Axiom provides a much more affordable product that's just as waterproof, though -- and the pockets come in handy.
I'll do my first tour next month with the Axiom panniers. I also wanted the matching handlebar bag but that one, strangely, is quite expensive ($80 - their panniers cost as much or less) and got some bad reviews for sloppy mounting mechanism
