I completely agree. This almost always proves true when buying just about anything. I was just wondering if the starting price for quality/waterproof was in fact $150-160, which is what I've seen in a few stores in my city, or if a better deal was available.

After reviewing this thread, and doing some research, I decided to buy some Ortlieb backrollers for the cheapest price I could find them online, which was $109.99 with shipping and handling.
