Hello Cyclists...
I am embarking on my first bike tour this October.
I plan on spending 2 months cycling New Zealand as of October (aka spring - RAIN)
The panniers I had planned on buying Serratus Aquanots from MEC (Canada) are apparently no more???
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
I used the Serratus Aquanots on my cross canada tour
this Summer and they were great bags. I subjected them to a lot of abuse and some impressive rains and they never dissapointed. Unfortunately Air Canada lost one of my them at the end of my trip when I flew home and I was very sad to find that they are no longer made. MEC will, however, be making an almost identical bag sometime over the next few months and will be selling it under their own MEC brand name. But that will likely be too late for your trip. Please post what you end up purchasing and let us know how the quality is.
Have a great trip
Francois
