I've been using their Waterproof Rear model for the last few years for both grocery shopping and touring with no complaints. They just have a single big compartment per side and close with plastic buckles - so no extra seams/zippers/pockets to eventually wear out. Watch for sales since Nashbar has frequently had them for half off.
