Yep, you cant go wrong with Arkel... I have a set of the TT-82's huge bags, very well made, top of the line zippers. All that and there great people to deal with. I have had other good panniers. But I really like the Arkels.
A friend of mine has a pair she has owned for five years or so. There a little dirty, but still good as new.
