The Paper Roads Continental Panniers are designed for those who struggle to be minimalist bikepackers or find the Trail Panniers a tad small, but still prefer to stay away from bulky touring panniers. Also designed with shorter riders in mind who have little useable packing space elsewhere on their bike.

Sold as pairs. Each single pannier has a maximum capacity of 12L, or 8L when the roll top is rolled down. At a total of 24L per pair, it is more than the capacity of some of the large saddlebags on the market. Outer zip pockets are a uniquely thoughtful feature for quick access and stashing small items.

Velcro straps are used instead of mounting hardware – it's incredibly secure and there's no possibility of panniers bouncing off over rough terrain, nor hardware failure nor loose bolts.

There are 3 grades of fabrics to choose from, all of which are compatible with a seam taped upgrade to turn the panniers into drybags.

Construction: made with a unique one panel wrap-around design and tapeable seams to minimise water ingress. This omits a long length of seam that's usually found in ordinary pannier designs. The stitches behind the front pocket come taped.

Fits all racks: there are 5x velcro strap slots per bag. Find the slots that avoids struts on your rack, or move the straps to the inner slots to fit small bikepacking racks.

Velcro straps: Velcro's sheer strength makes it more secure and impossible for bags to bounce off. The lack of hardware and mounting parts is a better safeguard against failure when riding in remote places.

Structure: supported by a 1.4mm thick polypropylene backing plate and an aluminium batten along the mounting rail to prevent the bag from curving when packed full. All straps in the back feed through slots in the plastic, which doesn't put strain on any stitching.

Pack it to the top: with the top velcro strip to seal the opening, it's possible to jam pack it but it's recommended you roll the top 3 times. This special velcro used does not catch onto clothes.

Keeping things dry: opt for the seam taped upgrade or use inner drybags.
