Appaling - I couldn't recommend buying these unless you never ever drop your bike and need to avoid a £500 fix bill
On holiday I rolled my bike over onto myself on a petrol forecourt. The pannier completely collapsed and wouldn't go back onto the frame. Wow that's shite.
My Touratech Vegas have survived an amazing amount of abuse off road and they are still going strong 9 years later.
Givi have just washed their hands of it.
My advice would be as lovely as they look, AVOID. I was stuck 1200 miles from home strapping a brand new pannier onto the bike to get moving. The inside plastic 'reinforcement' in the corner shattered and the aluminium just folded. All from a simple roll off, not moving.
Not happy at all - now who wants some pictures?
