Overview
Our inspiring review is coming soon, for now here’s what Arkel says:
These are the ultimate waterproof and light saddle bags for those who enjoy riding fast and efficiently.
This Pannier is equipped with reflectors on all sides and watertight “roll-top” closure, they can be attached and detached from your rack in a jiffy.
Hit the road with Arkel Dry-Lites, the lightest waterproof bicycle panniers on the market. 100% waterproof, with a sleek design, able to accommodate a volume of 28 or 36 liters and with an incredible featherweight of 540 grams, the Dry-Lites are literally incomparable.
The Dry-Lites can be paired with the TailRider Trunk Bag for simplicity, functionality and lightness!
What has changed from the previous version (2022 and earlier)?
We have removed the velcros attachment and switch them to adjustable Gate keeper buckles on nylon webbing straps paired with Hypalon fabric.
Added daisy loops on the right side bag to allow single pannier mounting and use.
**Dry-lites are sold in pairs, but you have now the option to separate them and use only one.**
