Best waterproof pannier for stylish commuters and adventure cyclists.
Check out the Banjo Brothers Minnehaha Series Waterproof Canvas Pannier! This rugged pannier is constructed from a stout 20 oz. dry-waxed canvas, which uses an impregnated wax finish to help the natural canvas fibers shed water effectively.

It comes equipped with Banjo Brothers' basic hook and retention straps, designed to fit most racks with tubing up to 12 mm.
