Giant Loop Pannier Pockets
The Giant Loop Pannier Pockets are an excellent choice when expanding front-of-bike storage without compromising the rider’s comfort or the bike’s performance. Designed to be a minimalist version of tank panniers, these pockets offer a convenient and efficient way to carry essential items on your motorcycle. Let’s dive into what makes the Pannier Pockets a standout accessory for any rider.
Design and Build Quality
The Giant Loop Pannier Pockets are crafted from rugged 22-ounce Bomb Shell™ vinyl-coated fabric, ensuring durability and resistance to the elements. Mil-spec materials and hardware, including multiple webbing MOLLE-style daisy chains, add to their robustness and versatility. These features ensure that the pockets can withstand tough riding conditions while keeping your gear secure.
User-Friendly Features
One of the most appealing aspects of the Pannier Pockets is their seamless integration with the harness on Giant Loop’s Fandango and Diablo Tank Bags. However, they can also be mounted independently using the included webbing strap. This flexibility makes them a versatile addition to your motorcycle luggage setup.
The Pannier Pockets provide 4 liters of packable volume, split between two 2-liter pockets. This is perfect for carrying smaller items you need quick access to while riding. The water-resistant YKK zippers ensure your gear remains protected from moisture and dust.
Practical Insights
The Pannier Pockets are designed to stay out of the rider’s way, making them ideal for both on-road and off-road adventures. They can be connected across the middle and strapped to the tank, shrouds, or engine guards, mainly when installed with a Buckin’ Roll Tank Bag. This configuration ensures that the pockets do not interfere with the rider’s movements or the bike’s handling.
Their compact size and lightweight construction (each pocket measuring 10” L x 3.5” W x 4.5” H) make them a discreet yet highly functional addition to your motorcycle. Despite their small footprint, they provide enough storage capacity for essential items, making them a practical choice for short trips or additional storage on longer journeys.
Versatility and Compatibility
The Pannier Pockets are designed to fit virtually any motorcycle make and model. They are particularly compatible with adventure touring, dirt bikes, and dual-sport/enduro bikes. Additionally, they work seamlessly with the Kiger, Fandango, and Diablo Tank Bag harnesses on models from 2014 to the present.
Warranty and Value
Giant Loop offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the Pannier Pockets, underscoring its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Made in the USA, these pockets are built to last and provide excellent value for their price.
The Giant Loop Pannier Pockets are a fantastic addition to any motorcycle setup, offering compact, durable, and versatile storage solutions for riders. Their rugged construction, user-friendly design, and seamless integration with other Giant Loop products make them an invaluable accessory for short and long rides. Whether you’re an adventure tourer, dirt bike enthusiast, or dual sport rider, the Pannier Pockets provide extra storage without compromising performance or comfort.
The Giant Loop Pannier Pockets are an excellent choice for riders looking to enhance their gear-carrying capabilities in a compact and efficient way. Their durability, flexibility, and practical design make them a must-have for any motorcycle adventure.
