Another huge advantage those baskets have over a lot of bags, including those you're looking at, is that they don't stick above the rack when mounted. You can still strap something wide on the rack.

I wouldn't think twice about anything getting wet in baskets. The kayakers solved that problem when they came up with dry bags.

You can get the Wald basket here and here. Universal offers $2.00 shipping on most single item orders.
