Removing Jandd Mountain Panniers?
So I picked up this set of Jandd Mountain Panniers that I THINK I'm happy with. They took me about half an hour to install so that I'm comfortable they will stay on the rack. However, I typically REMOVE my panniers when I leave the bike for an extended period, and these don't seem to want to come off.
Is there a trick to loosening the bottom hooks so that they give up the death grip and let me have my bags?

We have a whole slew of Jandd panniers here. 3 full sets of 4 panniers each. We use them a lot. They last forever.
Do yours have a plastic piece of hardware that the strap runs through to tighten it? If you lift the plastic piece it should loosen the strap.
Ok I found a picture:
It's the tension lock that I am referring to.
The strap that goes through it should have velcro on the end to hold it down. You'll have to undo the velcro to lift the tension lock piece.

I sort of found that piece by accident and got as far as releasing the velcro. After that, I can't get my hands in the tight space between the pannier and the spokes, though, so loosening the tension lock piece is nearly impossible.

I think I'm just going to rethink how I use my panniers. Perhaps I'll put all my valuables (phone, wallet, etc) in a small zipper case and just take THAT with me when I leave the bike.
