Q6. Does anyone know a single pannier that:
* has a solid back board or rigid frame
* hangs on a 10mm diameter rear rack
* is reasonably water-resistant
* is patchable after someone rides into it or the bike falls over
* has shoulder strap(s) for carrying off the bike
* ideally has MOLLE band or similar on side(s) for attaching insulated pouch
* is sold in or shipped to the UK#BikeNiteQ #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite
@mjr @bikenite @ascentale
#bikenite A6:
My Ortlieb urban pannier seems to meet most of that criteria. -

@ascentale @mjr @bikenite I have an older model of one of these and I think it fits all of your criteria: https://arkel.ca/collections/commuter/products/metropolitan-urban-pannier
(also it's been in heavy, as in 5 days a week almost every week, use for 5 years now and is still going strong, bike falls over onto it or my other pannier on an unfortunately regular basis and I haven't managed to do more than scratch them, but presumably the standard cordura can be repaired relatively easily with a patch if it did rip)
They make a couple of other sleeker looking ones that might also fit those criteria, but this is the one I own.

Some of the ortlieb ones do have extra attachment points.
And they do just work perfectly.
eBay or vinted. The bags in my A1 photo all second hand . Panniers were still boxed but cos eBay significantly reduced - still a sizeable investment.
I got run into twice in a two day window with no loss of waterproofness
Vaude have pack which seems to fit all your requirements too. Again expensive but apparently similarly bombproof

@MatthewNewell @ascentale @mjr @bikenite this is not a recommendation because it doesn't meet the criteria - just a comment. I've owned both ortlieb and vaude, and I would say the rack fittings on the ortlieb are more secure. Couple of times over rough ground I've had the vaude pannier come unclipped

@MatthewNewell @ascentale @mjr @bikenite that said, I did fall off sideways into a pond once, and the contents were dry when i got home despite having been fully immersed

That's a pretty good thumbs up for the bags quality.
Not sure I would have enjoyed the ride home with bike kit and bags all covered in smelly pond water.

Hmm. That's no good. Thanks for mentioning . As the prices and designs are very much of a muchness - a thing like that from a real user is often enough to sway me in one direction rather than the other.
In the end I went for ortlieb because I got a great bargain on a 31litre rack bag. Which I am so chuffed with; sits nicely across two pannier and secures well, very comfy worn with shoulder strap across chest (20km w shopping no probs), normal handles comfy

@MatthewNewell @ascentale @mjr @bikenite i should clarify that it wasn't a permanent pond but a temporarily flooded hollow in the ground I encountered during a rainstorm. The water falling from the sky had already made me wetter than the water I fell into.
Fun ride, but mostly only in retrospect

A6: if you don't need anything that special, the Decathlon Riverside touring panniers are ok, for the price. I didn't test the patching but I think that it is pretty much the same material as ortlieb ones. They serve me quite well but are bit too big for my needs so I am looking for replacement for them.

A6. Ortlieb back roller does everything except the MOLLE band.
