I battled over the same decision. I finally went with the Ortlieb. I decided it was easier (and IMO better) to dry out something that happened to get wet, rather than trying to dry out a bunch of things that needed to stay dry. In other words, when something gets wet and should be dried out I latch it on the bike in a mesh bag to air dry. All else fails plastic bags keep other things from getting wet inside the pannier. The Ortliebs certainly keep things from getting wet. Other things I love; the roller design, one big pocket, and the easy on and off. This didn't answer your question, but it may help in your decision process.

What are some good non-waterproof panniers? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
