Classic Convertible Pannier Backpack

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 2 customer ratings

$320.00

The Classic Convertible Pannier Backpack – spacious and robust backpack converting to rear pannier set. The Classic offer travelers a flexible, streamlined and reliable means to explore by foot and by bicycle! Due to high customer demand and the highly skilled labour involved in manufacturing the backpacks by hand, there is sometimes a waiting list for the each new batch of pannier backpacks. Choose your color from the following in-stock colors: Cranberry, Red, Bronze, Black, Gray, and Navy Blue. The color option images for this product have been digitally synthesized for illustrative purposes – please be aware that for this reason they cannot be aligned 100% with the ‘real thing’ and some variety will occur. Colors that we hold in stock may be limited at your time of purchase. If we don’t have the color you’re looking for, it’s possible to place a backorder. Email us to request a backorder and be prepared to wait 1-3 months depending on season and our current manufacturing batch (we’re not always that slow).

I believe we have fixed the gremlins that were chewing on our leg last summer, but software does have soft spots, and electronics can surprise us! If you find ordering difficult, please email us at rjones@frii.com and we’ll do our best to take care of you.

Description

The “Classic” backpack model is 2650 cubic inches (43.4 liters) in the same design as the Elite Convertible Pannier Backpack, but without the front panniers/backpack’s side pockets. Conversion is simply a case of sliding out and attaching the backpack’s internal frame to the bike, and removing the shoulder harness and waist belt, before attaching the panniers to the rear rack. External capacity is enhanced by the generous capacity of the vertical compression straps. Both the Elite and Classic pannier backpacks now come with the “Piggyback Sack” included as standard for carrying the shoulder harness while riding the bike, though a second is also possible to order if required.

Please note that the Classic model does not feature the hardware for accommodating the front panniers, and therefore will never be “upwardly compatible”. If you think you will need front panniers, you should take a look at the Elite Convertible Pannier Backpack system.

Your bag is a warrior: falls, mud, rain, planes, trains…and still like new. I wish I would have bought the bigger one with the front panniers…

Due to high customer demand and our small team of manufacturers, Elite Convertible Pannier Backpacks are often in short supply. We try to ensure we keep some colors in stock but if we don’t have the color you are looking for, you can place a backorder : contact us to discuss your requirements and our ability to make your color by your deadline. The color option images for this product have been digitally synthesized for illustrative purposes – please be aware that for this reason they cannot be aligned 100% with the ‘real thing’ and some variety will occur. Choose a color by clicking it in the box below. You may choose an in-stock pack for immediate delivery, or choose a color for a future production run if you’re not in a hurry. Though our customers conspire to keep us sold out of every color, we do strive to keep a variety of colors on hand. We are often surprised! Email us to backorder a different color choice to be made in the following batch. Standard colors on hand today are: Lime Green, Royal Blue, Red, Bronze, and Navy Blue. We also have a couple limited edition colors in stock: Deep Burgundy and Cranberry. Cranberry is not red, not purple, it is similar to the Deep Burgundy, but the color but is less saturated. We have only 2 left of both the Cranberry and the Burgundy – these will not be replaced when sold out. Reserve your special color today! Depending on the season and our workload, a backorder may take 1-3 months. Some custom colors are not set up on the site, so email us and we’ll try to arrange for your favorite color. Thank you for your patience!
