But, but, but .... I agree if we are talking about, say, Ortlieb Packers -- those otherwise very desirable and capacious panniers with so many straps, cinches, and contours that interfere with quick, simple stuffing: I have two pairs (Pluses and Sportses). But for shopping and quick stuffs, nothing but nothing beats my Banjo Bros Market Panniers. Slam, dunk: even grossly overstuffed cloth grocery sacks with large bottles distorting the would-be rectangular sides sinke gratefully into the wide, inviting maw of the BBMP mouths - desperately mixing metaphors here. Compared to at least the Medium Saddlesack, no contest at all in the Swallow All And Very Quickly category.
I do agree about Paleo though. Or rather: all paleo and all carbs all the time!
