Panniers and Cycle Touring Bags

Hauling heaving loads need fit-for-purpose luggage solutions whether you are on a daily commute or an around-the-world bike tour.

Carry More. Ride Further.

Cycle touring bags are about freedom through capacity. When the journey stretches from days into weeks, or daily rides turn into dependable routines, you want luggage that carries weight calmly and keeps weather out of the equation.

Our touring panniers and rack-mounted dry bags are built for riders who value reliability over refinement. Easy to load, secure on the bike, and tough enough for daily use, long tours, and everything in between.

Why Alpkit Touring Bags?

• High-capacity storage – ideal for touring, commuting and self-supported trips
• Weatherproof protection – keeps kit dry through rain, spray and grit
• Stable rack mounting – secure handling even with heavier loads
• Simple, dependable designs – no fragile systems or unnecessary complexity

Panniers or Rack-Mounted Dry Bags?

Panniers are the classic choice for cycle touring. They offer organised storage, quick access, and excellent weight distribution for long-distance riding and commuting alike.

Rack-mounted dry bags are a lighter, simpler option when you want flexible capacity and straightforward waterproofing. Ideal for riders mixing touring with bikepacking or carrying bulkier items.

Both approaches share the same goal: carrying what you need without compromising the ride.

Proven on the Long Road

Alpkit touring bags are trusted by riders crossing countries, hauling work kit through winter, and riding loaded day after day. They’re designed to be lived with, not worried about.

Built to Last the Journey

Touring bags take a beating. That’s why we use hard-wearing fabrics, simple fixings, and repair-friendly construction. Every bag comes backed by our 3-year Alpine Bond, keeping kit on the road for longer and reducing needless replacement.
