The 100% waterproof Backcountry Pannier Kit is designed for transcontinental adventure touring, enduro-style riding, and camping from your bike.
We designed the 100% waterproof Backcountry Pannier Kit for transcontinental adventure touring, enduro-style riding, and camping from the bike. Professional guides, instructors, and round-the-world riders have tested and proven this system over the last ten years. The latest version gets a range of design improvements and more eco-friendly recycled materials combined with a quick-mount system that takes seconds to get the panniers on and off the bike.
UPDATES TO VERSION 2.5
We created the Backcountry Pannier because we were tired of over-the-seat soft panniers that flop around in rough terrain, have no external pockets or stash spots, disintegrate after a couple of crashes, and are a total pain in the ass to get on and off the bike. We wanted something like a backpacking frame pack that mounts on your bike, stays connected to the bike, and stays waterproof no matter how many times you lay the bike down.
The Backcountry's are super easy to click on and off the bike, and because the waterproofing is accomplished inside the bag (thanks to the two-bag system), minor external crashes and scuffs won’t faze your panniers at all. Thanks to the thick, welded seam internal liner, you’re also protected from internal abrasion: for example, tools, a camp stove, or some other hard piece of gear vibrating and rubbing against the inner surface over a long period of time.
The Backcountry is heavier than a traditional over-the-seat saddlebag. What you get for that weight is bomb-proof construction and materials, a completely stable mounting system (no flopping), and lots of stash spots. Lighter is not always better if it comes at the price of functionality or durability. If you’re really serious about weight, we recommend our lighter, minimalist Alpine Pannier Kit; or, take off your racks (shaving 8-10 pounds off the bike) and get a Reckless 80L or Reckless 40L.

Offset Kit
Tough bag on the outside, dry bag on the inside. The outer bag is engineered to resist punctures, abrasion, and tears. The 100% waterproof inner drybag is constructed of 22oz 840D TPU with welded seams, keeping water out and your stuff bone dry.
Our quick-mount wedge system makes it easy to take the panniers on and off the bike so you can store them in your tent or have them by the fire without wrestling with straps.
Hypalon MOLLE panels allow you to customize and configure your panniers exactly the way you want them. MOLLE accessory pouches enable you to expand the capacity of your panniers for things like fuel bottles or a hydration reservoir.

I purchased the Euro panniers for my 2024 gs 1250 adventure and the bags are awesome! The quality of the bags, the aluminum euro rails, the Mosko locks, and the team is top notch. Customer service is huge in any company and Mosko moto looks out for their riders. If you want the best panniers in the business buy Mosko moto! Thank you again Amy for all your help, I will be ordering again with you guys!

I’ve been watching the reviews on the backcountry panniers for 2 years now and finally decided to spend the money. The reviews are right! These bags are absolutely the best. The quality and durability are more than I expected. The quick release mounting system is a game changer for me. The bonus for me is that they make my adventure bike look bad ass!!
They shipped earlier than they said they would and were better than expected once I put them on the bike
I put this on my BMW R1250 GSA. As usual, the Mosko Moto team has thought through all the details. The little velcro flaps that cover the nutplates for the Aux Pox always impress me. I also added the 30L Duffel Pack to the tail and I can't believe how much stuff I can carry. On a recent camping trip, I didn't need the duffel pack at all since everything fit in the panniers and my tank bag. The quality of this setup is awesome. It is very rugged yet meets my requirements of being soft-sided. I have several Mosko products including the Reckless 80. The Reckless system has been toughness tested on my KTM after a whole summer of adventure moto camping and it still looks like new (other than the dirt!). I hope to put as many miles on these Backcountry Panniers. Love all my Mosko Moto stuff!!
I've been running hard bags for years on various bikes. From Harley's to BMW's to KTM's. I finally had the opportunity to move to soft bags. Mosko was the obvious choice. I love that these have been adventure tested...and proofed for multi day trips. You all have thought of everything. Looking forward to many miles with these keeping my necessary gear along for the ride. Cheers
