Can anyone recommend a good set of panniers to take on a 2 month tour through Europe? Something waterproof, but with the option of breathability, ideally. Thanks.

I used my Performance panniers for about 12 years before I bought Arkels - depending on your needs and budget - the Performance panniers were fine for 40,000 miles - so I'd go with either. The Arkels are higher quality, but cost a lot more.

Ortlieb top rollers are dry bag waterproof but, if you don't roll the tops down they would have the option of breathability. Not cheap ($120 front/$140 rear) but they will last for many, many years. If fact, you might not need to ever by a second set ;)
