P-500 REAR Mount Superior Panniers . . .

• Lone Peak's patented "Loc-on" Panniers Suspension System is easy to use and very secure! Virtually indestructible, the hooks are designed to wrap completely around the rack rails for maximum security. I have seen far more complicated pannier mounting systems out there that do not work nearly as well. This is a great hook design!
• 3200+ cubic inches/pair, top loading
• 4 exterior pockets (one of the pockets is mesh for drying small items while you ride)
• Load compression straps
• 55 ounces for the pair I weighed
• Dual spindrift collar closure with draw-strings to keep contents dry
• Rigid back panel to keep pack out of spokes
• Loops sewn on top of lids for tying on extra equipment
• Floating lid to allow over-stuffing - This is one of the nicest features of the P-500.  Imagine being on a tour, late in the day, and you want to stop at a grocery store for a few extra supplies for the evening.  With the draw string top and floating lid, you can over-stuff the main compartment - even allowing some items to stick out a bit. Just secure the floating lid over your items to hold them in place.  You will really appreciate the flexibility.  This is why there is a  "+" next to the listed capacity.
• These are Lone Peak’s highest volume panniers with lots of pockets for organizing your gear. If I was going on a long self-supported tour, and needed to carry a lot of gear, this is the pair I would choose. The draw-string top loading main compartment allows greater ease in loading, and some flexibility in volume - great when you need to carry some extra items. They look HUGE in the photos, but that is because they are stuffed to the max with bubble wrap to show just how much they can carry. They probably won’t appear to be quite as large when loaded for your tour
• The rigid back panel measures about 10 inches wide by 13 inches tall. One corner is angled for heel clearance. The main compartment is about 5 to 6 inches deep when packed fairly flat. The outside pocket adds another 2-3 inches, depending on how the main compartment is filled. When packed very full, as in my photos above, these packs can extend 4-6 inches above the level of the rear rack.
• A Note On the Color Blue . . . Lone Peak has not been offering the P-400 or P-500 Panniers in Blue.  Because I do a high volume with Lone Peak, they agreed to do a custom run in Blue just for me.  You won't find them in Blue anywhere else!

Will a sleeping bag or tent fit in the main compartment?

• I took a P-500 Pannier to an outdoor store and discovered the following: A rolled sleeping bag that measured 15 inches long by 8 inches in diameter, and 24 inches in circumference, fit perfectly in the main compartment without having to force it in - and the drawstring top closed easily. You could probably increase each of those measurement by an inch and still get it in the pack, as sleeping bags can be stuffed into tight spaces. It definitely rounds out the main compartment, but it left room in the other pockets for gear. A bagged 2 person tent with poles that measured 16 inches long by 6 inches in diameter also fit very nicely. Any longer would probably interfere with the top lid closing properly, although another inch in length will probably do fine. With the tent in the pack there was still room left in the sides of the main compartment. I found several inexpensive tents and sleeping bags that fit easily - so you won’t have to break your budget finding gear that fits. You still may choose to tie your bedroll and tent onto the top of the rack, so that you will have LOTS of room for the rest of your gear.

Lone Peak Facts . . .

• These are First Quality, BRAND NEW packs, Made in USA by a US Company with all Made in USA Materials, with a Lifetime Warranty - NOT closed out, store displays, discontinued, or factory seconds!
• These expedition quality packs are made of 1000 Denier "Cordura Plus" fabric, ounce for ounce the toughest material around. The fabric is impregnated with weatherproof polyurethane, for extra durability and protection from the elements. Lone Peak reinforces high wear areas with "Coverlight." The Coverlight material is highly abrasion, puncture, and tear resistant. All the webbing used is 100% Nylon Webbing, which is stronger and more abrasion resistant than inexpensive polypropylene webbing you may find on other packs. All attachment and stress points are triple stitched with #92 Bonded Nylon Thread. In addition to the waterproof fabric, the main compartment seams have a 3/4 inch nylon binding over the inside of the seam for extra water protection, so your gear stays nice and dry!
• Lone Peak does not tolerate seam failures. They sew every seam twice, once during the initial sewing process, then a second time when the seams are covered with Nylon Seam Binding, to prevent seam fraying and increase overall durability. The zippers are large #8 Self-repairing Coil Zippers with extra durable nickel sliders and quiet cord pull tabs. For added visibility Lone Peak uses 3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape.
• I sold Lone Peak Packs in my bike shop for about 7 years. In that time I NEVER had to send one in for a warranty. These are great packs. You won't be disappointed!

An Important Note About Hook Size . . .

• These packs come with 8mm top rail hooks for 8mm (5/16 inch) diameter top rack rails, OR over-sized 10mm (3/8 inch) hooks for 10mm top rack rails.  Please let me know if you need 8mm or 10mm hooks. Do not assume you need 8mm hooks because that is the way panniers and racks used to come "standard." There IS no "standard" size. I am seeing just as many 10mm hooks and racks now as 8mm.
