VIDEO: Arkel Dry Lite Review
Since paring down our touring kit, we’ve become real fans of small panniers. These Arkel panniers are probably the smallest we own (definitely the lightest) and are more like a bikepackers pannier than anything else. Amazingly, they are also fairly affordable for the pair. Watch the video to see how they mount and our thoughts on them.

Great review, Russ! Good timing, too, as the Dry-Lites make a guest appearance in the current issue of Adventure Cyclist in Fatbiking the Knik (take a close look at Glen Charles’ rig). For larger photos of those bikepacking panniers in action, go to Dan Bailey’s blog: http://adventures.danbaileyphoto.com/knik-glacier-bikepacking.
On the subject of front pannier use, have a look at Flanagan’s Ride of the Great Divide (CGOAB) Day 19 Riding with Lug’a and Nicoli to Butte: https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/page/?page_id=386609 . Nicoli had the Dry-Lites mounted front and back.
Great lightweight panniers!
