Discovery Series panniers are our top-of-the-line models. They are the culmination of a quarter century of design development focused on producing pannier/rack systems of unrivaled quality and performance. Discovery panniers represent the unique synthesis of an unwavering dedication to excellence and the wealth of touring experience necessary to create a level of performance and design by which all other products are measured. They are the best of the best.
We have worked hard over the years to provide a high level of flexibility and versatility in our Discovery line. Each model is designed differently for front and rear racks. One important difference is that front models have the most highly functional mesh pockets available, which are replaced on rear models by a non-mesh pocket and an elaborately designed compression panel.
Our most popular front panniers. They are ultra-stable, narrow-profile panniers that are extremely popular with tourists that travel primarily on paved roads and don't need large front panniers. They have all Discovery features, like protective foam inserts and zip-out dividers that bisect the primary compartments. The Paradigm has eight pockets and compartments to very conveniently segregate gear.
Dimensions: 16.5 L x 12 W x 5.5 D

As their name implies, the Expedition was designed for individuals that often travel in remote places that require the use of large front and rear panniers. They are any long -distance cyclists' dream: generous capacity, ultra stability, the finest workmanship and a list of features found in no other panniers. The Expedition has all Discovery features, plus it is available with an optional zip-out partition between the primary and middle compartments for individuals that desire to carry bulky sleeping bags, or other gear within their panniers and require a large, undivided space. With a total of ten pockets and compartments, they are our most popular rear panniers.

A smaller version of our Expedition model. It's a very popular rear pannier with long-distance tourists. We often recommend it as a front pannier for individuals that stray from the beaten path, and are forced to carry greater amounts of gear and food, plus water within their panniers. Like all of our Discovery Series panniers, they are the best of the best.
