I'm contemplating buying a set of leather flaps for my Phillips Sports...I got a set of black Rivendell flaps for the Univega - the body is mostly canvas, with a reflective strip and leather details. I like them - they're a good size and are flappy enough that I don't get much mud on my shoes (when it's wet here, it's an inevitability that I'm gonna get dirty); however, they seem to like holding weird shapes - they were bent to fit into a smallish box, and as a result, still haven't flattened as I would like them to. Eh, they keep mud off ya. I honestly would consider another pair of them to go on the Phillips, as they're just as cheap as other's leather flaps (I'm thinking VO specifically - they're both around $14-15), and would match a Riv or Acorn bag, were I to get one.
