Our panniers have seen some rough use in the 8 years we've been using them.
I'm biased
This is the result of a high speed encounter with a tall curb. The bag, Front Roller Classic, is still waterproof.
Easy to clean, even when loaded.
As others have stated, there are also other good options.
Doug can i ask.your cannondale buddy of mins has one but when he came back from france few years back the top tube was damaged exactly where you snack bag is, more or less a creese as if it was hit by an axe no paint damage .do you reckon its safe to ride.
