Leather Motorcycle panniers... Could they be the best compromise ??
I've been thinking about this..
Leather has got to be the BEST material for making proper travelling panniers out of.
It's fantastically abrasive resistant, can be easily waterproofed, very sturdy; yet flexible enough not to be damaged in a topple or low speed crash. Also very easy to work with and customise etc
Why do all the leather bags available look like 80's harley davidson cast offs and make you look like you just rode away from the Blue Oyster bar ??
Surely someone has to be making some good sturdy overlanding leather bags ???
Or do I have to make them myself ??
