Materials and functions

The Sarma Mini panniers are made with durable, waterproof fabrics on the outer, a waterproof liner and black mesh pockets on the outside. They can be used on a rack (front or rear) and on Avalanche Cycles’ cages.

They were thought as multipurpose, practical bags that can carry any shapes and volumes. Contrary to drybags that are strapped to cargo cages and difficult to access on the go, the mini panniers can be handled and packed without having to adjust any compression straps.

A rigid, replaceable PP back plate stiffens the bags to make them freestanding and therefore easier to manipulate when on the bike. The back and bottom of the panniers use a sturdier fabric to minimise wear due to abrasion.

The liner is semi-floating, which helps to keep the water out as this construction minimises water ingress through capillarity from the stitches. The roll-top closure keeps items further protected from the elements and will accommodate extra volume if needed. The external pockets are perfect to store objects that are regularly needed, or wet, or unanticipated – having some extent of volume flexibility to carry extra food or gear on a ride is always welcome.

Panniers are prone to heavy wear as they protrude from the bike and can easily get caught in shrubs, rubbed against abrasive materials or bashed during a crash. The Sarma panniers are designed with repairability in mind, as the buckles, elastic cords, hooks and back plates can be replaced if needed.

Due to their construction, these panniers aren’t 100% waterproof and valuable items should be kept in a drybag.

Materials

The Sarma Mini panniers are offered ready-to-ship in a selection of fabrics and made-to-order with a greater choice of colours (and a longer lead time). All the fabrics are waterproof and chosen for their durability :

Ready-To-Ship options

— Ultragrid Black

— RX30 Ocean Blue

— X10 Olive cotton duck

Made-To-Order options

— Sunbrella Marine Acrylic Canvas

Sunbrella Marine fabric is an impregnated waterproof acrylic woven fabric that is initially made for boat protection. It’s UV, salt and mould resistant so will hold its colour and strength even after being exposed to the elements for a long time.

This acrylic canvas has a soft and matte appearance, close to cotton, which gives it a timeless look, while still being durable and more abrasion resistant than cotton.

— Challenge Sailcloth Ultragrid

Ultragrid fabric is made from recycled 210d nylon and a 5mm double 200d Ultra grid. This makes a lightweight yet durable fabric with a striking look that holds up to tear and abrasion well.

— X Pac RX 30

This fabric (262g/sqm) laminates a 100% recycled polyester outer fabric, X Ply fibres and a transparent, waterproof polyester film. The strong, Ply fibres that lye in a diamond shape between the layers increase the tear resistance and prevent the material from stretching in all directions. This fabric has a matte appearance.
