MEC’s Aqua-Not 3 is a fully waterproof pannier with a roomy 46L capacity and includes separate pockets, a key clip in the top lid pocket, tie down points, a top Daisychain for overflow cargo, and compressions straps. Using EPO fabric and a drawstring top in combination with an overlapping shaped lid, these panniers will keep your goods completely dry. Sold as a pair and available in two colors.

The Aqua-Not 3’s are spacious, well-built, utilitarian, and fully waterproof. Great for wet weather commuting and touring.

WISH LIST

The zipper on the side pocket is so stiff that the pocket can be difficult to use. I found that the plastic locking hooks and universal hooks didn’t give me great confidence when attaching panniers to my back rack. A trip to a local MEC store for fitting would be a good idea.

SUMMARY

This product is perfect for those who need to carry lots of stuff in really wet weather and who don’t want to spend a mint.
