On rough descents, the bag often came loose and started flapping around. I think that the whole back panel of the bag bends and so it gets loose. With these two opposite hooks, the bag stays where it should 😊 I took the extra hook from the big paniers which I don't need anymore, but I am sure you can just get replacements.

Been working in bike shops over a decade. Never thought of this. Thanks for the share!
My gravel panniers have two from factory. You can also buy extras from Ortlieb for pretty cheap.
On my rack the hook wouldn’t fit from the bottom but a nice tip for those where it fits, I guess.
