See original posting – Hot Buys – My Favorite Panniers on Sale

Update: 2/23/08 – 2nds Sale at Jandd – Mountain Expedition Panniers for $218 current list is $284.95

By the way, the Jandd Mountain Expedition Panniers shown on my Slipstream above are seconds.  I couldn’t tell you why they are seconds.  It isn’t obvious to me.

NB I have two sets of Jandd Paniers. The very large Mountain Expedition Panniers for self contained tours and the smaller Mountain Panniers for riding to the store or trips when I won’t be camping.
