Since 1988, we (a group of passionate cyclist) make awesome, highly specialized bike bags & panniers. At Arkel, the majority of our products are handmade in our head office in Sherbrooke, Canada. Many of our panniers are made of carboneutral, recycle material from the US. More over, we make sure that all of our bags and panniers can endure the toughest of conditions for your next adventure, whether it be in the Northern Canadian freezing cold weather or the blazing hot temperatures of the African continent. Our team is working hard to have a positif impact on our community. We believe that ambassadors can join us and spread these awesome values out in the world. What we stand for: - Personal Growth & Accomplishments; - Inspiring & Daring Adventures; - Discovery & Travel; - Health & Sport; - Environment; - Kindness & Respect.
