Rhinowalk Waterproof Bike Pannier Bag - 27L Capacity for Bicycle Storage and Transport

bike commuterbike commuter: I purchased a set of Rhinowalk 27L bags for a multi day trip along the C&O bike trail. They performed very well. I avoided riding in rain so didn't test if the bags were waterproof, but they appear to be capable of withstanding light rain for at least short lengths of time.

I stuffed the bags to maximum volume capacity. One bag was packed with about 25 to 30 pounds and the rack clips held up to the bumpy C&O bike path conditions. The adjustable rack clips made the bags compatible with my 25 year old standard rack originally used to support a kid bike seat.

The included shoulder straps were helpful transporting the bags for the train trip back home.

I purchased the Rhinowalk 6 liter front fork bags as well. The mounting hardware for those bags performed well on the ride. Minimal slippage/rotation after 8 hours of trail bumps, which was easily realigned in the morning with a simple twist of the mount.

The more expensive Ortlieb bags were out of stock when i was shopping for panniers, and i am glad that I ended up ordering the Rhinowalk bags. They met my needs just fine and cost a lot less.

Fran Green: Great pannier at a great price. It does not have the heavy panel that faces your bike to protect it from wear like the Ortilebs do. Other than that I love the extra pockets Ortileb don’t have and the outside pocket. Other than that I feel I got the same bag for 1/3 the price. I’m only going on one long tour and don’t need it to last a lifetime.

Amazon Customer: I liked the bags except for one thing. The outside pockets are not waterproof. The pocket was completely zipped and the pull tag was tucked into its little cover. The zipper let in water. The big main section of the bag kept all of my gear dry during a rainy ride. The bag attaches easily to the rack. Just don’t put anything into the outside pocket if it is raining.

Oliver FindlayOliver Findlay: On our new e-bike we have a set of bare/rails for attaching panniers. The main side bars where you would attach a pannier as seen on the picture, are too thick for these panniers. You can push them over and they will wedge in place but the grey strap that you would normally use to release the panniers is already fully open. For now they stay place and with weight in the bags they shouldn't come off, but it would have been nice to have another way of attaching the bags or something in the description to advise that they would only fit certain bar/rail sizes. We have yet to fully test them out. Here hoping they don't just pop off.
Not sure what star rating to give right now. They look and feel fairly sturdy. The straps to hold the bag closed up, would do with some clips for the extra strap that hangs out so at to not get caught in anything. Otherwise ok.

Justin Parker: I bought two of these bags for my E-bike and they serve their usage during rain and pouring down,
Kept everything dry There is plenty of room in the bags, I like how the tops fold down securely.
Update:
The front zip pocket is useless and holds nothing.

Anon: It's a good pannier. Well made with good materials, strong and I have no doubt that it is waterproof. Love the mounting clip method onto the bicycle carrier although even with adjustments to the limits it can rub on my shoe sometimes. Only real problem is that almost none of the clips or straps make any sense and better documentation is seriously needed.
Update: OK I've used it 3 times now for groceries and I suggest that you only use it about 2 thirds full. I had it to about the load shown in the image and the weight pushed it into the spokes of the wheel instantly ripping open one corner of it about 6 inches and breaking the reinforcing protection while riding on smooth road. It just sagged into trouble. Pack rack is solid and fanned out behind the pannier. That's the end of water proof. It was mounted about as well as you can with these things. It did look as though it was going to go the distance. Not as sturdy as it first looked.

C.VisserC.Visser: Update: I've had a rhinowalk waterproof bicycle pannier for over a month now and just got another one which I've had for a week. I can say it's been a very durable and practical bag. Easy to use and open. It's clips connect securely to my bicycle rack and allow for easy attachment and removal. Having two gives me storage space for over 50L of stuff. I plan to use these on an upcoming bicycle tour in the Netherlands. Overall great product and would recommend. They're at a great price too!

Original review:
After having the rhinowalk waterproof bicycle pannier for three days now I am enjoying it's convenience. I've been using it on my bike for going back and forth from college.
It clips onto the bicycle securely and easily. It can be removed just as easily, though I have never worried that it would fall off during riding. I did have one small problem with the lever that locks the sliding clips on the top. It unlocks and allows the one clip to slide around. I have to adjust it every so often to get it to the right spot.

The material is very waterproof. It seems to be very durable as well. It has two sets of buckles so that it can be rolled and closed in two...
