Metal Mule bags are handcrafted from 2mm aluminum. The corners have smooth beveled designs, the body panels are precision crafted, riveted together, and sealed against water and dust. The interior is free of obstructions - there's no lumps, bumps, knobs or nuts to snag your gear or wear a hole in your cargo.
Metal Mule has a patented Quick Attach system. The release levers are on the outside of the bag, just below the lock. When the lid closes, the latches are hidden and theft proof. The levers pivot smoothly on stainless steel rivets. The panniers engage the luggage frame on tactile, purpose designed bonded polyurethane coated extrusions. Easy on, easy off.
The lipped lid now incorporates a space-age silicone seal. Developed for the Formula One and Aerospace industries, it remains an active water and dust seal in temperatures between -65 & +220 degrees C.
Metal Mules are designed and hand-built in the United Kingdom.
Yes, Metal Mule costs more than other pannier systems, but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." How very true. 1
