If your cargo needs aren’t of the beverage type, North Street’s duffels might be just right. The smaller Scout 11 is available with handlebar mounts to turn it into a great front end bag. Easy access to the bare essentials comes from a stiffener panel that slides into an interior sleeve and maintains the bag’s round shape even when empty. Velcro straps connect to the bag’s carry straps to attach it to your handlebar. The bag’s made of 1000 denier Cordura nylon and lined with their signature waterproof X-Pac sailcloth to keep contents dry. It comes in four colors and retails for $79.00. Each one is made to order.

These hooks—two near the top of the pannier—slot over the horizontal tube(s) of the cargo rack and then a bottom hook on a bungee holds tension for a secure fit.
