Linking to the Australian site because the US site is not as up to date.
This company makes pretty stylish, albeit super hip, bike gear. Their bike
bags are different than others I've seen. And the gloves are pretty cool.

Thanks for the warning. Having to use both panniers would definitely
be a deal breaker. Note to others, they are currently selling the
blue ones as Singles (a separate Left and Right) on their knogusa.com
website for $29 each.

You'll have to use both as they're attached by nylon strapping
covered with rubbery cloth stuff. Might be a deal breaker for ya. On
the other hand, they're super easy to carry off the bike as they have
those nice large straps. They also have a little mesh compartment on
the outside that fits a waterbottle perfectly on each side--however,
with my large feet I have to mount the panniers with that bit facing
backwards so I don't get heel strike--I'm not sure which way is the
intended mounting polarity.
I'd buy them again, and if I didn't want orangey hipness, I'd just get
some really basic Axiom Appalachian panniers for $30--also permanently
attached by a flap inbetween instead of using mounting hooks:
http://midtownbikeco.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=4320
same medium sized capacity. Think three two-liter bottle per side.

Thanks for the review, I've been eyeing these panniers - they are also
lighter weight than most, and don't stick out too far. They seem
great for commuting, I don't really need to bring that much stuff, and
if I need to bring more than usual, I could just use both panniers
instead of just one.

I thought about buying the Valore panniers for my commuter, but the
Carradice bug bit me and nothing is quite like cotton duck with leather
straps. BUT----I applaud Knog for being innovative with their designs. The
Pod system of panniers and rack trunk is cool. Hardsided bike luggage seems
like a good idea.
Their higher end lights are interesting. I like the control module on the
Gator light. It's shaped just like the head unit, with a pictogram so you
can turn on whichever bulb you want easily. The Gator light has both a spot
beam AND a wide beam, and puts out 300-450 lumens. Plus the light looks
"different". It looks organic, like the eye of some futuristic bug. Cool.

Too bad they changed the flash--a month ago it was two pierced hotties
in cycling jerseys making out. No kidding--straight up velolesbians--
it was so audaciously crass that it got a big two thumbs up from this
rider.

How bout those kissing hot chicks?
I got these:
http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/p/BG0508
Very simple, very decent quality--one compartment with a cinch cord
and a large foam reinforced flap. The raincovers are the coolest---
though I don't remember what rain is in this drought stricken region.
I can easily carry over 30# worth of stuff in them before I start in
on the tops of the front and rear racks. Probably not good for
touring, but great medium sized urban utility panniers.

FINALLY! A combination of Vice Magazine, American Apparel, and

But yeah, the products do seem cool. A lot of the NO BRAKES crowd
around here uses those Frog lights as their primary lightning. Total
boneheads, but they make good supplemental "be seen" lightning for sure.
