Spada Expandable Touring Pannier £139.99

www.spadaclothing.co.uk

Fairly large square-ish panniers with a large opening and a decent-sized external pocket. And that’s about it. Each pannier has two integrated adjustable webbing straps (one on a bottom corner, one in the middle of the opposite side) to help you secure them to the bike – a nice touch, and certainly quicker and easier than using bungee cords. But otherwise it’s hard to see a compelling reason to spend £140 on these basic bags. Long, and needed careful adjustment to avoid touching the BMW F800GS’S exhaust.
