I've been commuting to school for the past semester, and I've been enjoying it greatly. However, the panniers I've been using are fairly old, one is developing a small hole, and neither are waterproof.

This semester, most of my textbooks are quite a bit larger, and one doesn't even fit in the panniers, so I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade.

Generally I'm having to carry 2 textbooks plus a netbook, a notebook, and some other misc. supplies like a graphing calculator. I also would prefer to have one that could function as a messanger bag once off the bike.

Shopping around awhile ago, I stumbled accross this one, I liked the size and shape, but it just wasn't large enough to carry everything I needed.



I was wondering if anyone here had a good reccommendation, or at least knows of a good place to look around.
