevor J. Laile
If you want a small bag of some kind to clip to your rear rack the varity out there is endless. If you want anything larger, the options turn quite poor. I work in a city in Japan so it is safe for me to bike every day, and registering a car or motorcycle as a foreigner is miserable. It is rather strange that I am in one of the few decent sized Japanese cities that does not have a subway or train system. So alot of my travel to and from the office, and shopping, and running errands now-a-days happens on an electric bike I bought here in Japan (awesome by the way). Grocery shopping on a bike can be not so fun if you want to carry much home with you. I know I am in an odd situation, noone else will have my reasons for wanting a large set of panniers, but anyone who reads this will have their own unique reason for needing the space, and that is what we have in common. As a guy who uses my panniers every day, I love this set. The side bags are only about 6" wide, 10" long, and 13" tall but they make the most of that space by not being so narrow that it's difficult to fit odd sized items in the bags. The next most important point about the side bags is that (although they can be folded flat if dissassembled) they are not shapeless bags without support. These bags have a full system of plastic inserts that support the bottom, top, and every side - as well as a wire reinforcing frame at the top. They are almost hard sided bags, almost. Because the top is enforced by a plastic sheet, it forms an extension of your bike rack so that you have a flat deck across the top of the bags that is roughly two square feet. I usually use my side bags without the rolling top bag and the appearance and funtion is still that of a complete stand alone product. When I do use the top bag I usually use it as a suitcase, I travel alot for work and sometimes bike to or from the office the same day that I cab to or from the airport. The rolling top bag is big on the inside but fits well in the overhead storage on a plane, it is just about the right size for two nights out of town. The rolling case gives up nothing in terms of quality or appearance to normal travel luggage. That is one thing that actually did suprise me about the Kettlers. As someone looking for a storage solution I had hopes of how the pannier set would perform. The fact that they lived up to my needs is a pleasant suprise. Beyond that though, the level of engineering and the amount of thought that obviously went into the design and constuction of the bags is heartening in this day and age. There is no doubt that these bags were definitely not made in china. I wish Kettler made more of the things I buy and use on a daily basis. Truly, great bags. Built to last.

Great Versatile Pannier Set!
By Vermilion & Brighton
We bought this set for a week long anniversary bike trip on the Katy Trail, (Missouri). This was an unassisted trip without a SAG vehicle so everything we needed for this trip we had to carry on our bikes. (My wife only agreed to this trip under the condition that she carry our picnic supplies, cameras and other small stuff on her bike while I would carry the bulk of our gear and clothing. lol) This Kettler set worked like a charm! The trip was in October so in addition to a weeks worth of biking clothes, evening out clothes and toiletries for two people, it also held extra jackets, shoes and rain gear.Since we were staying in B&B's along the way, having the rolling suitcase came in quite handy for hauling gear up to our room. Several times I hooked the panniers over the suitcase candle and rolled the whole lot in at once.I would say that this set is roomy, sturdy and mounts very securely on the bike rack. I even bungee corded on additional gear on top. We got caught in some moderate rain a couple of times and used the included rain cover. To err on the safe side we sprayed the panniers, suitcase and rain covers down with tent water proofing prior to our trip. I'm not sure if they needed it, but it but it worked great and our gear stayed dry as a bone.All in all the set worked out great! We had a blast and are looking forward to using it for another trip soon!
