Heat resistance of soft panniers?
I would suggest that these plumber's mats are primarily flame resistant rather than insulating. Like the oven mit idea, they will insulate a bit, for a short while, but then heat will travel through, damage the pannier fabric, and cook the contents.
I use Andystrapz, but on an ex-army Armstrong MT500 which has excellent tubular steel pannier support frames, that fit these bags well. The frames have an ally panel at the back, and crucially, a space between that and the exhaust.
I love these bags, they are on the bike every day, cope with shopping when I'm at home, and all the gear when I'm away. 2 years old now and no deterioration.
