Introducing the Hussar Panniers Set, Westwind’s flagship adventure semi-rigid panniers designed for serious motorcycle travelers. Created to withstand the toughest conditions and environments, these panniers are lightweight, highly functional, durable, and designed with style in mind. The Hussar Panniers set offers reliable protection for your gear, easy expandability for additional storage, and a sleek, modern look. With its robust design and practical features, the Hussar pannier is ideal for long-distance riders and those seeking the perfect balance between toughness and convenience.
Rigid Anti-Collapse Design: The pannier’s bottom, sides, front, and back are reinforced with industrial-grade PP boards, maintaining a three-dimensional structure. Even when not fully loaded, the pannier keeps its shape and won’t collapse, ensuring it stays sturdy and reliable throughout your journey.
Premium Materials: Westwind’s custom-developed, thickened composite mesh fabric, based on 840D polyester, far outperforms typical TPU and PVC materials. This fabric excels in waterproofing, abrasion resistance, and weather resistance, offering superior performance for riders in all conditions.
Fully Waterproof: With an IPX6 waterproof rating, the pannier’s fabric is fully resistant to water penetration. This ensures that your gear stays dry in heavy rain, keeping your equipment safe no matter how challenging the weather gets.
Highly Expandable: The panniers feature RW3 expansion side bags on both sides, offering additional storage capacity when needed. "Harness Mounting System": Westwind’s patented "Harness" system securely connects the pannier to the backplate, allowing you to quickly install and remove the pannier without needing to detach the backplate. This system maximizes convenience and flexibility, ensuring the pannier stay secure even in rough terrain. The surface of the harness is covered in durable Hypalon rubber, providing additional protection for your pannier—even in the event of a fall. The pannier also includes hidden shoulder straps for easy carrying when off the bike.
Quick-Release Mechanism: When it’s time to hit the road or pack up, the Hussar panniers feature a quick-release system with integrated clips. Simply open the clips, and the entire pannier system can be quickly installed or removed, making setup and teardown a breeze.
Excellent Side Rack Compatibility: The Hussar pannier system is designed to fit most tubular side racks, including the new BMW R1300GS. With versions available for standard and offset version with exhaust dodge, the panniers offer flexibility for a variety of motorcycles. Please contact customer support to confirm compatibility with your bike's side racks.
Ultimate Protection: In addition to the robust protection provided by the patented Harness system, the bottom of the pannier is equipped with rubber corner protectors to guard against impacts and abrasion, ensuring your gear is safe even in the harshest conditions.
After 10k km, I can finally write a review. I chose these bags over a rackless system because of the security feature, but after two weeks on the road, the locks broke. They seem a bit poorly made, as the wire is just glued in and doesn't go very deep into the lock. Even when the wire is fully tightened and locked, the bags can still be partially opened – I think it would be more effective to place two metal eyelets on the edges of the bag rather than just one in the middle. Apart from that, the quality, waterproofness, packability, and durability of the bags themselves are amazing. The bags took a few falls like it was nothing. I must praise the new around-the-exhaust design, as it adds a few liters of space and the bag doesn't stick out that much.

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review after such extensive use. We're delighted that the bags themselves performed exceptionally well in terms of quality, waterproofing, and durability. We take your feedback on the locking mechanism very seriously and will review the design – your suggestion regarding additional metal eyelets is particularly valuable.
Proprio un bel set di Valigie con un bel colore e molto capienti fra l’altro, quella da 35 l può diventare anche uno zaino. All’interno ci sono anche due borse perfettamente impermeabili che si possono usare sopra le valigie da poter portare altre cose.
Overall a great luggage set, looks like its going to be reliable, but time will tell. Some things need improvement but I will let those sit in for longer time before naming them, just like everything development is a continuous job. But the Hussar’s deliver and up to now everything is functional and works well. Happy rider here !
Store owner replied:
Love to hear from a happy rider! Thanks for trusting the gear and for giving it time to prove itself. We'll keep working on making it even better. Ride on!
I was hoping the Husser pannier bags would meet my expectations and they did not disappoint. They are made of high quality materials and build quality appears to be top notch. I’ve only got to use them a few times so far packing stuff to work and back and they work great. Time will tell how well they hold up but I see them lasting a very long time. After getting them I decided to buy the sniper top box as well.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear the Hussar pannier bags are living up to your expectations, and we hope the sniper top box works just as well for you.
Einfache Montage, Qualität sowie Service während der Bestellung / Lieferung einfach Top!
Very good material, really waterproof. They feel very secure in the OEM rack. I ordered the 28/35 version including the pair of RW3. And they also give me a pair of RW6C as a bonus for being the first buyer of my country
Don’t look any further- these panniers are excellent. High-quality, easy to install, and they feel extremely durable. On top of that, Westwind Moto’s customer support is outstanding and very quick to respond. Highly recommended.
Great experience! Emailed westwind to know more about the bags, and make sure that they fit my bike and panniers. The help i got was so appreciated! Extremely well made bags, they are sturdy, water and heat resistant!
10/10 all in all experience!
Store owner replied:
Glad to hear the customer support didn't disappoint. Don't hesitate to contact us again should you have any other questions or concerns.
I am quite pleased with the extra small bags attached to the rear of my main Panniers. They seem secure and of good quality. They are perfect for large Nalgene Water bottles or similar things and easy to get at.
I have attached a few pictures.
I had my eye on the Westwind Moto panniers for a while, then bought a 790 and decided to give them a shot . Although they are a bit expensive, the qualit and materials are worth it.
Great quality, very well-thought-out design. However, I haven't mounted them on the bike yet. It would be desirable to have detailed assembly instructions available for download. Also, please include two spare screws of each size along with the replacement buckles.
Store owner replied:
We appreciate your positive remarks on quality and design. Detailed installation guides and video tutorials are already available for download on our website. Your suggestion about including spare screws and buckles is valuable – we'll consider it for future packaging updates.
Store owner replied:
That's awesome to hear! We're so glad the fit and locking are spot on, and the 28/35 works perfectly with your bike's exhaust setup. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am fully satisfied with my WestWind purchase! To be honest, I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products—I absolutely love them. Since you don't see this brand very often here in Belgium, I get a lot of people asking me questions about them whenever I'm out. I will definitely continue to support and buy from this brand for my future accessories!
Store owner replied:
We truly appreciate your kind words and continued support. It's great to hear that our quality has exceeded your expectations and we look forward to serving you again in the future.
Absolutely brilliant quality construction, will very likely outlive me.
The pannier bags are very good quality, however one of the cables on the combination lock hadn’t been swedge correctly and it fell apart as soon as i picked it up!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for the faulty lock cable. Please contact us with your order details, and we will send you a replacement lock immediately.
Great quality. Prompt feedback from the supplier. Easy to use and good materials
