Pacific Super Rear Fender

BikeRadar verdict

35 out of 5 stars

"Lightweight and waterproof; pricey but nicely featured"

Fri 6 Nov 2009, 4:00 pm UTCBy Lara Dunn, Cycling Plus

With a 33 litre volume, and weighing in at only 1,230g, the Super Rear Fender is one to consider for that long-planned tour or even the daily commute.

As a fully waterproof pannier, this is competing with some well established products and pricewise it initially doesn’t compare too favourably (Ortlieb’s Back Roller Classics are £103 a pair).

They do have some neat features though, including a floating lid that crowns a simple standard roll-top and can be removed for easy transport of valuables at rest stops. There’s also a handy fold-out mesh bag for drying wet kit on the fly.

The tough PVC-free rip-stop outer houses a zipped front pocket with water resistant zip, reflective patches and a roomy rear pocket, along with a ‘slot’ for clipping a light.

Inside the main body there’s a side pouch and a compression strap to secure bulky clothing or a sleeping bag. Klikfix mountings mean it’s easy to fit and secure in use.
