Hello,
I have found http://www.panpack.com/ and they have some pretty nifty products but i am in the USA and i can't find anything as awesome. I don't really want to pay a ton in shipping so i am looking for panniers that are sold in the USA that can be put together as a neat little back pack for camping and other things.

thanks in advance.

One of the guys on the touring forum (n4zou maybe?) has built a PVC frame on which he hangs a daypack. Have a look on the touring forum.
