Anyone running an Elkhorn rack with Hemlock bags?
I've been looking at the Old Man Mountain Elkhorn rack with the Hemlock bags, but I can't find much from people actually using that setup.
Seems like every time panniers come up, everyone just says "buy Ortliebs." but hemlock is more volume and I like the flipp cages.
Just wondering if anyone here has been running them for a while. How are they holding up? Any regrets? Would you buy them again?
Planning to use them on my Panorama Anticosti for gravel bikepacking and fsr roads and want to avoid the panniers rattling

Is that the Tubus logo?
I am running ortliebs on a elkhorn on the back and it’s so easy. I was looking at the hemlocks and going back and forth and landed on the ortliebs, they have two sizes one of which is like 7L and essentially the same size as a micro pannier. No complaints about setup and have run it through some really ragged shit on atv trails for multiple days no problems
Edit: when I say ortliebs I mean the quick release fork packs the elkhorn isn’t compatible with standard panniers
I’m running Hemlocks on an Elkhorn.
I love them. They’re on an off-road rig and they are super secure and rattle-free. The built quality is great and OMM are a fantastic company to deal with.
