Lidl Panniers - anyone any experience?

As the title really.

Seem pretty good value for £16.99 especially as I am not too sure how much I would use them but am considering doing a tour soon.

Also would be helpful for shopping instead of getting a sweaty back.

Any advice or experience received with thanks - dunno if this is the right board!

Cheers

Don't know anything about the ones currently advertised.

Previously they had Ortleib style panniers. The bags are good, strong and waterproof but brackets flimsy. Have read some people swap for genuine Orteib brackets. I'm a cheapskate so just replaced the seatstay clip with a short strong elastic loop and carried zipties in case of failure of the rack clips. I have used these for about 600 miles fully laden cycle camping without needing the zipties.
