Thanks for the contributions

There's also Chumba

If you are using a rear rack, Arkel makes the Dry-Lites panniers at 454g/28 liters. Supplement the panniers with a dry bag or waterproof backpack, or SUL backpack on top of the rack.

Just a note regarding Chumba.

They're up front about this and mention this in their product descriptions…but all of their gear is made by Wunderlust Gear but gets a re-branding before being shipped out the door with a small markup in price.

If Chumba were local to me, I'd support them because that would mean supporting bike packing in my area…Outside of that, I just hope that they have something to offer in terms of cosmetics or customer server to justify the added cost to customers.

Has anybody bought from Chumba or Wunderlust that wouldn't mind reporting their experiences?

Don't forget Nashbar bags. Good bags for the money.

I recently picked up a full set of Revelate bags for my fat-bike. I’m pretty happy with the end result, but, when I saw this thread, I thought I’d recommend the redistributor where I found them.

These guys are spot on, and very helpful. Plus they have several brands on-hand. QBP doesn’t even have most of these bags so you’re forced to back order and wait.

I’ve been very happy with my Ortlieb bags. Bought them from http://www.thetouringstore.com that sells mostly Ortlieb bags and Tubus racks.

Wayne, the owner, was very patient and helpful with my plethora of novice questions. Shipping took a couple days. The packaging was missing a couple clips and Wayne got them and some spares to me right away at no charge.

Here in Australia we also have Hunt Bikes and Wilderness Threadworks. Both make great bags.
