ALEX is the house brand for Karstadt's sporting goods dept. Karstadt = big dept. store chain, generally high quality stuff. Regular Ortlieb panniers currently sell at 110 euros retail, the fancy ones cost 169 euros, so 45 bucks for comparable quality is quite a steal. If you come to our country for a bike tour, now you will blend in with the natives! :)
