Mountain Laurel Designs just released the third iteration of their ultra-minimal Poco Panniers, which are now available in three sizes and seven flashy colors. Learn more about the Mountain Laurel Designs Poco Panniers V3 here…

Virginian gear manufacturer Mountain Laurel Designs, or MLD for short, added bikepacking bags and accessories to their lineup of ultralight shelters and backpacks in 2022. At the time, it was limited to lightweight roll-top panniers and a single-ended dry bag, but the MLD bikepacking category has expanded to include more dry bag options, a handlebar harness, and more.

The MLD Poco Panniers have undergone a few updates since their launch but have maintained a lightweight construction, simple design, and fool-proof roll-top closure. Now in their third iteration, the Poco Panniers V3 are offered in three sizes, ranging from 5 to 13 liters, and seven color options.

According to MLD, the Poco Panniers are some of the toughest lightweight panniers available. They’re made using a X-Pac RX30 front, Ultra 200X back and bottom, and a rear HDPE stiffener with front and rear carbon wands for stability. They are fabricated using a seam sealing method that creates a waterproof design with stronger seams.
