Colorado-based San Util Designs just officially released some lightweight mini panniers featuring a simple Voile strap and daisy chain attachment, a roll-top closure, and a 7L capacity. Find photos, specs, and more details on the San Util Designs Mini Panniers here…

Bag maker San Util Design has had a busy year. They moved into a new space in Winter Park, Colorado this fall, introduced two new hip pack designs, and have started offering ski touring packs as well. The latest addition to their lineup is a set of lightweight mini panniers that has been in development for a while now. You might have spotted them on Lucas’s Kona Sutra review in September—he’s been using a set of waxed canvas Lightweight Panniers since the spring and loves them for lightweight touring. The Mini Panniers use the same design, but are scaled down.

Kona Sutra Review

San Util Design founder Adam Nicholson designed the panniers with plans to run them on his Transition Spur for the Colorado Trail next year. “It seems like quite a few routes in the Rocky Mountain region would work best on a full-suspension, and carrying the weight low just feels so good descending,” Adam explained.
