I was wondering whether anyone's tried the
Vario QL3 backpack/pannier combo. The backpack conversion is an integrated part of the bag instead of an add-on, so maybe more comfortable?
I'd like to go and test it at the store, but I don't know of anywhere locally that stocks anything more than the basic backrollers. I asked my LBS about the lack of stock, and was told they tried and found that most Ortlieb stuff moves too slowly, and costs too much to sit on the shelf, to offer them as anything but special orders.
