Tern Dry Goods Bag
Best waterproof pannier for urban commuters using folding bikes.
This is the rare commuter bag that actually respects your destination as much as your ride. The sonically welded, waterproof construction keeps gear bone-dry, while the clever hardware tucks away completely to turn a utilitarian pannier into a sleek, comfortable shoulder bag. It’s the ultimate bridge between serious cycling and everyday life.
