When you require the cargo capacity of a rack but need something that won't hinder your ride on rough terrains, the Nano Panniers are your ideal choice. Measuring just 100mm wide, these panniers keep the load close to the bike on singletrack, ensuring they won't get in your way during challenging hike-a-bike sections. An external compression system helps keep the bag snug, regardless of the load level. Our rack attachment system is a masterpiece of detail. Despite its simple concept, the tight gap between the aluminum loop and strap eliminates any looseness at the pannier rails. A robust Voile nano strap with metal hardware provides tension at the bottom and offers flexible mounting options. The fiberglass-stiffened high-density foam frame sheet gives the bag internal structure and works in tandem with the external compression system to transfer the load to the rack. Crafted from 200 denier UHMWPE/Polyester woven laminated fabric, the Nanos have minimal seams for enhanced durability and water resistance, with double-taped lower seams. Think of these bags as frame bag supplements that stay on your bike. They're designed to carry dense and heavy items like food, water, and fuel in a low-profile form. With a bikepacking mindset, you can still store your bulky, water-sensitive items such as clothing, sleeping, and shelter gear in a waterproof handlebar setup, seat pack, or on top of the rack deck.

Please note: These panniers have minimal seams but are not fully waterproof.

Using these Nano Panniers is a breeze. First, attach them to your bike rack using the Voile nano strap and the rack attachment system. Make sure the strap is tightened well to prevent any rattling. You can adjust the external compression system according to how much you're packing to keep the bag snug. When packing, put your heavy items like food, water, and fuel inside the panniers. For your bulky and water-sensitive stuff, use a waterproof handlebar setup, seat pack, or the top of the rack deck. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the panniers down with a damp cloth to keep them clean. If they get wet, let them dry thoroughly before storing. Remember, these panniers aren't fully waterproof, so avoid submerging them in water or leaving them out in heavy rain for too long. Check the hook and loop straps and metal hardware regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, it's best to get them fixed right away to ensure the panniers work well for a long time.
