LOMO throw over panniers (launched a few weeks ago) - https://www.lomo.co.uk/acatalog/wate...niers-set.html
If anyone's bought a set I'd be interested in hearing your opinion. At £50 they're cheap enough to 'buy to try' and I was toying with doing just that but a quick trawl through the attic space in my garage the other day threw up a number of (mostly army surplus) previous 'didn't make the grade but was a good idea at the time' pannier 'projects' so, not wanting to add to the pile, I'm holding back at the moment.
In general LOMO stuff is pretty robust and (in my experience) water resistant but can lack much of the sophistication that you get with the big name soft bags (welded PVC vs Cordura for example). But, then again, it's a lot cheaper. Whether this is just a test the waters Mk1 release with the next generation upgraded version coming out after they've digested the complaints or whether they've nailed it first time round is really what I'm wondering.
