FTP 8 mini Pannier

Sold as a pair.
Sometimes you need a bit more space than a “conventional” seatbag. You may want a few more clothing options on a month tour than you take on a weekend dash somewhere, but don’t want to be weighed down by full size panniers.
So FTP may stand for Fast Tour Pannier?

Or maybe you are (like me) a bit vertically challenged, which can limit your ability to carry a seat bag (I'm 164cm and can just, and I mean only just, squeeze a 14L Apidura seat bag on. Most of the other commercially available bags simply don’t fit).

So FTP may stand for For Tiny People?

You decide.

And the 8? Well, they are 8cm wide. And they each hold 8 litres of water. The gear from my 14 litre seat bag fills one and half of them, without the need to cram everything in with infinite precision. 
So you don’t have to spend extra time forcing stuff into bags, or fill them up, which gives you extra space for supplies for those long sections between resupply. 

Still need more space for a really long trip - see the FTP12’s

Features

Made from X Pac VX21, the panniers have a tail light holder at each end and reflective piping all round. They are designed to stay on the bike, which gives you two handy shopping baskets for those trips to town. Held on by webbing ties.

The drybags are VX21 with seam-taped joints. The roll top buckle is also a whistle and the roll top ends have a D loop so they can be used as a hanging bag to secure your food from Bears and other animals. 

Check out the backpack strap option so you can take a walk in the park, or the lock option so you can secure the drybags to the bike
