    Hi,

    Recommendations for double pannier bags for Irish Weather.
    1. Under 100 euro.
    2. Quick release.
    3. Suits 15" laptop.
    4. Carry 2 sets of clothing; cycling gear, office gear.
    5. Waterproof/rainproof.


    I've seen lots online.

    I have a single M-wave quick release panier that's very well put together. As a brand they're pretty good. These doubles are on ebay

    Ortlieb...certainly waterproof, dont use panniers but my Ortlieb large saddle bag is very waterproof and can double as a rear mudguard when necessary



    may stretch your budget...

    Ortlieb hands down the best. Guaranteed dust and waterproof and really hard wearing as well. They will last you years. Worth the extra few quid.

    this is very limited advice given i can't compare it to any other decent option, but i got one of these in humphries for i think 50 or 55 quid, so cheaper than on their own store, and it's done the job nicely so far, quite robust:

    Ortileib hands down the best I've used. My current ones are 3.5 years old and still going strong, never had any issues.

    Have been in plenty of downpours commuting and they always keep my clothes dry.

    Same advice here, go with Ortileib. I tried cheaper and it was a waste of money. Do it right, do it once. Great quality and waterproof.

    Went for Ortleib based on a recommendation and they are very good. Only have them since November and only use one.

    Another vote for Ortlieb and should come to about bang on your budget. Not the cheapest, but as others have said completely waterproof. Secure when on, but a dawdle to put on or take off (also easy to change fitting for another bike)

    If budget is tight, I've found these to be good.

    I recommended them to someone else here, if you search for older pannier threads, and the other guy liked the look of them too. I think I found a UK seller on eBay to avoid the wait from China.

    Another thumbs up for Ortlieb. Have had them for over 2 years now and they've been rock solid. Fit 15" laptop in there and stays dry.
