I use TT Zega's myself but by far the best I have seen for serious travelling are ' VERNS' panniers. They are about the same price as TT but these are hand made to your specification. You can find Vern directly via the Uk GS community on www.ukgser.com. Go over there and do a search on panniers - you'll have lots to read.

Thumbs up Metalmule

I'd reccomend Metalmule. Good strong pannier system.

Good luck
Chris
