The best panniers ever…
I use this panniers for about 4 years now and they are still going strong. I have had several crashes with them and found out that the panniers are unbreakable!
Very good quality and looks, i recommend these panniers to all long distance travelers. They took my luggage from all over Europe and the Middle East and back home again (The Netherlands), always dry in terrible weather, save and sound.
Niclas Wissmann –
Really good cases!
I’m using them now for the second season and have covered many kilometres with them. They are super stable and have survived both onroad and offroad crashes without serious damage.
They offer plenty of space, are waterproof and well insulated. Best bang for the buck!
And if something does break (in my case the plastic bracket), the friendly HeavyDuties service is on the spot.
I am looking forward to a topcase! 😀

Great quality at a reasonable price.
Received my panniers yesterday and mounted them already. They are looking great on my 1150 GS.
I’m very happy and looking forward to using them for my travels.

Ich habe die Koffer umgehend bekommen. Sie sind super verpackt und die gesamte Abwicklung mit “Heavyduties” war sehr professionell und die Kommunikation erstklassig.. Die Koffer sind super. Sehr stabil und wertig. Ich finde sie auch schön. Der Anbausatz passte hervorragend und war in kurzer Zeit montiert.
Fazit: ich empfehle die Firma und die Produkte ohne Einschränkung.
