A very informative review done in the military tradition: be brief, be brilliant, and be gone! No BS, no music, and no silly sound effects. Perfect!

After almost crushing my lower leg on my hard panniers/rack i bougth a used Mosko Moto Rackless 80L V2 for almost half the price as new and have used them for about 3years now.
I absolutely love them, the rackless might not be the fastet to take on or off, but once on, it stays on.

Love my 35L's. Had a "slow motion spill" last weekend and one of them fell off inadvertently (due to the weirdness of the spill). Turned around about a mile after noticing I was missing my left side bag. Found it, secured it. All good. These things are bulletproof! Thanks BRM for this review. Mosko is my GO-TO! Best stuff out there.

I’ve dealt with their customer service and it’s second to none!! The engineering and quality is also second to none imo. Couldn’t agree with you more on the “buy once cry once”, or, “buy nice not twice” .

I like to think that Ian regularly hides behind furniture to surprise his wife and guests

Been using this exact setup for 2 years along with the backcountry 30L duffle. Just amazing gear.

Completely agree. I love my Mosko Backcountry 25 set, and wouldn't trade them for any other pannier I've ever tried.

As someone who falls down a fair bit when off-roading, I can say these bags are solid. Had a few good slides and they were unscathed. My riding buddy has some of the original models and has had a few crashes, one that included breaking some bones, and the bags have survived. Since their launch there a few more competitors that might be worth looking at.

Will get these when the April sun begins to shine. Thanks Ian for the great broadcast!

Congrats on the Mosko Moto affiliate role! I just ordered the new pannier brush guards.. 'cause tight over grown PNW 2 track. Good presentation Ian. See you in Discord

I cringed when I bought these for my GSA, thinking I'd miss the aluminum panniers I was so afraid of denting. But I have no regrets and have really enjoyed the mosko moto bags. I also like that I can put them on whatever bike I own going forward. Very happy with mine.

[MeerkatADV]

Always really impressed by Moskos offerings. Not the cheapest, not the lightest, but this stuff will survive to be given to your children.

[mert.travels]

I completely agree that the Mosko 35L bags are likely the best ever made. I’ve beat the hell out of these things and they still look new.

CON: The pull straps constantly come out of the metal open hook clips. It’s a miracle I haven’t lost one yet. Total PIA to always have to check that they are still there. Other than that they rock!

Thanks Ian.

I just got my first set yesterday. Gotta say the build quality is absolutely absurd, love it. One thing i don't love as much is the buckles they use are definitely not up to the same durability / quality standards as the rest of the bag. Had one arrive broken, and they seem to be pretty basic low density low quality plastic just based on look and feel.

Overall seems like an awesome system and the quality is about the best you can expect.

[BigDaveTALKS]

I might add one con and solution: The liners can be quite grabby on certain items you may put in them. (Plastic boxes, rubber sip bags, packing cubes) MY SOLUTION: Baby Powder 😄. Just put some in your hands and rub everything that’s blue. Sure your stuff may have a light powder coating and smell, but you might need it after a couple days of hard riding 😆.

I love my bags and you are right, “buy once cry once”.

[remybrouwer]

I have two 25L and it is a very good and sturdy product, was delivered in good time overseas and free shipping as well.

I just finished putting my Aux Pods on my new offset Backcountry Panniers and will be packing them up for a weekend trip shortly. When I was shopping around, I kept coming back to Mosko, but was a little put off by the price. After doing my research, though, the 'cheaper' alternatives that weren't just garbage really weren't all that much cheaper ($200 for the pair, maybe), and lacked a bunch of features such as the quick release mounting. With that in mind, I pulled the trigger.

So far, super impressed. These things were built to survive in any and all conditions and you can tell they thought really hard about everything when they were designing it. I also got a Scout top bag, which can double as a backpack! I'm very impressed with this kit.

I just installed a set of these last week on my 2023 tiger 900 rally pro. And I see You post a video!

Very nice review. I have the Lonerider bags on my 1250 GSA. But I’m travelling from Ushuaia to Alaska on a Vstrom 650 XT and deemed those too big. So I got me a set of Mosko’s. They fit the Vstrom better, though I couldn’t fit the exhaust protector and sent it back. My experience so far is great. I slit down a hill, the hill was steeper than the Vstrom could handle. The one that was on the bottom has some superficial scratches on the beaver tail, other than that no damage. Amazing build quality. The hooks of the beaver tail release themselves sometimes and that’s a bummer as I lost an auxiliary fuel bag somewhere on the caretera Austral.
