Topeak Pannier Drybag Bike Waterproof Bike Bag Review - feat. Handle Loc System + Reflective Details

Topeak’s Pannier Drybag is a waterproof and compact bike pannier that is designed with ease of use in mind. The bag features Topeak’s Handle Loc system which makes it easy to install and remove from the bike. Topeak offers the bag in two sizes, a 16L and a 24L with retail prices of $134.95 and $144.95 respectively. The bags are designed to work with 8-16mm diameter racks with adapters included as well as reflective printing for night time visibility. Each Pannier is fully waterproof with a roll-top style top closure and an optional shoulder strap to wear the bag on the go.

Topeak has utilized their Handle Loc system to mount the pannier to racks. It’s a simple but user-friendly way to make it easier to install the bag on racks and remove it. The top piece has two plastic hooks that latch onto the horizontal bar of a rack and they can be opened and closed by pulling on the handle. Topeak includes multiple sized hook adapters to accommodate everything from 8-16mm diameter racks which can easily be swapped in. As with almost all pannier bags, the bottom has a hook to prevent the bag from swaying inward or outward. What’s clever about this Topeak design is that you don’t need tools to adjust the position of the hook, there is a push button in the middle that can be depressed to release it. The hook can be rotated and moved horizontally to fit different rack designs and mounting on the right or left side of a rack. It’s a simple improvement over other panniers that require tools to adjust their position.

Visually, the Topeak Pannier Drybag has an all-black exterior with a flexible fabric construction with a grid pattern. It has a slightly glossy appearance with darker horizontal stripes to break things up. Topeak offers the bag in both a 16L and a 24L version to accommodate different riders. We went with the smaller 16L size which has relatively compact dimensions of 45 x 26 x 15 / 17.7” x 10.2” x 5.9”. Reflective stickers on the sides help with night time visibility along with smaller yellow Topeak tags to identify the bag. There is additional material on the lower edge of the rack facing side to help with long term durability and rubbing. This is a fully waterproof bag with sonically welded seams to ensure water can’t get into it. The roll up top also makes it easy to access the main compartment while preventing water intrusion...
