Anyhow - I'm very pleased with them. Spacious, and nothing got wet in the rain/30+MPH downpour we encountered in Utica. ( With the rain covers, at least ). I've found that the rain covers are a slight pain to affix completely, but not a big deal.

I've also got a set of Ortlieb Bike Packers, but left those behind when I discovered I could fit all of the gear we needed into the Lone Peaks. I look forward to seeing if I can wear them out. ;-)
