Are these panniers water proof?

They may be water resistant but definitely not waterproof. I've ridden with these in snow and rain.

Good question, they are water resistant. I have taken them in hurricane weather however and the items were only moist after trip. Good bags for the price but if you want waterproof try the Ortleib brand.

They are water-resistant. In light rain/drizzle, your things will stay dry. However, if it's pouring out, chances are your things will get wet. I always wrap up papers or other things I don't want to get wet in plastic & then put it in the bags. I've used them during drizzle + downpours & I LOVE THEM!!! I always get complimented on them :-)

I'd go with Water resistant. I've been on a couple of rides of 1-2 hours in the rain (light to moderate rains), and my gear has been dry afterwards, but these were not heavy rains.I'd still probably bag everything if I was going to be in hours long heavy rain.

If they have not dried completey , yes they are not water proof. When water hits it runs. Hope this helps.

I can certify that they are water resistant. Not sure about water proof. They have been in my boat for 3 years and never failed. I put another pair in last year. I won't buy anything else. Great deal, great sound.

On this model it would seem rather ezy. And I do believe that these are water proof.

I've not ridden with them in the rain to speak of, but when I've cleaned the bike water retention was not an issue. They are denser than a sponge and not absorbent.

I don't have the panniers, but these are well-designed, so have no fear.I think the Velcro strip on each side is used and a cross Velcro connection between the panniers, too.

The bags are water resistant, but not completely water proof. We have not had anything get wet in the bag as of yet.

They are rigid but might get stuck only if empty. I tried the m-wave brand panniers, and they are more rigid but heavier.

I would say water resistant, not water proof. The Ortlieb bags are actually water proof like a riverbag. The mini panniers would hang down into side baskets, but are much smaller than baskets.

Everything I read prior to purchase says that they are water proof but I didn't use them in water.

I would think pretty well, since they are waterproof, but have not had any experience. They are large bags, too, so you may want to put your ziplocs in these bags, just for leak protection of your other suitcase things.

Seems they are. I rode my bike a couple times in heavy rain so far, and neither of them got wet inside. The Casing is pretty solid and the top button is covered in a form-fitting rubber layer.

The bags themselves are waterproof, but I would suggest you review proper sandbagging techniques, with proper overlap. They will certainly keep water out, but you'll need to make sure they are laid correctly.

Any panniers is possible. All you need is to add on panniers racks at both sides.
