Sweet–I love the green ones. If I didn’t already have a set of the stock yellow ones (which are bomber) Id be all over this. Arkel makes great bags!

“The series is limited to their GT-54 and GT-18 bags and a a pair of bags will run you about $400.”

True, but misleading. A pair of bags front and rear will actually cost $400 for the pair of GT-54 and 2 x $145 for two individually sold GT-18. Total runs you $690… and that doesn’t include the rain covers you need for the bags if you’re doing any sort of serious riding where precipitation is inevitable (they’re not watertight like most roll-down PVC coated panniers are). Those run you another $80.

TLDR: It’ll actually cost you $770 plus tax and shipping from Vermont.

Zip lock freezer bags and garbage disposal bags are a better way to keep your gear dry, and as a bonus, organized then ponying up for rain covers.

Arkel is good stuff. Worth every penny.
