I have used the crash bar bags on the front frames of my Royal Enfield Himalayan. They are unbelievably good value for money and well made / tough. They kept everything dry and I used some Lomo ultra lightweight dry bags inside simply to make unpacking quicker - not for any waterproofing issues. Your review is spot on and anyone considering buying these will not be disappointed if they do purchase them.
Excellent review. I thoroughly endorse everything you stated about these - I'm using a single Lomo pannier (medium size) mounted on a TEC pannier frame on my Street Scrambler. I used the "cross strap" under the pillion rack to further secure it. I imagine I may also use the other as a tail bag, as you suggest.
Got the same. They are beautifully made and look superb. I really like all of Lomo stuff. The guys there are also brilliant. I think they could do with additional plastic hoops to help pull the bags tight to the bike/rack. Their roll bags have these sown in hoops and are extremely good, super strong and no chance of ripping.
Just received a pair and they feel really well made. Many of the other makes are just charging stupid money so these are perfect for what I expect the be a wet Scottish tour next year! Nice review.
Glad you liked these Tony. I have had a set of the panier dry bags for about a year and found them to be light, easy to use, 100% waterproof even in the most awful weather and the best value for money throw overs I have ever bought! Will probably replace my leaking Oxford tail pack with one of their 15l tail packs soon.
Good review...recently purchased LOMO water sports gloves... excellent build quality ....and all for £11.00 .....so if this quality is similar.....will be a great buy !!
Great video Tony. I've been using the Lomo rucksack for my daily commute for the last five years. It's still as good as new, still as waterproof and with the odd wipe clean with soapy water still performs brilliantly. These look like a good add on to my luggage range.
I'm running with the Nelson Rigg on my R1200GSA and LOVE them especially with the insert that maintains their structure somewhat. I love the inserts that come with the NR bags as I can keep all my clothes and toiletries in one and simply grab it, pull it out and walk off to a shower, creek or river to wash up. I'll be using the NR insert in these if I get a pair. I DO want a pair of these though and would like to have the option of cinching them in when empty. Great review guy!
I like the Lomo products, and use two regularly (20L bag and leg bag). Cheap and from a British company. Pannier frames are available from places like Tec for Triumph bikes.
Me too Ron yes they are a fiddle initially but after using them it’s second nature to load and unload just use a cheap liner to remove your packed gear without taking off the Lomo bags. After seeing the cost of other bags it’s also a no brainier. Oh I’ve got nothing to do with Lomo except for using their bags when I kayaked.
Once again tnx for the wonderful info and upload. Nice simple pannier bags 💼 without over complicating things. What I am looking forward to immensely is when you go to Poland to pay homage.That will mean a lot to me. I am getting to like my Nolan 44 evo helmet now. As discussed with you before. Auckland. NZ. John.
As if today (feb 17th 2022) they have their large panniers back in stock. I've been using their products for 2 years now and went as far as Norway and Italy with them. I have two of their medium panniers permanently mounted to my crash bars. I've also used their crash bar bags (but upgraded them to a medium size). They even act as airbags when dropping the bike offroad. They can take a hit, although I haven't "tested" them during a slide and I'm not intended to do so. I've sold my TUSK aluminium panniers for these. Lightweight = better and these do not make you go bankrupt. The ONLY downside I can come up with is that IF they puncture, it's not waterproof anymore, though easily repaired because it's PVC. Expensive brands use nylon panniers with dry bags inside to protect it from abrasion and punctures. But they are 3-4 times more expensive. Great product, Lomo! I ordered an additional large pair and top roll bag for this year's season. I'm a fan.
I think they’re fantastic and everyone says they do not leak. The only downside as you said was that they don’t have a quick release system. In some areas, it wouldn’t be safe to leave them on the bike because they can be cut open. Are Lomo planning to make a quick release system?
In the same ballpark but made in USA are the Nelson Rigg panniers. I bought a set recently and they took a whole four days to arrive from east coast USA to New Zealand which is super impressive from Revzilla. I have used them in anger on a 180km off road ride and they performed flawlessly. They come with their own internal bags.
I literally received today in the post a LOMO drop leg bag to keep my cash and phone dry. Its a pity lomo don't make a bag I can strap to my sissy bar to store my spair helmet
Could you please let me know if the Lomo saddle bags are compatible to the Triumph Street Twin 2020, with Motone saddlebags rails? Until now I have been using the Tourmaster Elite saddlebags.
I've got one of their medium Adventure Panniers which I use regularly on my Street Scrambler, as well as various dry bags and I've never had a problem of leakage. If I've one gripe about the medium, and it would apply equally to the large it's that the two horizontal straps that are used to hold it on are also compression straps so if I empty the bag whilst on the bike it's now loosely held on, which means it flops about while trying to repack and needs readjusting depending on the load. I'd love to see a slightly revised version where the two jobs, fastening and compression are separated. Oh and being a Street Scrambler owner, I wish they sold them individually. Now does anyone want to go half shares on a set of the large?
Replying to myself, but weird but... I've since replaced the plastic buckles attached to the front of the bag with aluminium G-Hooks picked up from Etsy and it makes a vast improvement to the way the function, no more threading fiddly straps through and tightening, I simply loosen them a fraction and unhook. For a few pounds extra it's well worth it. Now I just have to persuade Lomo to sell them individually.
Thanks for the review just what I've been waiting for as I looked last year at the LOMO panniers but they were not 30 ltr at that time. As I only would use them a couple of times a year they will be perfect for me as the Kriega and Mosko Moto are just too expensive. Another great review 👍
There’s a is pannier base and the side carrier between the bag and the exhaust. Plus the foreshortening of the camera angle. There’s a good few inches gap at least.
I would have both bags on with the strap over the seat to take the weight, the Motone rails on the Bonnie are only fixed in two points so you don’t want the full weight of a loaded bag on the rail alone. This is what I do with my old set of throw over Lomo saddle bags
It's when the video sort of shape-shifts from one point to another - there's a few moments when your head changes shape or your hand suddenly appears out of your chest.
Forget the crash guard bags. I bought a set and on the first down on of the plastic fastener broke. This made the bag garbage because LOMO uses the same strap as to compress the bag and to attach the bag. what a pain! If you cinch down the attachment strap, you necessarily have to tighten the compression strap, compressing all the contents. Wanna get something out, you have to loosen the compression strap and then the whole bag flops off the crashbars because its the same strap. The way the plastic fastener is fixed to the bag makes it very hard to replace the plastic fitting and revive the bag. Its a badly thought out design and for front crash bars is not a good solution
00:19 either you're a man of significant size or those Kriega (32 lt.?) panniers appear to be tiny. As for the LOMO at £69, bargain is an understatement. Kinda makes me wonder is ridiculously expensive really worth it or have I been perfectly indoctrinated by the consumer culture?
Lomo stuff is excellent can’t touch it for the money great value

