Any info about xplorer panniers from  this manufacturer?  Are they good enough to stop waiting for givi  outback launch?
Thank you, guys

Are they strong?

Strong enough for normal touring use i presume. Only have them for 2500 km yet.

I have a friend who bought these hepco & becker panniers  and is in trouble. They are very high on the bike and the passenger gets with bruises on his legs at the end of a trip.

The brand does not solve the problem.

Yep, they`re not the most handy panniers when riding with pillions. I hardly ever do so no worries for me. But if you ride with pillion a lot, I`d suggest looking (and trying) other panniers.

I like the Givi panniers.
Not that high and no problems for the pillion.
