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.

From the very beginning I had questions on what size I would need racks I would need and my questions were answered immediately each and every time when it comes time to purchase my setup I had the most outstanding customer service from placing my order through tracking the condition of my my panniards and Backcountry pack the product itself is outstanding quality the second to none better than I expected I couldn't be happier I'm the kind of guy that likes to buy it once and cry once but there's no crying just the overall experience was world class thank you
Nice upgrade from my giant loop which were great! Just old.. like me. Thanks!
Backcountry Pannier Kit (V2.5)
Installed the Backcountry Panniers with auxpox and brush guards on my 2017 Africa Twin with Touratech racks. Mosko's videos helped the installation go very well. These bags replace the slightly smaller soft bags I've had strapped to the racks for years. The Mosko bags are an upgrade in every way; more capacity, the auxpox's are great for frequent use items like rain gear so I don't have to fish through the main bags -- and it's easy to stuff my hat, or spare gloves, or an extra underlayer in the panniers' outer flaps too -- extra conveniences my old bags didn't provide. The easy on-off for the Mosko bags are another win, no more lugging handfuls of items into the tent/hotel each night, just slide both panniers off the mounts and carry them in like suitcases. Completed a three day ride with many hours both on and off road, including a slow speed crash in deep sand. The bags, the mounts, all performed flawlessly.
Had my eyes on the backcountry offset for nearly two years before I pulled the trigger during a sale event. Super happy , a perfect example of quality ain’t cheap and cheap ain’t quality. You get what you pay for so buy the right gear the first time