Definitely a bargain for what looks like high quality 👍🏻
Absolutely
I have a Lomo tail pack and its excellent VFM and high quality. Thanks for the review.
No problem
I have several Lomo products and all have been good quality and vfm. Fairly local to me too
Brilliant and about time some sensible priced kit.
Another good review, and they are definitely the bags for me just need the racks now 😎☝️keep up the good work
Thanks 👍

Motone Customs do some nice looking frames too
Got a few Lomo products. All good and great value.
They certainly seem it

Lomo make some cracking bags - simple, effective and realistically priced
They do indeed
I think they’re fantastic and everyone says they do not leak. The only downside as you said was that they don’t have a quick release system. In some areas, it wouldn’t be safe to leave them on the bike because they can be cut open. Are Lomo planning to make a quick release system?
Not as far as i'm aware

Superb bags 100%
Good review and on the money for the bags
Cheers
Another great review. Thanks
Thanks
Pair this with a giant loop pannier quick release plate and you are all set with lockable quick release on any tubular rack.
Indeed, a great set up
I literally received today in the post a LOMO drop leg bag to keep my cash and phone dry. Its a pity lomo don't make a bag I can strap to my sissy bar to store my spair helmet
Cool, Maybe suggest it to them? I'm sure they can come up with a solution
Brilliant
Simple, dry, capacious, Scottish
Exactly Nigel
Great video! How do you think they will work on a Bonneville with the standard Triumph pannier racks?
Same question for me, anyone ?
Could you please let me know if the Lomo saddle bags are compatible to the Triumph Street Twin 2020, with Motone saddlebags rails?
Until now I have been using the Tourmaster Elite saddlebags.
There’s a universal strapping system, so I think you could strap them to almost anything?
Great review, I’m off to Morocco soon hopefully and been considering these… what about heat from the exhaust though?
Nice! have a good trip. The heat will be fine as long as the pannier doesnt touch it
Great review……have you reviewed the Turkana HippoHips bags or know anything about them??
Thanks and no I haven’t. Not heard of them, I’ll check it out

