Carradice Kendal Pannier Bag Pair (32L) - Field Green

Carradice Kendal is a pair of waterproof panniers with a total capacity of 32 litres. The size—16 litres per bag—provides plenty of room for a change of clothes, rainwear, provisions and other gear without making the bags unnecessarily large on the bike. This makes Kendal a good choice for touring, commuting and shorter cycling trips where you want classic panniers that are easy to live with every day.

The bags are sewn from sturdy 18 oz waxed cotton canvas with self-sealing seams. The material keeps the weather out, can be rewaxed when the protection needs renewing and can be repaired if anything wears out after many years of use. Field Green is combined with burgundy leather details, brown straps and metal buckles—materials that develop more character the more the bags are used.

Each bag has a roomy main compartment that closes with a drawstring beneath the large flap, plus a separate outer pocket for items you want to access without opening the entire load. Inside, you’ll find Carradice’s classic checked lining. The carry handle makes the bag easy to take off the bike, and D-rings are provided if you want to add a shoulder strap.

Carradice’s Quick-Clip system allows the bags to be clicked on and removed in a few seconds. The hooks fit rack tubes up to 13 mm in diameter, while the lower support rail keeps the bag in place against the rack while riding. You get the convenience of a modern pannier, but with the waxed cotton, leather and repairability that make Carradice something quite different from an ordinary synthetic bag.

Kendal is for anyone who wants a pair of panniers with a well-balanced capacity for both everyday use and a few days on the road, and who would rather buy something that can be maintained and used for a long time than replace it when it starts to look well worn. They are made in Nelson, Lancashire, where Carradice has been producing bicycle bags since the 1930s.
