Reviews from independent journalists and Customers Damon I’Anson – Bike magazine – Holder of the world altitude record riding a Yamaha XT 660R “Quality kit. A crash at motorway speed caused only scratches to the surface of the Metal Mule luggage” John Hogan – Tester, TWO magazine September ‘06 “If you’re serious about touring it’s gotta be a Metal Mule system…..ultra light, waterproof, lockable and removable. Built to take the knocks too. Not cheap, but worth every penny.” Nick Sanders – Global adventurer and solo round the world record holder – Sponsored by Yamaha, Yamaha XT 660R “Only now do I see the true value of luggage, the Metal Mules allow me the ability to carry cameras and film making equipment safely and securely through some of the harshest environments on earth”
Simon Weir – Bike Magazine – Tested Metal Mule Luggage on a BMW R1200GS for the December ‘06 issue. “Metal Mule Luggage can withstand severe abuse………… I filled both panniers with bricks without any negative affect on the bikes handling” Peter Henshaw – Tester, Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine – Honda Transalp “After two years of daily use, pan European touring, commuting and even the weekly shop at Tescos, the Metal Mules have never let me down. The build quality is second to none”
Globebusters – Kevin and Julia Sanders - Finally! There is a UK outfit on the market manufacturing a quality aluminium pannier system for overland travel.

“I have to say the whole product is of a very good build quality and great attention to detail. Thanks to all. I love my Mules.” John Rushworth – freelance journalist
“Just got back from a little jaunt to Timbuktu. Very impressed with the rack and pannier system. Took a big rear ender from a car in Nauakaott…rack and panniers escaped unscathed…. They’re great for carrying stuff and make good bumpers!!! Lee Mears – KUDU Expeditions
“Panniers are Brilliant! The MM’s are perfect. The big advantage over all the others is that they don’t need liners as they come off so easily at night. Fantastic!” David Power - Travelling Trans Americas
“Panniers are great…they make excellent camping accessories – seat, table etc! If 90L panniers should ever be available let us know coz we could fill them!!” Trevor Nixon and Ciao (Italian girl friend with lots of shoes!!)
