I am considering new panniers for my S10. Currently I have the Trekker 33L but I really don't like the side loading. I have narrowed it down to three options.
1 - Anodised TT Zega Pro 38/31.
2 - Bumot Defender Evo 40/36 or 35/31.
3 - Mosko Moto Backcountry 35L 2.0. I'm not a gravel/dirt rider but Mosko Moto seems to be a nice and flexible system even for highway touring.

TT is a nice looking setup. But I understand that some users find them to leak.
Bumot seems to be good, but I think they have a slight bulky appearance.
MM is waterproof and of high quality according to what I find on the internet. Can be mounted on my existing PLR2119 rack.
It would be nice to hear about these three options from those of you who use or have used them. Pros and cons!

As a side note. Don't want any other options. It's all about the above ;)
Since you're considering the overpriced made in China MMs, why not check out the Givi GT709s, which will lock to your existing Givi side racks.

Why would you buy subpar imitations of the Backcountry 35?? Just read the reviews on RevZilla.
I try to avoid Made in China whenever possible.

I did read the reviews of the Givis. The only complaints are from people who think side bags should also serve as crash guards yet not suffer damage.

Mosko is engineered in the U.S. and made in Vietnam and they for most people in most cases make it through a crash. Stuff is bulletproof. But hey go ahead with the leaky wolfmans.

And even being made outside the US they have one of the best warranties I've ever dealt with. They're staff is top notch.
