POCO PANNIERS V3

Lightest Tough Poco Panniers in the World.

WEIGHT: See Sizing + Specs Tab.
DIMENSIONS: See Sizing + Specs Tab.

Designed for simplicity and durability, the Poco Panniers V3 are built for riders who demand ultralight performance without compromise. Now available in three sizes (Small (5-7L), Medium (7-10L), and Large (10-13L)) and seven colors, these panniers feature a minimalist design—no unnecessary zippers, seams, or excess stitching—just pure function. SOLD AS A SET OF 2.

A lightweight Tumbleweed Mini Pannier Rack or similar rack combined with Poco Panniers, and an ULTRA Bikepacking Dry Bag can weigh the same or less than a large seat bag system while offer 2X more volume, increased modularity, faster packing more organized and efficient packing. This is a great way to increase space while maintaining great bike handling for smaller frame bikes that cannot fit seat packs.

The small and medium sizes can also be used on most front racks or strapped to a handlebar. Poco Panniers V3 can also be rigged as a front bag on top / in front of a handlebar roll. Long mounting straps are supplied to fit over almost every possible rack deck.

BIKE FIT

Riders on most bikes with size men’s 12 trail runner shoes on flats will clear the lower pannier corner while pedaling No Problemo.

The Large Pannier may need to be mounted a few inches rearward on the rack for large feet on tight geometry gravel bikes with short chain stays. The great range of adjustability allows positioning the POCO ULTRA PANNIERS V3 a bit forward or back on the rack rails to make the clearance and balance fit custom.

Like most light, small panniers, Poco Panniers are meant to be left mounted on the rack most of the time. When necessary, these take about 2 min to remove and 3 min to reinstall. A simple dry bag or any plastic bag inside allows for fast and full removal of the contents into a tent or seaside cabana if desired.

MOUNTING NOTE: IMPORTANT
All lightweight panniers from any manufacturer that fits flush against the rack require proper mounting to prevent abrasion against the back of the pannier from the rack’s vertical or horizontal rails.

1: Limit vertical movement by strapping the panniers tightly at both the top and bottom.
2: Protect against abrasion by applying a strip of Gorilla Tape to the back of the pannier in any area where a rack rail may rub. (Clean dirty fabric with rubbing aclcohol to help tape stick.)

Ultra X fabric is extremely durable and used by many manufacturers, but it is not impervious to long-term abrasion. For racks with protruding mount bottole/gear points or lower horizontal support bars, using tape on the pannier back is a good preventative measure. Rack damage is not covered under warranty.

REAR RACK MOUNTING NOTE
The two primary straps support over 95% of the load weight. One-Wrap Velcro straps are provided and required to secure the daisy chain to the rack bar. Additional Velcro straps help distribute the weight, improving stability and durability. Watch the YouTube video linked above for proper mounting instructions.

Important:
DO NOT exceed 3L of water weight per side.
Pack contents securely to minimize excessive bouncing.
Watch the video to learn how to properly thread and secure the straps.

Additional Protection Tip:
If your rack struts have protruding bottle mount points, you can use flat plastic hole plugs and/or one or two layers of high-quality duct tape on the pannier fabric to prevent damage.

FRONT RACK MOUNTING NOTE
Small and Medium Poco Panniers work well on most full-size front racks. However, some smaller front racks have limited deck space, which may prevent secure strapping. If the rack rail is shorter than 8″, there may not be enough strap points for a secure mount.

Key Considerations:
Three well-spaced straps are required to prevent overstressing the bar-tacked Hypalon daisy chain.
If your packed pannier looks like a round barrel, it’s incorrectly packed and needs adjustment.

DIY SUPER-SECURE PRO EXPEDITION MOUNTING NOTE
For racks with boss mounts (e.g., Tumbleweed racks), you can customize your mounting:
Fill the panniers to simulate a loaded condition.
Mark the boss mount locations.
Use a red-hot nail to melt a small hole for the boss screw.
Use 1″ flat stainless steel or strong plastic washers inside and outside to create a water-resistant seal.
Important: The boss mounts should not bear the entire load; they should only enhance stability. Let the top straps carry most of the weight for a secure and balanced setup. Plan smart!
