Pannier the converts to Backpack
I am thinking of getting the Delta Waterproof Pannier that converts into a backpack. I already have a Delta rack. Anyone have experience with this?

Reviving a really old post, but I'm also interested in this product. Anyone have any experience with this?

I ended up buying one. It does not have much interior room and the plastic clip broke easily. But the company replaced it without any problem. Other than the plastic clips, it is a good bag and very good at keeping water out. I never got the backpack attachment for it though.

There is nothing better than the Arkel Bug. It's very well made and designed, has a no BS lifetime warranty, and all in all is a super product backed by the best customer service in the industry.

I called Arkel and explained that a crash was the cause of the blow out, and sent them some photos. They still covered it, even though it was crash related. Amazing!
