16L: Just right for city and adventure
The all-new 16-litre Mini Pannier is the perfect size for both city living as well as lightweight bikepacking.
Designed for bikepacking
Full size pannier bags can be cumbersome and encourage you to pack more than you maybe need to. The 5, 10, and 16L sizes are perfect for carrying your bikepacking kit.
Close it how you want
Treat it like a dry bag for the most minimal setup or add the included T Hook side compression straps to keep volume to a minimum.
Keep your equipment safe
Add the Laptop Holster to your 16L Mini Pannier to keep your laptop secure whilst you ride. The removeable holster creates a false floor to keep the laptop away from the corners. It also contains a useful stash pocket.
100% waterproof
Featuring high frequency welded seams and a roll-top design, Tailfin Mini Panniers offer total protection from the elements.
Fit any rack
Each Mini Pannier ships with all the parts you need to fit it to almost any standard front or rear rack on the market.

"The 5L & 10L Mini Panniers are completely silent, waterproof, and more secure than anything else I’ve tried. Complete with variable straps, it’s hard to convey how well-engineered and thought through they are. For smaller riders especially, these Mini Panniers make all the difference in carrying capacity, without adding unduly to the overall weight of your rig. And, they’ll work with your existing, non-Tailfin racks too"
"If you’re looking for a versatile pannier that is perfectly suited for commuting while equally excelling as a rugged touring pannier, or if 16L strikes the right sizing balance for you, it’s hard to think of a bag that I could recommend more. This is especially true if you’ve already got an AeroPack or Tailfin’s rack, which integrate perfectly with the mount to create a waterproof and rattle-free system"
"For anyone who uses their bike for just about everything, be it touring or grocery shopping or riding to work, these one-size-does-most panniers really hit a sweet spot, and they’ve become our most oft-used bags. In terms of sizing for bikepacking specifically, they remain compact enough not to feel unwieldy when rolled down, despite what the numbers suggest. Plus, there’s ample expandable room for additional food on more remote trips or cold weather gear in winter"
