Bikepacking specific panniers

[Smo]

Just finished my first attempt at a bikepacking specific pannier.  I'm super excited and pleased, couldn't wait to post it up here.  Sorry for the image quality, better pictures will come later when I finish the other one and iron out some of the kinks.  The item in the pannier in the photo is my "Arizona Bear Can" - a plastic container I use for food.  So named because it protects against the most problematic Arizona critters: ravens, ringtails and rodents.  I sized it specifically to fit the can.

I wanted to make a set of panniers that worked with the bikepacking philosophy of gear, i.e. no rigid attachments and lightweight (well, relatively.  these aren't super light, but much lighter than my other panniers) .  So I made these out of 1000d cordura and nylon webbing.  The end result is solidly and redundantly attached to the bike, and overall much more trailworthy than any other panniers I've used or seen.  The downside is that, while it's pretty easy to get into the panniers, removing or installing them from the bike is a several minute process.

The bike is an unbranded 29er gravity frame that I built up from a lot of used parts.  It's my first mountain bike in a couple of years, and I'm super excited to go bikepacking.  Once the weather changes from sewing weather to biking weather, that is.

EDIT: Oh, and ignore the hanging seat bag, I didn't attach it correctly the last time I put it on.  Totally overlooked it in my excitement testing the pannier.

Finished the second pannier, which is taller and has a dry bag enclosure.  First one will as well, that's next on my list.  After that is a more durable version of the blue foam padding, and seam sealing the bags.

Pic here of the second one with the can in it, super sturdy.  Better lighting this time too.  And a pic of the first one collapsed.  I wasn't sure how well it would collapse, but it snugs up nice and tight to the frame.  I haven't figured out how to tidy up the extra straps yet.
