Its rectangular shape holds more usable gear than 18 litres suggests, and full-length dual zippers open the bag wide so you're not excavating to reach the bottom. Multiple pockets keep your kit sorted, while the exterior mesh pocket takes a damp rain jacket without soaking everything else. A fully waterproof integrated liner protects the main compartment, and the patented Cam-Lock® system holds the bag rock-steady over washboard gravel and broken pavement. Then, when you roll into town or reach the airport, hidden shoulder straps deploy in seconds and the pannier becomes a backpack — no tools, no separate bag to pack. The straps tuck completely away when you're back on the bike. Hand-sewn in Quebec, built to outlast the bike it's bolted to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is the same bag as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/arkel.ca\/products\/gt-18-classic-touring-pannier\" title=\"gt-18 classic touring pannier\"\u003eGT-18\u003c\/a\u003e, with the added option of converting into a backpack.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/qom9gpio6oc.typeform.com\/to\/J5RVLxJG?typeform-source=arkel.ca\" title=\"Cam-lock, panniers attachment, strong, durable\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVerify that you have the right size\u003c\/a\u003e of Cam-Lock Attachment for your rack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo add another layer of waterproof protection, increase visibility and keep grime off your bags, buy an \u003ca title=\"waterproof \/ rain cover \/ arkel rain cover \/ gt-18 rain cover \/ bike panniers \/ rack\" href=\"https:\/\/arkel.ca\/collections\/bag-covers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArkel rain cover. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arkel Bike Bags","offers":[{"title":"Cordura Red \/ 18 L","offer_id":42881458012409,"sku":"GT18BP-C-R","price":220.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cordura Black \/ 18 L","offer_id":42881458077945,"sku":"GT18BP-C-BK","price":220.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/0333\/9513\/files\/pannier-gt-18-red-arkel-2-2_1800x1800_2a5b4bc0-c711-43ae-8bfb-2f0c5055c28f.jpg?v=1756931010"},{"product_id":"orca-city-backpack-pannier","title":"Orca City Backpack Pannier","description":"\u003cp\u003eTransform your commute with the Orca City Backpack Pannier—a waterproof wonder that shifts from bike pannier to backpack in seconds.
