Thanks, Richard! My question exactly, who not too long ago traded Ortlieb Packer Pluses for Rollers.
For my own uses, largely grocery getting, the Rollers are better because they have a much simpler closing system -- no flap, neck, drawstring, multiple super-imposed straps. But I am puzzled as to why the Packers would not be very good for touring, where - I conjecture -- one packs in the morning at one's leisure and unpacks at night, also at leisure. I vote for "rain proofing". Aside: one annoyance with at least the Ortliebe Rollers I have is that, if you store them in a cold garage in winter, the heavily plasticized fabric becomes stiff and this makes it moderately awkward to fold them together and roll them up. Picking at nits, but a nit I have picked. On Sat, Aug 16, 2014 at 10:02 AM, Richard Lawrence <wyle...@gmail.com> wrote: > > What makes the roll-top design better?
