Bags
Are your bags waterproof?
Our bags are not seam-sealed, submersible or water tight.
We construct our bags for daily commuting in all types of weather. We use DWR coated Cordura and waterproof EcoPak sailcloth for all of our bags and pouches, often a layer of each. Our drop liner packs (roll-top and drawstring) will keep your stuff dry in inclement weather if properly used and maintained. While we don't seal our seams, our drop liners offer a layer of extra protection using offset seam placement, and in some cases, folded no-seam bottom panels. Moisture can creep through the seams in heavy/prolonged downpours.
Our single layer packs, or anything with a zipper (even WR coated zips) are not waterproof. Be sure to protect your electronic goodies if you plan to be out in heavy rain.
Fabric does wear out, and coatings do rub off with time and use. The water-repellent nature of our bags will diminish over time. Looking to refresh your bag's waterproofing? Treat the exterior shell with a DWR finish periodically. We like Nikwax Tech Spray (works great on rain gear and boots too) just don't use a wash!
Are your panniers sold in singles or pairs?
We sell all of our products as singles.
Can I customize my bag?
Yes! In addition to our Custom Products, we can do certain modifications to make your new bag just right.

Which size pannier hooks are right for my bike rack?
The most common bike racks will fit 9mm hooks. If your bike is an e-bike or cargo style bike, you may have larger tubing. Read this article on how to pick the best size hook for your cargo bike.
Is there a lifetime warranty?
Yes!
Our warranty covers any failures as a result of defects in the materials or construction for the practical life of the product. We will happily offer no-cost repair or replacement at our discretion for issues with materials or craftsmanship.

What type of packaging is used for shipments?
We use biodegradable mailers to ship most items, with no additional padding or packaging in order to reduce waste. These bags are tough and meant to withstand the elements, whether out traveling with you or through the postal system.
Do you ship overseas?
Yes! We ship internationally using DHL Express. Getting orders across borders can be tricky, especially for a small shop like ours. We've made it easier with an improved checkout process. Here's how:
- prices and shipping charges show in local currency
- duties and taxes are calculated up front
- no surprise charges or shipping delays
- we do not charge a handling fee to help reduce costs

- Refunds will be issued after we receive the item, for the final price of the bag only, not including shipping charges. We can provide a USPS return label by request - the final shipping amount will be deducted from your refund.

- Returns over $300 will automatically have a 15% restocking fee applied.
- Once we receive your returned item, we'll inspect it to make sure it's unused, then issue a refund, if applicable. A restocking fee may be applied for products showing minor signs of wear. If your refund is denied, we will contact you and we can return the item to you for a small shipping charge.
