Anybody try making army surplus bags into panniers?
Just an idea I had. I've seen Alice packs and other similar bags for fairly affordable on ebay and at army surplus stores.
Seem to have many good features:
Lots of pockets and much room
Water resistant
Can attach a frame or shoulder straps
not too expensive
I wonder if anybody's tried turning them into panniers and how hard it'd be.
