My Wisper panniers and front handlebar bag arrived today and here is a review.
I unpacked the handlebar bag first and was impressed with the quality. At first I didn't think it was going to be very waterproof with it's fold-over top and clasp. But inside I found... a rain protector that was orangy/yellow. Well cool. I can have my bag in there without having it hanging down my back trying to strangle me. There is a rather neat plastic mounting plate on the back of the front bag and this mates with another plastic plate. The two lock together and are released by the press of a button.
That's not all. The plate that attaches to the bike's handles bars has a mechanism that presses against the steering down tube and can be tightened to prevent the front bag from rotating downward. That's smart that is!
There's the cavernous(ish) main bag and side pockets. Plenty of places to stick things.
The panniers are of similar quality and also come with a rain coat that can be put over the panniers when it rains. That is a really nice touch and so thoughtful.
There's plenty of pockets for things and a huge top bag that goes across the rack. The whole thing is designed to drop on to the existing rack and has sturdy plastic clasps to hook over the top bars of the rack and a swing round lock mechanism at the lower parts to firmly lock the panniers to the rack.
Just spotted that if you undo the lefthand zip and the righthand zip all the way you can split the zips (like on your coat zip) and completely remove the top section leaving the rest of the panniers in place. How cool is that!
I am very pleased with these items and can easily recommend them.
Best regards.
