Details
Made from 100% waterproof cotton duck the Super C has been THE choice for countless expeditions due to its rugged, reliable nature & is the classic choice of many serious cycle tourists. They are perfect for any type of cycle touring especially when used in conjunction with the matching rear panniers & barbag. The patented Quick-Clip system allows secure but easy on and off fixing to the bike. All Super C bags come with a lifetime guarantee against defective materials & workmanship

Tech Specs:
- Material: Heavy duty black Cotton Duck
- Dimensions: H 27cm x W 32cm x D 16cm
- Fully waterproof
- Carradice Quick-clip pannier hooks will fit racks up to 13mm
- One large outer pocket
- Quick release buckles & high quality webbing straps
- Integral carry handles & joining piece
- Can be used as a rear pannier when the larger capacity rear pannier is not required
- Highly reflective 3M Scotchlite reflectors front & rear
- Easily re-proofed & repaired
- Weight 1306g (Pair)

Note: Sometimes when the cotton duck is new, the fabric needs to soften a little so that the fibres spread out for maximum waterproof protection. If used immediately in extreme conditions some leakage may occur (this is not common though). Extra reproofing might help.

Overall Product Rating 4.9 / 5
Very good

ConsCotton duck fraying after a few years
ProsVery tough for everyday use. Easy to fit
These new ones are replacing my old Carradice Super C panniers. In a way I am writing a review on the old ones that are starting to fall apart after 14 years of everyday use. The bottom edge was tearing, where probably they had come into contact with too many stone walls.. During that time, the nylon inner drawstring top had come away from the main body of the cotton duck, which meant that the cotton started to fray.

ConsHeavier than other options
ProsStrength, adaptable fittings
Bought for commuting (single pannier) and credit card touring. Perfect for both uses. Strong fittings and you can tailor the fit to get best position on the rack. Feel bombproof. The external pocket is very useful.

ConsWater resistant not waterproof like roll top alternatives
ProsMaterial, external pocket, strength of fittings
Agricultural fitting compared to the German offerings, however the quality of the stitching and fabric is fantastic. Decent size with no internal pocket to snag and breathable material means my shopping doesn't sweat in the same way as my vaude panniers. Small external pocket useful for organising gear frequently used.

Secure fitting on front rack, used 2 hose clamps to further secure the bags

Used 1 full day where it would not stop raining, little bit of water at the bottom of bags, allthough this could easily have been duo to no front fender on my bike

The cotton should make the bags more breathable allowing for dampness to escape, the bags where not soaked after the 1 day of rain

Outerlayer is cotton duck, with some sort of waterproof material at the opening which can be pulled together, inside theres an additionel layer seperate from the cotton duck, bags are pretty solid/rigid without anything in them

Great product and fine price, the additional outside pocket comes in handy

These "super C" front panniers are a little bit pricey but you only get what you pay for i would not hesitate to recommend these superbly made bags or indeed the excellent services of SJS cycles who provided the best price and service possible

Rack compatibility...
By

Hi

Are these Carradice Super C Front Panniers compatible with the Thorn MkV Cro Mo Steel Lo-Loader (11576)?

I've used Altura Skye 13L (each) front panniers for the past 6 years on that rack with no issues, but they've now bitten the dust after 13 years, so looking for a replacement & these look a likely candidate at 14L each.
Hi there,

You should be able to use these panniers without an issue with that particular rack.

Thanks.
Clips supplied
By
29 Apr 2018
For the super C front panniers the pictures show a single clip as the mount: do you get three clips per bag (ie the quick release and two additional clips) as shown in your pictures for the same mounting system of the rear Super C panniers?
Hi there,

All the fittings your require are included with the panniers.

Thanks
Does This Come As A Set Or Is This Price For A Single Pannier?

Hello.

The price on the website is for a pair.

Are These Compatible With The Tubus Tara Front Rack?
By
11 Apr 2017
I read somewhere that someone recommended another version of these bags with Rixen & Kaul mounting hardware, will Carradice's system still work?
Hi,

These panniers are fine for use with a Tubus Tara front rack. They now only come with Carradice's own fitting system so will be fine.

Thanks.
Rear
By

Hi
Would these, be suitable for rear use for short tour's?
Thanks
Hi,

You could indeed use these as rear panniers, but whether or not they are suitable for short tours depends completely on how much kit you are planning to take.

Thanks.
Mounting System
By
15 Jan 2015
The picture on your page seems to be showing the old version of the mounting system.
Are these panniers supplied with mounts as pictured or the new version seen in below link?

Cheers
Hi,

Our pictures match all of our stock. We order these directly form Carradice and have received some of these panniers identical to our pictures less than 1 month ago.

Thanks.
Supplied With Rixen/Kaul Klickfix Mountings ?
By
12 Jul 2014
If not, do you supply the accessories to convert over to the Rixen + Kaul
Klickfix mounting system ?

What accessories are required ?

Thanks.
Hi,

As far as we're aware there is not a Klickfix fitting system for any panniers, Rixen and Kaul make pannier rails for certain companies but there is no Klickfix system for them. These panniers come with their own fitting system made by Carradice and would not be compatible with any rails made by Rixen and Kaul.

Thanks.
