I sincerely hope to do the same...
I've been using my Ortlieb Backroller Classics for a few weeks now; super happy with them so far. In addition to all the positive reviews I've read online, I also polled fellow cyclists that I would pass who were using them. Never heard a bad word (aside from the price). $153/pair isn't half bad though, and if you get 'em through REI you get another 10% of that back as a dividend. Also, as dbikingman states, you could always sell them if you don't find you'll need them after the 5 months.
