what brand is this
So i bought this bike and it came with a set of panniers, but it was missing a hook from one of the bags and i have been trying to get a replacement for it. This is the logo, what brand is this? I've been trying for the last hour to find something but to no avail. any help?

I see a Trek logo that is similar.
Trek made a trunk back with panniers, but when I went to look for it two years ago, they were no longer making/selling bags. I think they had some Bontrager bags then. I wound up buying a Topeak bag, I think it was.
By the way, I doubt Trek or the other big bicycle companies actually make this kind of stuff- they probably just farm it out to the same companies that make backpacks, etc.

Got a picture of the locking system? I am sure Trek contracted with someone to manufacture the bags. Chances are good the hook and lock system came from a third party that is probably used by other brands. One well known attachment system is Klickfix, doubt it was used in your case.
