Those are some good looking bags! I’m not a serious cyclist, what makes a bag a bike bag? Is it a certain ergonomic feature, or a certain size, or what? I’d be curious to find out!

A community dedicated to buying Canadian. Inspired by the subreddit of the same name.
If moderators of the subreddit wish to moderate this community, just ask.
What counts as buying Canadian? Basically, it’s the idea of buying from Canadian companies, with a preference towards buying made in Canada products. However, products made ethically outside of Canada are also allowed here, as long as the company is Canadian.

Well, panniers are designed to hook onto a bike rack, so they are made for bikes. But Arkel makes quite a few styles of bags to suit every type of cycling or lifestyle.
I use their shopper bags for shopping, and the internal frame, extremely durable fabric, and bombproof latch means that I can carry 30lbs+ per bag!
Bit I also have a few of their waterproof bags that work well in all environments.
If you commute to work, they have pannier bags that look more like a work bag, and so on 😃
That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the info. I’ve got a bit of a bag-buying problem, but have nothing made in Canada yet so that may be my excuse to buy one of their “regular” bags (i.e. not a bike bag)
