I am currently hunting for some deluxe panniers as well for my new Hillborne that's just begging to be loaded down. As much of my riding is as a commuting student, one want that I'm wondering if I can satisfy is the ability to stuff a partially filled backpack in one of the panniers, while loading up my other books, laptop, etc. in the other. I'm really freaking tired of the sweaty back deal with riding with a backpack on.
Just checked out the Swift page and their roll-top with backpack conversion option looks pretty tricky, but I'm wary of the price of these. I'm looking at Super-C rear panniers that are going for $140 shipped from Wiggle, and the dimensions would suggest I might be able to cram the backpack in. Super-C's seem to have rave reviews from my research, though they are a bit drab looking. Any other urban commuter types who've come up with a good backpacking setup? I also have a Paul flatbed that could carry a backpack, but the catch is they're only rated to 25 lbs and that's not enough capacity for me. Have a Nitto touring rear rack that could handle a ton of bricks, and just want to find the best way to outfit it.
