Cool looking pannier bags

[marting]

Do they exist? My other half would like something that she could stick on the rack and then take to work without looking like shes cycled in.

I quite like anything Ortlieb but these obviously dont meet SWMBO's spec. New Looxs stuff seems to fit the bill but the clips look plastic and cheap.

Can anyone recommend something that looks fairly normal and doubles as a rucksack/shoulder bag?

Altura do a few that look like (are) laptop bags.

A car boot is pretty cool.

That Altura Morph looks a bloody excellent piece of kit! The only thing that would put me off its lack of waterproofing.

My Loox pannier satchels have been serving me well, the hooks are plastic but solid enough and they have taken a decent beating this last 9 months. I've been using them to take site kit (steel boots etc) and a big laptop to work on a railway and they haven't been particularly well looked after but are still looking as good as new.

Some good options out there, those planetx ones look like good VFM

The Morph is great, very well designed!

With regards to waterproofing it's made from a tarpaulin material so it's very waterproof. It just doesn't have taped seams so it comes with a rain cover for any particularly tropical storms. Rain won't be an issue with it.

If it was a real worry, you could always get a Hi-Viz Waterproof 'Hump' cover for it and kill two birds with one stone.

I use one of them, a god send if you get caught in heavy rain, plus they really make you stand out from behind (as my co worker said ooo00eerrrr)

Brooks panniers are well made and look nice- and the nicely restrained forest green colour doesn't make them look shouty.

Carradice do a nice range of city bags.