@@AlexOnABoat can you make a quick video of your setup? I’m debating on buying and would like to see them with the new buckle.
Cool bags
Thanks for the video! Can they be securely fastened to a 2013 F800GS without any rack system, just the bars that come as standard?
I don’t have any experience with that particular bike, but from looking at pictures I would say yes, these will fix to the standard pannier rack
Good review thanks. Anyone know if you can use these without Racks? Low exhaust.
You could use them without racks, but the backs are not that rigid to be used on their own
Would they work with just the strap over the seat without side mountings like saddlebags?
No, they need some kind of rail or plate to strap to. The strap between them only has a single fixing point in the middle
I will to buy them!
do you think this will fit on the street scrambler back luggage panel plate (pillion seat off ) looks a cracking bit of kit fair play
This one might be a bit big, but the smaller ones might work?
Do you think these can go with SLC sw motech side carrier for Yamaha xsr700? I would love to get them
Possibly, maybe with the adapter plat would be better as the SLC frame isnt particularly big?
Thanks for the review just what I've been waiting for as I looked last year at the LOMO panniers but they were not 30 ltr at that time. As I only would use them a couple of times a year they will be perfect for me as the Kriega and Mosko Moto are just too expensive. Another great review 👍
Cheers, yes apparently the large ones have only been out for a short while.
Nice one!
Cheers
Are these panniers fireproof ?...they seem too close to the exhaust (video 4' 30'')
There’s a is pannier base and the side carrier between the bag and the exhaust. Plus the foreshortening of the camera angle. There’s a good few inches gap at least.
Nice one . I have just had some Motone made pannier rails fitted to my T100. Would these bags be suitable do you think mate?
I would have both bags on with the strap over the seat to take the weight, the Motone rails on the Bonnie are only fixed in two points so you don’t want the full weight of a loaded bag on the rail alone. This is what I do with my old set of throw over Lomo saddle bags
@@drbanana1930 Thanks Dr B. I think I will go for these. Uncle Stuart Fillingham also rates the price to quality ratio of the Lomo 🙏🏻👍🙏🏻
Possibly, but probably with the smaller version? If I can get hold of a bike wth said panniers i'd be able to check
good tip
@@mancavemoto I’ll get a pair Tony. I can always send them back if they don’t fit safely 👍
The 4 dislikes are from the other MC soft luggage companies.
Probably, or just people i've upset for some reason ;)
How would you recommend attaching these to a street twin?
These ones might be a bit big, but you would need some kind of pannier frame
Does these bags fit on sw-motech racks?
That depends on the rack, but you can get them to strap to most things
OK... Good video, but do the bags melt on the exhaust as they're damn close...
Thanks and the simple answer is no. There is the Kriega OS platform and sw-motech side carrier between the bags and the exhaust.
Astonishing value. I'm not a fan of soft luggage, though.
Available in the United States?
I believe Lomo will ship to the US
Hola, donde se comercializan en España? Gracias
¿Creo que Lomo los enviará a España desde el Reino Unido?
Which is the capacity of them?
30 litres each
Thats how soft panniers should be and not with brand-proprietary mounting system
Nice review, but all those morph cuts are distractingly crazy.
Whats a morph cut ?.
It's when the video sort of shape-shifts from one point to another - there's a few moments when your head changes shape or your hand suddenly appears out of your chest.
I don’t think the flow cuts are any more distracting than a jump cut. But glad you liked the review.

I've had their roll top bag for about ten years now and its 100% waterproof, and all for the princely price of £20, absolute bargain...
OUT OF STOCK, OUT OF STOCK, OUT OF STOCK.....OF COURSE!!!!
They are incredibly popular, and Lomo have trouble keeping up with demand even before you factor in the current logistics problems
00:19 either you're a man of significant size or those Kriega (32 lt.?) panniers appear to be tiny.
As for the LOMO at £69, bargain is an understatement. Kinda makes me wonder is ridiculously expensive really worth it or have I been perfectly indoctrinated by the consumer culture?
The one I was holding was a 22ltr OS pannier.
@@mancavemoto ah!
out of stock 😒
Popular products!
What do you use as a mounting system?
This was mounted on some Sw-motech pro side carriers
