Revelate Designs Portage Pannier

“The new benchmark for off-road panniers.”
– Logan Watts, Bikepacking.com

Portage Panniers are a removable dry bag and holster system that gives loads of packing versatility. Remove your bags at camp in seconds, and keep wet gear separate from your dry essentials. A three-strap compression system cinches everything to your rack, staying rock-solid and rattle-free on any terrain. With three sizes—from the race-proven 10L to the expedition-ready 18L—you’ll find the perfect fit for every ride.

The holster’s mounting system blends familiarity with refinement. Two rubber hooks, secured by mini TPU straps, mount to a tough injection-molded nylon crossbar. The hooks have a bit of lateral adjustment to fit different racks.  A molded lower mount, paired with a third mounting strap, locks the holsters in place.

Top-notch fabrics are used throughout, including our proprietary highly durable dry bag fabric featuring a white interior for great visibility. The holsters are built with Challenge 400d laminated fabric, UHMW-PE ripstop and Hypalon where it counts.

Known rack compatibility: Lightweight racks are changing fast, and we can’t test them all. Our stock rail hooks measure 10 mm in diameter, which matches the standard for most rack tubing. If your rack isn’t listed, use the sizing diagram to check fit or email us for help. For racks with 3-pack eyelets on the sides, pad or cover the eyelets—they tend to cause wear with any panniers including ours.
