Delta Compact Panniers with dry sacks Some bike accessories are so simple they seem boring and thereby potentially taken for granted. Such is the case with my pair of Delta Compact Panniers. I own other higher quality more expensive panniers with locking attachment mechanisms that are excellent for the rigors of bike touring. However when I want to conveniently toss on a pair of bike bags for some commuting errands on short notice I don't want to mess around by having to fiddle with some gadget mechanism no matter how wonderful the products' claims. I also appreciate the fact that these bags are not too big nor too small for items I like to have stored in my commuting panniers while at the same time having extra space to pick up some miscellaneous items such as (but not limited to) groceries, small hardware store items and such.
These bags are not waterproof as I haven't felt the necessity of a waterproof pannier due to the convenient use of adding dry bags of various sizes. Roll top dry bags are nice to have for backpacking as well and not only help to protect items from getting wet in water resistant panniers it also helps to organize stuff

One reviewer has pointed out that the double stitching on the inside of the bags contribute to the quality of the 600D material of these bags. I can't say that I would recommend these panniers due to the price increase from my time of purchase. The going price of the Delta Compact Panniers at sixty bucks I find to be a bit much considering some of the other options available.
