Hi everyone, I am looking for a set of panniers, and I've been considering both a set from Carsick Designs and the Sackville TourSacks for my new-to-me Sam.
I've seen a few people on the list recommend the Carsick panniers, and a few people express mild dissatisfaction with the TourSacks. I am wondering if anyone here has experience with both and can offer an informed comparison. I like that the Carsick panniers are roll-top, usable individually, and have exterior pockets for U-lock/water bottle/fuel bottle, but this is just an in-theory preference: I have not owned a set of panniers before and don't know if those are real advantages, or if there are other things I should be considering. I mostly plan to use them for camping and touring; I use a saddle bag for daily commuting, though I could see that changing, too. I am especially curious about: - relative volume and "packability" - permeability to the elements (rain, dust, whatever) Any thoughts? (Also, if anyone has a used pair of either that they're looking to offload, let me know!) Thanks!
