I bought a pair of drk blue Kirtland rear panniers back in the early 80's and NEVER used them. Finally christened them on a US Canada trip. The water proofing layer instantly flaked off...which I expected...BUT when i got home, the inside edges of the fabric where two pieces had come together and been sewn had unraveled beyond the joining seam...leaving open splits in tops of panniers. Sad. Thinking of ways to salvage .....
